Kind Nut & Spice Bar Dark Chocolate Cinnamon Pecan 40 g (Pack of 12)

The product itself (KIND Bars, Dark Chocolate Cinnamon Pecan,...) is fine. Freshness..not there.I bought same product from Amazon and from a big box club within a week of each other.While both were within the best by date(club: Mar2017 ; Amzn: Oct2016), the ones from Amazon were stale stale stale..!!You can buy one locally and online to compare if desired, but I'd recommend spending a little more more and going local if taste is important to you.

I've had these before from the grocery store and they were pretty good, so I ordered them on here. I did notice a quality difference between these and from the grocery store; these were harder and crunchier, like they were on the border of being stale. I'm fine with that; the price is much much better than the grocery store, they tasted the same, and they hit the I'm-hungry-but-can't-eat-now spot. I ordered them again and will probably continue to order them in the future.

I got a free sample of this bar in this particular flavor from a local store. I often take a granola bar and cheese stick with me as portable lunch when I'm on the go most of the day. This bar impressed me because I can really taste the dark chocolate, which is very good, and the cinnamon provides an interesting second dimension of flavor. The pecans are not a major feature of the bar, but the texture is just right: chewy with a bit of soft crunch. At 5 g of sugar per bar, it doesn't blow my calorie budget, and with Amazon Subscribe & Save, the price comes in a third below the local store. This is a keeper.

I have been eating Kind bars for a while and like them as a mid-morning snack, so I tried ordering them from Amazon at times when the price is good. I noticed that Amazon will immediately raise the price on your next order if you buy the same thing, so I would switch between different flavors. The problem is that they too often arrive in bad condition; it's obvious that the chocolate melted and then rehardened somewhere along the line, often being stuck to the wrapper. So I have gone back to buying them at the supermarket.

I love the taste of this bar and at 5 grams of sugar... its makes me happy i'm not consuming so much sugar. I use this bar for hikes and it provides lots of energy and calories ( 190 or 200 I believe). It's a great energy booster but I wouldn't eat it as a snack unless I need the energy. I'm a calorie counter person, so at 200 calories, eat it with caution if you are watching your weight. The taste is great and the price is great on amazon. I tried buying this at Target, and for some flavor it's more affordable and some less. Do a price search before you buy.... because this can get pricey. If you can get each bar for 1 buck each, then it's a good price...
