Price and Packaging

I found this box at the local grocery store for about $2.50. It could probably be found cheaper at Wal-Mart. It's a 4.7 ounce box that contains 6 cereal bars that are .8 ounces each. Each bar is individually wrapped with the nutrition information on the pack. The packages are a little fatter, but a bit shorter than the average granola bar.

Thoughts

I bought these bars for a few reasons; I usually like cereal bars and granola bars, they're only 90 calories, and they had chocolate drizzle. I remember making Rice Crispy-type treats with Corn Flakes in school one year, which were really good, and I thought this would be similar. At least it looked similar on the package. It looked like a Special K Crispy Treat with some chocolate on top. What I got was nothing like a Rice Crispy treat. I guess I should have checked the ingredients to see if there was any marshmallow addition. After trying the bars, I see that the bars are made simply with cereal ingredients and a bit of chocolate.


The bars are similar in size to that of a granola bar. The bars were really hard and hard to bite into. In fact, they were rather crunchy, but not a good crunchy. More like a difficult to chew crunchy. The bars barely have any taste and the chocolate is pointless. I think a little marshmallow would have been a terrific addition, but that would have killed the idea of the "90 calorie snack."

Overall

There are several 100 calorie packs that are better than this 90 calorie bar. I would much rather have the additional 60 or so calories to have a granola or cereal bar. If you're looking for a decent, low calorie snack, I'd pass on this one. You'd be happier with a granola or other snack bar.
