Nature Valley Roasted Nut Crunch Bars

When Mika asked me to review some Nature Valley nut bars I thought he was joking. After I looked at the press kit I really thought he was joking. Then I went over to Bend to spend some time out on the trails around Broken Top. I brought them along and was pleasantly surprised by what I was tasting. These Nature Valley Roasted Nut Crunch Bars are good. I was out with some friends hiking in the Cascades and we needed some extra energy to keep us going and these bars were just what we needed.

They have a great taste and slightly sweet which is just to my liking. I felt like I was getting good quality food and not just a candy bar that doesn’t really “satisfy”. They are light and fit anywhere in a backpack. Another feature about them is that they don’t have any wheat in them so people with wheat allergies can enjoy them as well unlike many snack bars on the market today.

Overall the Nature Valley Roasted Nut Crunch bars are really good. The price for 6 is better than any of the Lara and Clif bars or other snack bars. I felt energized while out on the trail and enjoyed the tasty experience. The only downside that I can see is that they are made with sugar and corn syrup instead of a more natural sweetener. Other than that they are a good value and a great alternative to the other snack bars on the market.
