The whole almonds ruin this otherwise perfect bar
581677
Seriously, why whole almonds? And way too many. Every bite has at least a partial almond. It ruins the bar in my opinion. Ive never experienced almonds in the other crunchy zone bars. Bleh! The beautiful crunchy chewy cinnamon flavor and texture would be 5 stars without whole nuts. There are Enough bars out there that have nuts, and I don't buy any of those because I don't like nuts in my bars. Big mistake zone perfect.

No no.. nope. No no no. Thx but...hmm no thx. I can't stand the gritty texture. I'll just keep going to Whole Foods and having my almond butter fresh made

They're delicious, I'll give it that. However it's loaded with sodium and sugars (6 grams per bar). The ingredients are too many for such a simple bar. Why the Corn Syrup, Calcium Carbonate, Corn Oil, Yellow Corn Flour, Salt, Tocopherol, & color added? You ever buy a bag of dry roasted peanuts in the store, or a bag of sunflower seeds? You can keep them in the cupboard for years without going bad, they're just roasted nuts and seeds. They could make these bars with a honey based adhesive instead of all this other junk. They wouldn't shatter and explode all over the place if they did that either. They're definitely proud to bolster that Gluten Free logo on the box though. The hipsters will come a running for these boxes of gluten free nut bars. I dunno, since I started looking at ingredients in what I eat, my eyes have opened. You can get better things if you look, and you don't have to go to any fancy trader joe store either. They have better stuff in regular supermarkets that cost the same.

These are terrible.  I love Lindt truffles.  But beware of the Almond and Caramel.  These taste nothing like any almond chocolate you've ever had.  They are more like Amaretto or Irish cream flavor.  The caramel is also disappointing as the center is not smooth as you would suspect with caramel. Any other flavors choices are safe bets, but steer clear of these two.

Words cannot begin to express my utter disappointment in the change of taste of these once delicious fig bars.  I have been in love with these bars for the past three years as their taste was simply AMAZING!  Last year I tried the new Double Chocolate Brownie bars and they were to die for.  I went back to the grocery store and bought more.  Well, yesterday, August 1, 2017, I found Nature's Bakery fig bars at a really good price at my local grocery store and bought several boxes of the Double Chocolate Brownie, Blueberry, Mango, and Peach/Apricot only to get them home and find that they have changed the formula!  The first box I opened was the Double Chocolate.  Upon removing a twin-pack from the box, even without opening the package, I immediately knew something was different.  1). The twin-pack felt lighter in weight and there was a lot of air in the packaging.  2). When I opened the twin-pack, I immediately noticed the bars were smaller and thinner in size. 3) When I bit into one of the bars, I was faced with the greatest disappointment - the taste has changed!  The flavor of these new bars do NOT compare to the former taste.  Talk about upsetting!!  I also tried the Blueberry which was my second favorite flavor.  It too, was smaller and thinner and the taste has changed for the worst.

Why, oh why, Nature's Bakery, did you do this?!  Why?!  When you have a recipe that your devoted fans obviously loved, why would you change the taste for the worst and not for the better?  The recipe you had was AWESOME and now, not so much. I now have several boxes of fig bars that I don't like.  I will keep them because I am currently on a clean-eating and weight-training program and I love that I can easily carry these with me in my purse when I get hungry and stay focused until my next meal.

I will be sending an email to Nature's Bakery customer service to let them know of my disappointment in what they have done and to say they have lost a customer.

These protein bars taste great and are a nice change from the usual bars out there. Would have given them 5 stars - except that they are SO MESSY to eat! Seriously, there is no neat way to eat them - crumbs and flakes of icing go everywhere.

FALSE LABELING. The ALMONDS are NOT like you would find in a Almond Hershey bar. They are TINY chips ... like sand. Almost microscopic. You can't even taste them. If you want almonds DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY on this.

I have bought all three flavors included in the variety pack at the grocery store regularly, but out of convenience ordered them on Amazon. They were just delivered today and I ate one, and nearly cracked a tooth they are so hard! I have never found Kind bars to be hard, crunchy, etc. but I just had the most rock hard granola bar of my life. Will definitely not be ordering again.

I have gone through three boxes of these, and not once did I encountered a single bar that had more than one almond. In fact most bars failed to contain a single whole almond.  The almonds I did encounter were usually half an almond or less.

The bar tastes good but I feel betrayed by the photo on the box, as it was a big selling point for me.

I really like these bars, so this review is not in reference to the quality of vega bars. Instead, I wanted to let other customers know that I found several of the bars in my 12-pack unwrapped at one end. Although they hadn't been eaten, the fact that they were open was extremely suspicious, and frustrating when the price per bar is close to $3 that I had to throw a number of them away! I expected better from Amazon, but this is really unsanitary.

The bars all were melted at some time before I got them.  This makes the bar less tasty & creates these little pieces of chocolate that go everywhere when you open the bar, mainly on my lap (I eat in the car) and then I end up with melted chocolate on my clothes.  Really shows up on black pants.  I may end up paying more to buy locally so I don't have this problem.

I give these two stars for their nutritional value but I just can't give them any higher based on the taste and texture. In my opinion, the texture is a little harder and stickier than Quest bars (but smaller than Quest bars), and they have the same chemically/sweetener aftertaste. The only tolerable flavor in the variety pack was the cookie dough but even in that one, chunks of chocolate were crumbling off the exterior of the bar. I pay a comparable amount for other bars and won't be getting these again. My go-to bars remain Epic Bars, RXBars, and Rise Bars.

The "caramel" tastes like sawdust.  I remember when they were sweet and chewy.  The entire tin of almond kisses went straight into the garbage.  Save your money.  Total waste!

I bought Blue Diamond Natural Chocolate almonds before & 100% Natural almonds it was good but this one made me feel sick i only eat 10 for the day & i don't know if it's the salt or something else with this but i have to throw this away. i cant even move to workout im hoping i can sleep this off. but i guess im the 1 in 1 million that this happens to.

To call this a dessert spread is an embarrassment to dessert!

This is purely a nut butter made from pecans and almonds.  It has a very grainy texture, one I would expect for a typical nut butter.  It does separate in the jar, as most bought nut butters will (when I make almond butter myself, I do not see separation).

They didn't use roasted nuts to make this - that would have really improved the taste.  I think it's because they didn't use roasted nuts that the spread has a bit of a bitter after taste.

I can totally eat this on fruit or crackers or toast, but I feel misled because it's not sweet AT ALL!

There are a lot of nuts in this bag and they taste good.  Bought from Amazon and I didn't have any bad ones.  I ate on them for days until I got so sick of almonds that I threw the rest in the trash.  I probably had 80% of the bag left.  5 Stars

I seriously wonder if the "special" variety of almond really means "rejects". I have been making nut milks for a long time and there was no discernable difference in texture, thickness, nor creaminess. The quality of the nuts in both bags (I bought 2 at the same time) are very poor. About 75% of the bag is very thin, have little to none nut meat, and another 25-35% are dark brown meat and look unsafe to eat.

The almonds in my hand are the quality of half the bag. More skin than meat and LOTS of bad almonds. The other photo is a handful out of the bag. Nothing picked out or added. Zoom in to see the actual shapes and lack if meat. Generally all broken ones are dark brown inside.

I wouldn't buy these again even if they were $2. It's not worth the work and nut loss in sorting and still eating bad almonds because I didn't break every almond in half.
