Peak Bar - Organic Brownie Review

In my  quest to find a chocolate snack that's not too high in fat, and is actually sorta, kinda good for me, I bought one of Peak Bar's Organic Chocolate Brownies. The label calls it a "Women's Health" product, and describes it as "bakery style." I have no idea what makes this product one geared towards women and, unless they're referring to mud bricks dried in a kiln, I can't imagine a bakery serving anything of this particular "style."  In fact, the more I think about it, the more I realize this product has a lot in common with masonry: it certainly looks like a mud brick. It has a texture that is not unlike very dry soil. The flavor is what I'd imagine I'd experience if I licked an adobe house. The pale, brown color is less like chocolate and more like desert sand or worse: camel dung.

This is not the worst of the supposedly chocolate snack bars I've had, but it's far from good. In fact, I'm not really sure it qualifies as a food product, at all. Behind the  dry, dirty texture and flavor, there's a hint of fruit (maybe raisin), which keeps it from being 100% unpleasant. So...maybe 98% unpleasant-tasting?

It this product's corner: it's low in fat and high in fiber. (Big deal - so is a broom!) It's also organic (nice try, no cigar.)
