Review of 'KIND Healthy Snacks' Cranberry Almond + Antioxidants with Macadamia Nuts

Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: tart, but very sweet with lots and lots of cranberries. It has a complex texture, which was really nice (fresh and crunchy nuts; honeyed). The nutrition facts are favourable and the ingredients are wholesome, so I'd recommend this bar and brand as well as buy it again, myself. I would recommend this bar.
