Yet another compressed date brownie bar. It was another salad day at the office so I had this for dessert. Its a nice dessert. This one definitely has the datey undertones, but I liked all the nuts. This one also has a lot of fiber, which is probably good in theory. It seems sweeter than the ones I had last week, which isn't bad. Also, it is less dry, which is noteworthy. This is the first time I've knowingly had "cocoa mass" and maybe that's the secret to making the bar sweet and moist, seeing as how last week's bars didn't have it. I'd say overall this is probably the best of the compressed-date bars yet, though I'm still slightly suspicious of the entire category, truth be told.
