April 29: Sunbutter Crunch Snack Bars

My wife picked up a box of these snack bars at Whole Foods Market during our last shopping trip. I'm always willing to give this "natural" food stuff a try; mostly because I make a point not to pay too much attention to the ingredients. It's just easier if I go by taste alone as opposed to thinking about what the food is actually made from. I jest, to some degree, but the thought of a snack bar not loaded with sugar and preservatives doesn't really tempt my appetite all that much. Or, didn't used to I should say. Anyway, these Sunbutter Crunch bars, made by Enjoy Life Foods, were quite good; even though the primary ingredients are sunflower seed butter and rice crisp. Mmm, yummy! Much like its product description, the bars do have a definite "nutty" flavor - they actually tasted a lot like peanut butter. And, they have 3 other flavors to choose from. So, if you're in the mood to replace your current Quaker or Nature Valley varieties with a more natural alternative, I recommend the Enjoy Life Foods snack bars as a starting place.
