Even though the bars itself were a bit small (or maybe our stomachs are a bit too big these days?), we thought these Peanut Butter Chewy Coated & Drizzled Granola Bars were tasty.
They weren’t overly sweet, though the peanut butter used is definitely sweetened peanut butter (it’s much sweeter than typical PB). They also packed a good crunch and an even texture – thanks to the puffed rice. Plus, the granola/oatmeal made us feel like we were getting some added fiber.
But let’s be real, calling them “granola bars” seems like a bit of a misnomer. They are more of a healthy-ish treat. If you’re looking for a truly nutritious in-between-snack, these bars may not be for you. If you want an alternative to a candy bar – maybe.

Summary : We liked these granola bars, but would have liked a bit less sweet and a bit more nutrition. Overall a nice alternative to a candy bar.
I really like Trader Joe’s Peanut Butter Chewy Coated & Drizzled Granola Bars. I use to go several different Trader Joe’s throughout the years and always put them as a priority on my shopping list. It’s not real sweet and it’s grain content is pretty high, chewy and easy to eat. Since I moved to where there isn’t a Trader Joe’s, I try to buy them on line. I pay the mark up but it’s worth it.
