We just bought a big box of Nature Valley crunchy oats and honey bars expecting the normal great tasting granola bars only to be completely disappointed. They taste weird, like a fake chemical sweet flavor that came out of a chemical factory and is attempting to mimic honey flavor but failing miserably. They have lost their yummy flavor and the toasty crunch, and with that, have also lost the customers in this household. They just aren’t good now. To add insult to injury, they suffer from shrinkflation which is almost a good thing since there is now much less bar in each package to suffer through. If I ever see a box labeled “original recipe” maybe I’ll give them another try but until then, R.I.P. Nature Valley granola bars.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These bars taste really good and can hold you over a while if you have a while before you can eat a meal. Nutritionally speaking, they’re a little low of protein for my preference but hey, they’re only a snack and they’re made of granola right? I like how they have no chocolate or marshmallow or anything that gets goopy and melted in the car or in my purse if I’m gone for hours with my kids. One down side is that they are quite crumbly. They’re hard but once you bit in they sure break up and get crummy all over. But taste, price, and convenience are A+

Nature Valley granola bars, crunchy oats and honey, are my little boys favorite snack to share with each other. Our drive home from their school is roughly 45 minutes and these bars allow them to have a light snack without overdoing it before dinner. A must have in my mommy purse!

I have purchased these bars regularly for years now, but I simply won't anymore. I see where others have had the same complaint and while I don't know for sure -- but I do know by taste -- that the recipe was changed and they simply aren't worth buying. Not only is the taste dramatically worse, it also leaves a powdery residue in your mouth. Let me know when you switch back to the better/original recipe!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy, on the go snack. Tastes great and saves for a long time, doesn’t melt and is just as good in a bar or broken up if it’s been tossed in a bag, definitely don’t recommend giving to kids, they make a huge mess, but they taste great and are a huge hit in our house

I've acquired a taste for granola bars and really like these. Some mornings when I want a little something, I'll grab one of these because its simple, has good flavor, and gets the job done since I'm not a huge breakfast person. I love the crunchy aspect of it, too, lovely texture!

Until recently, these were our favorite snack that was always in our cupboard. Unfortunately, I read the label and found a significant change: "contains a bioengineered ingredient." What a disappointment to find out that this once healthful snack is a GMO product. I won't be buying these anymore until it's changed to certified Non-GMO. I would gladly pay more.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My husband and I really like to have these granola bars handy, and I purchase them regularly for that reason. They are easy to grab when there's no time to have an actual meal. They taste great too, but can be somewhat messy crumb-wise! Even tho', I recommend them for a treat that is satisfying and can stave off hunger.

recipe change made these taste disgusting. i have eaten these for breakfast every day for many years and will no longer buy them. also, it appears they shrunk the product but not the individual package. whats next, you going to put 1 less in each box and see if anyone notices?

I am completely disappointed with the quality of my once favorite snack food. Yes, it's obvious these bars have decreased in size but in quality as well. This is the 3rd box in a row that I have purchased since June of 2022 in which the bars have been completely crumbled upon opening with little to bite and actually enjoy. I am sad to say that I will no longer be purchasing this product. What happened with your quality?
