This isn't exactly crunchy. Its not devoid of crunch, but the overall texture is chewy. This is another granola bar with a chocolate bottom, but with a much more appealing bottom than the ones from before - almost no chemical taste. Overall the bar still exokes "nutrition bar" but much less so than the previous ones I've complained about. The texture is good, as I said not really crunchy but crispy enough to satisfy. This is a nice bar, overall. If I could find them at a competitve price to the clif bars, I'd happily add them to the rotation.
