Nature Valley Crunchy Oats 'N Dark Chocolate Granola Bars - 12ct/8.94oz

One of my favorites. But there could be more cocoa, for a more chocolaty flavor. I know the price of cocoa is going up due to climate and disease in Africa cocoa growing areas, but please try. I can't see anyone objecting to more chocolate.

If the original nature valley granola bars weren’t yummy already the chocolate granola bars knock it out of the park! I bought them every time after when going on grocery runs. A must try for any chocolate lover.

Recipe change REALLY disappointing. Went from tasty & well-balanced to bland & soggy. Wouldn't know it was supposed to have chocolate in it except I used to buy them a lot. I won't anymore.

Tasty and super crunchy! Not too sweet. The packaging is convenient for on-the-go snacking, and they stay fresh for a long time. I also think they offer great value for the price.

Oats and Dark Chocolate Nature Valley Bars are very good. They are a great snack.

The taste is amazing the value is great it’s super fresh the texture is wonderful and the packaging is excellent I love it so much I highly recommend

This used to be my favorite granola bar! My comfort snack, if you will. However, like other customers have noticed, the formula has changed completely. There's no longer dark chocolate pieces and the crispy crunch has been softened. The change is so significant that I checked the wrapper and box to make sure I got the right flavor at the store. The new flavor is similar to the sugared nuts you get in a paper cone at the fair. This might be appealing to some people but it should be it's own separate flavor. And if the formula is changed, it should be advertised on the product!! That way customers can decide if they want to try something new. I'm very sad to have 2 boxes that I've opened to try and see if they were both the new formula. Also, this is the only Nature Valley product my family eats. So we'll be moving on to something else.

I’m really happy with my choice! The Nature Valley bar with dark chocolate flavor is absolutely delicious – rich, not too sweet, and perfectly crunchy. It’s a great snack to keep in my bag or enjoy with coffee. I’ll definitely be buying it again!

I tried these a couple of months ago when they were new on my grocery store's shelves. The chocolate flavor was reminiscent of children's cocoa pebble/crispy cereals, which was charming! These bars disappeared quickly, and now that they are back on shelves they just taste sweet but with barely any chocolate or cocoa. If it didn't have 'chocolate' in the name I wouldn't know that was the flavor.

Love how the dark chocolate and crunchy granola works together!!! Always go for multipacks as it's more value for money. Love the taste and freshness this product has to offer.

They are my family's favorites They eat them at every moment

It is really good. I dont taste any bitter taste of dark chocolate. I love this.

These were very dry, had no flavor, just bad over all. The chewy ones are much better. I wouldn’t choose to eat these unless it was all I had left in the bag.

I'd give zero stars if I could - recipe changed. I used to LOVE these. They were actually chicolate flavored tiny bites of chocolate. Now they are just like the regular oats ones. Very deceptive.

Perfect for an on the go snack. Tasted Great especially the chocolate bits that gave it a little bit of a different texture. Best enjoyed with a warm brew as can be a little dry.

I've purchased these bars for years. Now there are few if any chocolate pieces. Nature Valley just lost me as a customer.

Nature Valley Crunchy Oats & Dark Chocolate Bars are the perfect snack that combines the best of oats and dark chocolate. 🍫🌾 They are super crunchy with just the right amount of sweetness from the dark chocolate, which isn’t too sugary. I love that each bite gives me a satisfying energy boost, with a nice hearty texture from the oats. 🏃‍♀️ However, they can be a little greasy, and I find that they tend to crumble easily, so I have to be careful when eating them. Still, they are a great option for a quick, satisfying snack when I need a little pick-me-up between meals. 😊

My 4 year old has had one of these every morning for YEARS. She looks forward to her “chocolate go bar”, we have to make sure we are stocked at all times. One bite into the new recipe and she said “momma what happened?” I had a bite and we threw it in the trash. It tastes like nothing with a hint of fake sugar? You changed the recipe and now we have to find something else. We won’t be buying them again unless I hear you changed it back. Like everyone else, we’re disappointed.

I love this as a healthy snack, with slow release energy and not to sweet taste. I have it mid afternoon to get me between meals. Great crunch and easy to open packaging.

I'm disappointed too. I've been noticing that these aren't as satisfying as a morning snack as they used to be... um, my whole life! My mother bought these when I was a kid. She always got cinnamon which I can never find anymore. But beyond that... 1st I noticed that the wrapping now sucks! You can't open the granola bar without scissors! Anyone notice that? Just use paper, it's better for the environment anyway. Part of the unique thing about these bars and why you were so successful with them for so long was the crunchiness... so who cares that they were "Too hard" before. People bought them and ate them anyway because they were so good and with few ingredients. NOW for TASTE >> Eeeeewh! What is that Chemical situation going on in these bars!!??? I feel like I just ate something bad for me. Is that aspartain? Idk how to spell that. Anyway.... bring back everything that they used to be or that's definitely my last box I'll ever buy. How do you screw up a granola peanut butter bar that's been successful for decades? And the chocolate one too.... No pieces anymore? And where are all of the Cinnamon ones? Thank you
