I have tried several of the Nature Valley bars like the Oats and Honey, Peanut Butter, and Dark Chocolate, but recently I found a variety pack that included Maple Brown Sugar so I thought I would go for it.
Just like the other Nature Valley bars, the Nature Valley Maple Brown Sugar Crunchy Granola Bars are two in a pack for 190 calories.
Plus they also look the same and have the same texture as the other bars.
They look like a quite compressed oat mixture. When you take a bite, it crumbles all over and makes quite a mess. But, the flavor was delightful. It was not overly sweet like other maple flavor things often are. Instead is was a nice, plainly sweet granola bar with a maple syrup after taste.
Pros: Awesome flavor combination and great crunch.
Cons: Makes quite a mess and was a little predictable.
Taste: 8/10
Texture: 7/10
Amount for calories: 8/10
Overall: 8/10
These granola bars were nice calorie-wise because you get two for the calories of one, plus there was a soft sweetness that lingered. But if you are looking to branch out, this may not be it.
