Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: there's a hint of...somethinnggg I can't quite put my finger on. I think it may be the use of the organic cane sugar versus refined? I dunno, but it was unexpected and through me a little bit. It's not super sweet, despite the first ingredient being cane sugar, so my sweet-obsessed self was a tad disappointed. So for you folks who like a subtly sweet bar, this one's for you. I'd buy this again.

Can't complain about the ingredients, that's for sure. It's all organic! For 1 bar, the calories are pretty high, though. On the plus side, there's a bit of protein....okay, okay, so clearly this is an indulgent snack. But, I don't feel quite so guilty about it due to the simplistic and organic ingredients. Ahem...I ate the whole bar in one sitting, after a dinner of 2 slices of cake, followed by honeyed nuts from Oskri.
