We read the ingredients on EVERYTHING, so we were really excited to find these. Lately I have become concerned about the amount of sugar in them (diet-and-exercise-controlled diabetic), so I limit myself to one a day. They have one advantage - they are incredibly portable. We often grab a couple if we're going on a car trip of more than an hour's duration, just in case we get hungry in the middle of nowhere. You can toss one into your knapsack or briefcase, keep 'em in your drawer at the office, etc. I don't know if they have any sort of "best before" date - they never last long enough in our house to find out. As regards the cost - if you can buy them by the case that does bring the cost down a bit. (A store near my work sells the bars for $2.99 each, but a case (of 16?) sells for $29.99.

They have one advantage – they are incredibly portable. We often grab a couple if we’re going on a car trip of more than an hour’s duration, just in case we get hungry in the middle of nowhere.

Will likely try the others. They’re dinky and a little on the pricey side, but I liked the ones I ate. Will likely try the others.

The first 2 ingredients in most of the bars are dates (like the larabar) and agave nectar (sugar). The rest of the ingredients look ok though. You could definitely do worse. I think I would stick to a handfull of nuts and berries or SoG bars like most of the commenters so far. Kat,

They've got a bit more ingredients, are raw and use some sweeteners like agave nectar but are less sugar overall than Larabars. My kids and I really like them. Anybody try these? What about Purebars?

All those bars taste really excessively sweet to me now. I've lost my taste for them and would rather get a pack of nuts. Looking forward to your recipe.
