 Healthy, yes. Easy to chew, no. Nov 12, 2007
By Rosemary Thornton
"Niece of Addie Hoyt Fargo (age 29)"
Like the previous reviewer, I also purchased these snack bars because they don't contain the usual bugaboos: high-fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, artificial sweeteners, etc. However, they're mighty hard to chew. And that's *probably* a good thing.
I'm a hardcore fan of Quaker Oats granola bars, because they're a quick snack and they're heavy-laden with sugar, but they also have the HFCS (bad, bad) and hydrogenated oils (bad, bad, BAD). However, they are easy to chew. I am striving to slowly back away from the QO granola bars because of their unhealthy and lengthy ingredient list.
The Kashi brand snacks are agreeable to the palate and they do have enough sugar for my personal tastes, but I have a couple crowns and I wonder if my over-priced prosthetic teeth can survive this healthy eating experience.
That being said, these are the snacks of choice for long car trips. For one, I'll never pig out on them and two, they're good for the tummy. They provide a little energy boost and they're high octane fuel for this four-layer bio-suit we call a human body.

 Beware expiration dates Jun 12, 2009
By Spottamus
I have purchased this product in stores before, so I knew I would like it and decided to buy a case. Everything was as expected, but the "Better if used before" date on the case and the individual boxes was February of 2006. Now, I realize that these things don't go bad quickly, but I still think selling something THREE AND A HALF YEARS after the "use by" date is unacceptable. I will hesitate to purchase more food items from Amazon.

Great taste, filling & healthy snack Jan 15, 2008
By C. A. Bunde
I keep a box of these in my office - where I might be prone to eat a whole bag of candy with mindless snacking. Instead, one of these Crunchy Kashi bars is the perfect mid-afternoon snack. Like the other reviewers, I am trying my best to avoid the high fructose corn syrup. They still have close to 200 calories (170 for the 2 bars in a package, I believe), so it's not a "free" food for dieters. It should be planned into the daily caloric intakes. Still, it is a far more filling and satisfying snack than most other 200-calorie expenditures. It's really great in keeping me from snacking while fixing the evening dinner. I agree they are crunchy, but not to the dental risk others have suggested. And I think they're yummy. The pumpkin and spice flavor are pretty subdued. For those that like a nutty, "natural" taste, try these.

Yummy Dec 15, 2008
By K. Weaver
I absolutely love them but this is not the reason I bought them. My dog will not eat anything else for breakfast but these bars. She is really picky and one morning I was eating one for breakfast and she sat next to me and shared one. Since then we have our special breakfast time together and she eats her bar and I have mine. It is so cute. They are delicious.

 Are you in for a mega-crunch? Sep 25, 2007
By Lila Klu
Kashi means it when they say crunchy: these granola bars definitely pack a big crunch--but a little too hard though, I think. Don't get me wrong, they taste great--pumpkin seeds, flax grains, and pumpkin-pie spices are a great flavor blend. I just worry about chipping a tooth eating these; they're unusually hard to bite down on and chew. At least that makes them take some time to eat, which helps with portion/appetite control. Tough texture aside, the ingredients don't raise any obvious red flags (no HFCS, hydrogenated oils, etc), and there's nothing heat sensitive about them, so I'll definitely keep them in mind when I need a small snack for the road.
