Yet another compressed date bar. This one is quite good; no chemical taste or overwhelming aftertaste; really this tastes more like actual dates and nuts than most of the other bars. This might be good or bad depending on your point of view, but I'll admit I'm sort of fond of it - many of the other bars feel heavy-handed by comparison. The texture is good as well; I'm a much bigger fan of the compressed date bars with a good amount of nuts or granola mixed in. Good bar.
