I have to admit, the ingredients list on this bar scares me. Still, I have 6 of them to get through and if the nutrition facts are any indication this thing will taste like a candy bar. Its a traditional granola bar that's been surfing in chocolate - just the bottom half is coated. It smells just like a candy bar, but sadly as I bite into it I taste that old familiar chemical/vitamin taste. Nice granola texture, slightly soft and chewy without feeling stale, but the aftertaste is pure vitamins, like I licked a big B tablet from GNC.
