Just FYI, high quality chocolate should be very crunchy not chewy, shiny, aromatic and shouldn't stick at the top of your month - it melts like magic.. GOD DAMN IT .. NOW I NEED SOME CHOCOLATE!

And since dark chocolate is bitter, that's a lot less sugar and milk. I'm not saying it's not fattening at all, but definitely less...:) Oh and I've heard of recent studies suggesting moderate consumption of dark chocolate is actually beneficial for your health (for lowering blood pressure for example). Good news all around for this dark chocolate lover!

It's actually healthy, and has much less sugar, so less fattening! And it tastes sooo much better. How about you switch to dark chocolate?

They're healthier than chocolate but not very good for someone dieting. Yeah like Carlsb3rg says, these granola bars are full of calories and very high in carbs.

Calorie count = best diet. It might be healthy, and it might be natural, but read the amount of calories before you buy/eat.
