Quaker Oats says: Quaker® Sweet & Salty Crunch Granola Bars are the wholesome sweet & salty bar that will satisfy your cravings. Enjoy flavor combinations like the sweetness of honey combined with the crunch of salty nuts and toasted oats!

Abi says: I bought a set of three Quaker Crunch Granola bars because they were on sale. I prefer my granola bars chewy and when a granola bar has “Crunch” in its name, I do not expect my teeth to have a fine time. These bars are not well-balanced in their sweet and salty duality. The ’sweet’ definitely takes over the entire bar experience, overpowering any potential nutty savoriness with a quick kick of sugar and corn syrup.

First Five Ingredients:

• Whole grain rolled oats
• Sugar
• Crisp Rice (rice flour, sugar, salt, dextrose, corn syrup solids, malted barley flour)
• Corn Syrup
• Cashew Splits

The Verdict: Honey comes after sugar, corn syrup, and artificial flavors on the ingredients list. Yikes! We’ll be looking to satisfy our sweet and salty cravings elsewhere.
