Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: The (soy) white chocolate made took this from a 3.5 to 4/5! It was soo good! The bar isn't quite as sweet as other Clif Bars I've had, which is my only issue. For any normal person, I'm sure it'll be sweet enough, though. It's chewier than I expected, which I really liked (a soft and nicely textured chew). I found that the cherry flavour was super subtle and I had to really search for it. 'White Chocolate Almond' may have been a better name. Overall, a delicious, filling, and nutrient-packed snack bar.

Although this is a really yummy bar, my love for chocolate drives me to rate chocolatey snacks higher (generally speaking). I deducted points for the missing cherry flavour, which is kinda big. I don't often find cherry-flavoured snacks, but I was hopeful that Clif Bar would be able to deliver one of the gems...like So Delicious' Cherry Nirvana -- reviewed here (mmm!). I'm dyin' to try the White Chocolate Macadamia now that I've tasted just how good they do the 'soy white chocolate'.
