These are tasty on their own but i especially like them crushed, tossed into some yogurt with some blueberries or bananas. The only problem with this is that even in bulk Amazon is expensive. When they are on sale it's usually 2 dollars per box so the equivalent quantity to what they offer here is 12 boxes which would be 24 dollars. Amazon is selling it for 33 dollars.
Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program Making oat bars is apparently a pretty hard thing to get right. Over the years I have tried a lot of different brands and they are often too dry, tasteless, or just plain bad tasting. But this is one good tasting whole grain (very nice that they use whole grain) oats bar.
While you probably want to have some liquid available when you eat these they are not too dry. The taste is wholesome and flavorable. And they are not too sweet at all, just perfect for me, more of a hint of sweetness. Pretty good value as well, recommended.

These bars are very good and tasty, with the right texture, and with delicious oatmeal with honey touches. They came as a surprise for me, as i'm used to eat the generic energetic bars from the vending machine at work, that usually taste like cardboard and corn syrup.
These aren't like that. They are sweet but not overwhelmingly so, with the taste of honey being very perceptible. The bars aren't "honey golden" in color as many supposedly honey products tend to be nowadays, but I see that as a good thing, because that color usually comes from caramel and burned sugar, not honey. Very good bars, in general.

An immediate benefit is that there are 2 bars, each about one-quarter inch think or so, instead of one big thick one. The consistency is that they are crunchy, but break apart easily. They are NOT those hard fiber-board bars that make you feel like you are breaking your teeth. They kind of remind you of a graham cracker pie crust in taste, but with honey and oats. They are quite tasty, just sweet enough (without being sickening sweet), and they seem to be somewhat filling, enough for a mid-afternoon snack, especially with some water or tea. So, we have tasty, easy to chew, filling.
180 calories in a 2-bar, individually wrapped 1.5 oz. package, the label says the package contains 16g whole grain (of the recommended daily 48g), also contains 6g total fat, 160 mg sodium, 29 g carbs, 4 g protein, 11g sugars, 6% iron, and measures as 2 carbohydrate choices. (I believe that's for a special type diet program). Sounds like it is relatively healthy
Ingredients, listed in the following order: whole grain rolled oats, sugar, canola oil, crisp rice with soy protein (rice flour, soy protein concentrate, sugar, malt, salt), honey, salt, soy lecithin, baking soda, natural flavor, peanut flour, almond flour, pecan flour. Contains soy, peanut, almond, and pecan ingredients (for those with allergies.)
Update 3/28/10: Another good thing about these-I kept a big box of these in the car for a couple of months for anytime I am on the road and need a snack. Through the temperature changes, they stayed in tact. Unlike chocolate covered bars, there was nothing to melt. (I keep these bars and some special tea bags in the car for wherever I am.)

Although I am allergic to peanuts and almonds, I ordered the delicious crunch granola bars, oats and honey flavor. When they arrived in their inviting "100 percent natural, excellent source of whole grain" I could not wait to crunch down on one of these golden delicacies.
I quickly discovered that for me these bars are real wheezers. The taste committee living in my house confiscated them. The report is that they are 100 percent delicious.
One of my most frequent purchases from Amazon is this delectable sausage. It's made with lamb and Moroccan spices. It has some heat in it. We use it when we make spinach pizza, but there are other recipes in which it can be used, particularly in a Julia Child recipe for braised lamb shank, found in Mastering the Art of French Cooking. It lends a delicious flavor of North Africa to whatever recipe you use Merguez in. This is the only brand I've ever found for merguez, and I recommend it highly.
