Quaker True Delights Dark Chocolate & Raspberry Granola Bars —

I like both dark chocolate and raspberries which I called "rahz - buries" (and slow) as a child which inclined the family to get me to say that and to laugh even years later.

Quaker True Delights in dark chocolate and raspberries seemed a logical choice. After, the flavors are right in my taste-bud palate.

These snack bars are chunky with oats and almonds as well as the raspberries and chocolate. In fact, I'm suprised Quaker could bind so much stuff and keep it together.

As far as flavor, the True Delight bars are OK. They aren't great. They aren't bad.

The main taste I got was oats followed by the big pieces of almonds. Fortunately, I like both those flavors too. The selling point would be chocolate and raspberries, and I could only pick up a little of that. Had I been blindfolded, I don't know that I would have guessed those.

The chocolate, in particular, I'm sure adds more calories. I'm thinking these run around 140 calories per bar. Since I did not really notice the chocolate, I could do without that and save up calories for a real splurge that I could actually taste.

In terms of snack or energy bars, I'd called these average. They are a tad dry and really chunky clunky. The taste was fine too but not anything that made me get excited or delighted.

They may not be marketed as energy bars (-: I just call them all that. Good pick up but ought to be for that many calories. I could have had a Snickers or something I really love.

I tried the Banana Coconut Macadamia variety of these bars and they were...something else lol. The chunks of coconut were too big, and there was banana flavoring but no actual banana. I think I paid around 3.50 for these which was a rip off, and when I saw the calories (yowsah!) I felt guilt! I usually indulge in the 90 calorie Quaker bars so that alone was reason enough not to get them again. I don't think they're energy bars though, are they? I don't remember reading about any B vitamins or ginseng in the ingredients, but I could be wrong. I enjoy your reviews Cyndi, you are so fair and balanced!
