There are two foods that I obsessively enjoy.  One is salted cashews, and the other is oatmeal.  Any product that combines both cashews and oatmeal is a must-try snack for me.  Every morning, I'm munching on a cereal that is either made of oat flakes or contains granola oat clusters.  Every evening, I'm snacking on a handful of cashews mixed with Craisins.  So that just goes to show you how much I looked forward to trying the Quaker Simple Harvest Multigrain Chewy Granola Bar - Honey Roasted Nut flavor.

In a nutshell, this all natural granola bar is made from oat, wheat, and barley, along with crisp rice, cashews, peanuts, pecans, molasses and honey.  At 160 calories per bar (60 calories from fat), it's not the healthiest snack you can eat, but it's better than consuming a Snickers bar, or a square of fudge brownie with walnuts (another favorite of mine).

The taste was not monumental by any means, but it was satisfying with a full flavor.  I enjoyed the combination of the sweetness with the saltiness of the nuts.  It wasn't a moist bar, but it wasn't too dry for me either.  I thought it had a flavorful and satisfying taste, a nice chewy texture, and an interesting blend of ingredients.

Overall, Quaker Simple Harvest Multigrain Chewy Granola Bar is a snack that I would definitely purchase again.  If you enjoy the taste of all-natural granola, this is good product to satisfy your sweet tooth.  It may be a little too salty for some, but because I do love cashews, pecans, and peanuts, I found that the salt content didn't bother me at all.

I LOVE cashews. In fact, my husband has a can in the car right now. I have to make him keep it out there because I won't stop eating them. I swear, I just keep going until I feel sick. They are one of about three things that I could eat obsessively. I like anything with cashews in them too.
