Product Review: Nature Valley Roasted Nut Crunch bars

The last time I was cruising my local grocery store, I happened upon yet another General Mills gluten-free product - Nature Valley Roasted Almond Crunch bars. I have been looking for a suitable snack bar substitute since going gluten free and was pleased to see another option to try.

If you're expecting a bar on the softer side, you can pass this one up. It definitely lives up to the "crunch" in its name. I happen to like the crunch myself. As the name implies, this bar is also comprised almost wholly of nuts. Which would make you think that it might be a snack bar that sticks with you for a while. However, I was disappointed to find that the 190-calorie bar leaves you hungry in less than two hours. Definitely more of a snack that a meal bar. Add a small slathering of peanut butter on the top though and you've got a good morning breakfast.

All in all, yet another General Mills product receives two thumbs up from this taste tester. I will definitely be buying more of these and look forward to trying the other flavors in this gluten-free line of snack bars.
