It is hard to call this a healthy protein bar, since it looks like a snickers bar from the wrapper, except it just feels heavier. When you open the wrapper and break off a piece, it comes apart slowly and has the inside look of a very dense candy bar. Taste is great. Just chew it slowly and in small bites, since it is so dense.

The label claims 30g Protein, New & Improved, Now, with More Nuts!, and Thicker and More Delicious. I have never had one of these before, so cannot vouch for the labels accuracy. But it is definitely a protein bar packed thickly and with nuts. So the look, smell and taste are all there, how about the nutritional information? 330 calories, compared to 280 for a regular SNICKERS candy bar, but 30g of protein compared to 4g from the candy bar. It has the taste and texture of the candy bar, looks and smells like one, and is a tad higher in calories, but packs a wallop of protein.
