Nature Valley Granola Bars, Sweet and Salty Nut, Dark Chocolate Peanut & Almond, 6 Bars, (Pack of 6)

Some seem confused that these have been changed, but Nature's Way make two different types of sweet and salty bars, these bars and a protein bar version. The protein version is the healthier choice, more protein and likely a lot less sugar and oil. I prefer these bars that have a milk chocolate covered bottom, while the protein version has a peanut butter-like coating that tastes waxy to me and I find them extremely dry wit that distinct "protein powder" taste. They do (or did when I ate them) have lots of whole almonds, while these have only bits of almonds, some have none. However, they are very tasty and I eat them knowing I am eating a candy bar, not a health good.One look at the ingredients and nutrition will tell you these are not healthy granola bars, but a healthier candy bar, which is fine, just snack on these bars knowing that. If you are looking for a healthy protein bar, they've come a long way and there are plenty of very good ones.

I'm a big fan of Nature Valley bars - these newer "Sweet & Salty, Dark Chocolate" bars just make me love them more. They have a nice chewy style texture to them, but do not get stuck in your teeth like some candy bars do. Additionally, the layer of dark chocolate mixture along the bottom is quite tasty, keeping this bar from being dry, which was always a complaint of the original Nature Valley snack bars.Overall, if you're a fan of peanuts, almonds, and dark chocolate and want a healthier (don't confuse this with actually healthy - it still has sugar) option to a standard candy bar, this Nature Valley bar is the right choice for you. The bars are big enough to fill the craving for a snack, but not so big that you ruin your appetite or overindulge in calories before a meal.

I can only say that something this good cannot be good for you - BUT I would be wrong. These bars are terrific - they taste more like a candy bar than a breakfast or break snack. It puts me to mind of Snickers, a fabulous candy that I cannot eat because of my diabetes. This bar is super - no aftertaste - and low in everything that I have to watch out for. The Amazon by is great - try one, I am sure you will love it.

Great quality, not too sweet, not too gooey, nor too crunchy. Just right!I'm not much of a breakfast person, but with six solid hours of work before lunch, I need something to keep me going. I've tried dozens of breakfast/granola bars and never have been quite happy. These, however, are perfect for me. I like how nutty they are with peanuts and almonds. They are well stuck together without being crumbly on the one hand or gooey on the other. The chocolate, while not fine Swiss by any means, is significantly better than the waxy pseudo-chocolate that is often found on snack bars. Others have complained about the small size, but for me, its just right. Just enough to keep me going.

Good quantity for the money, taste great, lots of vitamins etc. They always make my daughter feel better if shes hungry all of a sudden she wats one and feels better in minutes. I love them too!!

Used it for breakfast after my walk. I have eaten them for quite some time. Like the taste.

I love these things and it is nice to get them for the sale price every day. Great snack or substitute for lunch when you are on the run. 160 calories. To my mind the ad isn't clear that it is boxes that they are selling. When I first read the ad I wasn't sure if it was trying to rip me off for six bars or giving me a good price on six boxes.

These are really tasty. There is a layer of chocolate on the bottom, and chocolate chunks on top. Peanuts and almonds are mixed with granola to give the bar a salty and sweet flavor. They make a nice breakfast on the go, or a quick snack. It's more convenient to buy them on Amazon and stock up than to have to buy them every week at the store, plus they are cheaper here.Shipping was fast, and the packaging was good. The boxes weren't dented and the bars weren't smashed or broken from shipping.
