Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: very chocolatey and medium sweet. It's not quite as crunchy as I expected, but still decent texture. I'd recommend the bar,but will likely not buy it again myself...simply because I prefer more fiber/protein and vitamins/minerals for post-workout snacks.
Where to buy: Wal-Mart, Freshco
Ingredients: whole grain oats, sugar, canola oil, dark chocolate pieces (sugar, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, soy lecithin, natural flavour, salt), yellow corn flour, honey, soy flour, cocoa, brown sugar syrup, salt, soy lecithin, natural flavor, baking soda.
