Quaker True Delights-Dark Chocolate Raspberry Almond

Photobucket
This is another of the new Quaker True Delights line
I loved the first of the line that I tried so I have high hopes for this one.

This bar also has the lightly honey kissed oats which are nice and moist without being gooey. The almonds are stacked along the top of the bar and they're whole roasted almonds. The almonds are nice and crunchy and seem to be unsalted.
The chocolate comes in little chunks. The chocolate reminded me of wanna-be Toll House Morsels. They weren't quite as sweet as a Toll House and have a chalkier melt. I wouldn't eat it on it's own but in the bar it's ok.
The raspberries, are sadly not the larger pieces I was hoping for but are little specks of raspberry pieces. With that in mind it's hard to get any real sense of taste for them- other then the raspberry seems to come out more as an after taste.

This bar is okay. No where near the stellar bar that the Honey Roasted Cashew & Mixed Berry bar.

Quaker True Delights- Honey Roasted Cashew Mixed Berry Bar

Photobucket
True Delights is Quakers new line of calorie friendly (only 140 per bar!) and trans fat free granola bars
What I have found the last couple weeks is that calorie friendly and tasty tend to not like to intermingle- so I have really been on the lookout for something that breaks that rule.

The True Delights bar was nice and soft- I really hate the hard style bars- which was a big plus in my book. It has a nice sweet, honey like smell. The bar is full of crasins and dried cherries. I had been expecting the cashews to be little small broken up pieces but they are actually nice big halves. The oats in the granola are mixed with bits of puffed rice and they have just a hint of a vanilla finish.

This bar IS delightful! It was just one of those bars that I could easily replace candy with. I normally like my granola bars chocolate covered- but in this case that would be overkill. I have added these to the entirely too short list of diet friendly snacks that I love!

It's an 11!
