My Thoughts: These bars are perfect treats for post or pre workouts. They have wonderful texture of chewiness. The only complaint I had was that they were sticking so much to the wrapper. Also, they were little bit too sweet for my tastebuds. I don’t think extra addition of brown sugar or dehydrated cane juice were really necessary since they were packed with wonderful dried fruits!
