Review: Nature Valley Sweet & Spicy Chili Dark Chocolate Bars

I've been getting a lot of products from Marsh recently in the clearance section.  I don't think it is because the products are terrible but instead because Marsh has a real problem controlling their expiration dates and keeping food fresh.  So, I guess I bring this up because you should just ignore the clearance sticker on these products going forward and instead focus on the product itself.  Today, I'm adding to my Nature Valley review collection with this review of a box of six Nature Valley Sweet & Spicy Chili Dark Chocolate Bars.  Each bar in the box is 1.24 ounces and has 160 calories with three grams of protein.

Review: Balance Bar Bare Sweet & Spicy Nut Bar

Food manufacturing is like one big game of follow the leader.  Everyone copies everyone's ideas and it's just a vicious circle.  You make a non-coated bar, I make a non-coated bar.  You make a Greek yogurt bar, I make a Greek yogurt bar.  You make a savory bar, I make a savory bar.  Anyway,  you get the picture.  That's why it should come as no surprise that today's review subject is another bar in the line of another one of those trends...non-coated savory bars.  I've looked at varieties from other manufacturers previously, but today adds to the Balance Bar review catalog as I take a look at their version with this review of the Balance Bar Bare Sweet & Spicy Nut Bar that I was able to pick up at Meijer for $1.00.  Each bar is 1.19 ounces and has 160 calories and four grams of protein.  It's also gluten, soy and dairy free.
