These Nature Valley granola bars have been around for a while but I've never tried the "Crunchy & More" versions. There are two varieties: Oats & Berries and Oats & Hazelnuts. There was no contest between those two for which one I wanted to try - Hazelnuts is always going to be the clear winner!
I often buy the Nature Valley Oats & Honey bars for my husband and he is more of a fan of them than I am. I find them quite hard in texture due to the densely packed oats, I generally prefer cereal bars that are chewy. However I do love hazelnuts so I willingly gave these Oats & Hazelnuts a try.
Each box has five individually wrapped portions and there are two bars in a pack.
These "granola" bars are packed full of wholegrain oats and hazelnut pieces. The added nuts give these bars an extra crunchy texture and an even more delicious flavor. The hazelnuts are delicious and full of flavour, giving these bars quite an indulgent feel.
They have a lot more calories than the cereal bars I usually feature but they do have the benefit of being lactose free and suitable for vegetarians. Have you tried the Nature Valley Oats & Hazelnut? Let me know what you thought of them by leaving a comment below.
