KIND Breakfast Cereal Bars, Gluten Free Snacks, Chocolate with Almonds, 9.3oz Box (36 Bars)

Don't let the name, Cereal Bar, fool you. I first tried one of these bars when a friend bought them. I expected it to be a ho hum bar, just like all the rest. Big surprise, these are amazing! I compare them to a chocolate rice crispy treat with frosting. It's fabulous. Good anytime of the day. I'm hooked.

This product resembles some of the classic cereal bars, but updated with the oat-milk drizzle on top and a full layer on the underside. If you’re a fan of the dairy alternative, great! If not, the flavor difference is very noticeable and can make it difficult to finish the whole bar. Additionally, the texture is chewy with no crisp, not even from the almonds. In fact, it’s difficult to tell there’s almonds and is very different from the usual Kind bars. Gentle on teeth that may not take kindly to while almonds or crunchy granolas.As for the sweetness, this bar is quite high in sweet flavor - higher than most of their products. It seems the sweet, oat-milk flavor is the predominant flavor. Perhaps this is a good thing for those who dislike grains and granolas or prefer a sugary boost.These bars are mildly filling for a cereal bar, but could use a supplement to make a meal of it or simply reserve them as a snack. If planning to cut calories, this probably isn’t the best means.Overall, I’d stick to the Kind I know and love but wouldn’t pass these by if that’s what’s available.

These bars are great. They are delicious, reasonably sized, and relatively low in calories. They are delicious, and perfect for something small in the morning for breakfast, or a midday snack.

Great nutrition, taste, texture, consistency, and more. Don't eat too many!

There is a bottom frosting coating which I am not really sure what is it, but it is also drizzled on the top too. This is very chocolatey, it is like coco pebbles but with almonds. Actually I don't really see or taste the almonds, maybe the almond is the frosting drizzle? The bar is mostly oats and rice and is pretty crispy. Overall, not too bad. I kind of wish it didn't have the frosting because it makes it too sweet. I think it would be better without the frosting.

Here's another awesome tasting bar from Kind. Not as good as the energy bars but for a cereal bar this is really tasty. It's good to see their product line quality is so consistent. These are great for a quick bite on the go at the start of your day, while you are commuting or even as a mid day snack. Gluten free for all you kids out there and 190 calories per bar. There is also a warning the product may contain tree nuts or peanuts.The only negative from me, and I haven't seen it mentioned in other reviews, is that the 36 pack was really a 6 pack for me. This item came in the amazon bubble mailer pack. I enclosed a picture of where they affixed a different upc sticker over the standard 6 pack box upc. The sticker says pack of 36. I figured this could be because it is a vine review. However, they still show the taxable value for the 36 pack. I would hate for someone buying these to be shorted 5/6 of the quantity they paid for and feel obligated to mention it. I might be the one off as other vine reviews seem to have received all the boxes.

Usually good but bought 5 boxes and they are terrible. Amazon would not help me.

I’m not really the biggest fan of cereal bars and have them pretty rarely. That said, I really liked these KIND ones more than others. The taste is great (decently chocolatey but not like having a chocolate bar), the texture is great (chewy and not entirely dried out), and the bar is uniform with both texture and taste.Heads up, these bars are definitely sweet. They’re not as sweet as other bars but they’re sweet nonetheless. If you don’t have a sweet tooth and just dislike sweet foods, I can’t guarantee you’ll like these. I’m not a huge sweets person, but these get a pass from me.These have a notable amount of sugar in them, but again, less than many other competing bars. What really makes these shine in my eyes is the value. You’re honestly getting a lot of bar for under a dollar each, and it’s hard to go wrong with buying these. I definitely recommend these bars and plan on ordering again. They’re such good value that it’s hard to pass up. My main disclaimer is to maybe not get these if you don’t like sweet stuff at all.
