Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: This bar has a great texture because of the rice crisps and the very thin but discernable layer of crisp, hardened chocolate on the bottom. It's perfectly sweet but, alas, I found that the peanut flavour was lacking. I do personally prefer the denser, chewier cookie/brownie-texture bars, but this was yummy overall and I'd recommend it!

All the ingredients are organic and clean. The nutritional profile is good -- it has a solid 9g of protein (though I'd prefer a minimum of 10g for a 190 calorie protein bar like this). It's a great source of healthy fats and a plethora of other nutrients and vitamins. Check out the full nutritional profile if you're thinking of buying this bar and you'll be sold!
