Looks: This bar looks like someone took the bar on the box and bashed it with a hammer. There are none of those mini chocolate pieces, the Chex pieces are all crumbled, and the bar is struggling to maintain a rectangular shape. 2.5 out of 5
Taste: I think I have the actual recipe for this bar: take some Chex mix, pour some sickly-sweet chocolate all over it, bash it with a hammer, and then have a kindergarten class form this mix into bars. The bar is very gritty – it falls apart when you bite it, and the chocolate is too sweet for this to be in the same category as granola/nut bars, putting it firmly in the cookie/sweets category. 3 out of 5
Regurgitated Chex Mix in a bar
I don’t know how that tastes, but it’s the most disgusting-looking thing I’ve seen in ages. If I saw that on the sidewalk I’d use a plastic bag to clean it up.
I think you were being very kind (and generous) in your ratings. If I bought those bars based on the picture from the box then opened the package to find ‘that’, I’d think I’d been the victim of a very disgruntled Chex Mix worker.
I’ve had them and actually really liked them, and bought them numerous times…
I don’t think your “looks” review is entirely accurate, as I can certainly see the chocolate bits on the real deal. They, just as the bar, are not shaped as shown on the package, but I can definitely see them there.
Thank God looks aren’t everything. It tastes pretty good but I thought it would taste more salty. The Kellogg’s Special K Pretzel Granola bar is much better and it looks good. I truly am tired of “good looking” granola bars that taste like paste.
Looks like the grocery bag may have sat in your car too long!
Chocolate is chocolate, id eat it.
