Pretty standard (if expensive) granola bar. Pretty sticky in the wrapper but not messy per se. Much more subtle than the chocolate variety from yesterday. Not overly sweet. Not as exciting as the others but hits a certain chord for those purists who are looking for a chewy granola bar that has somewhat wholesome ingredients but tastes sort of like an old-school quaker bar. I'd eat one again.

This is an expensive but good bar. It is a granola bar with both a chocolate drizzle on top and a bed of chocolate on the bottom. It tastes like a candy bar, very sweet. The sea salt is a welcome addition, cutting the sweetness.

I haven't seen these at the store but I got one in a random box of snacks so I wanted to update you. You know it ain't about the money I do it all for you. I wasn't sure what to expect out of this, it was sort of small and heavy. Inside is a chewy granola bar with a thin layer of almond butter slathered on the top and then sprinkled with chocolate chips. It isn't a good look, but it seems like in a quest for convenience we are now able to skip dipping our nature valley bars in the peanut butter jar and get to buy granola bars pre-dipped instead. A noble cause indeed. The bar is pretty good; it is pretty much what you'd get if you took a cocoa-flavored quaker granola bar and dipped it in a jar of almond butter, then a bowl of chocolate chips. Hard to hate the taste, although there is a little chemical flavor imparted from somewhere. I give it an eight, bob.
