nuts about breakfast!

So these were on sale at the grocery store once.  It was a trap!  They haven't been on sale since, but I got hooked; they're delicious!  And healthy... I can even pronounce most of the ingredients!  But I repeat, though they're delicious... it's a trap*!  I keep buying them, even though they're not the cheapest option, because they're so tasty and satisfying, and just sweet enough that they go really well with my coffee for breakfast.  There are a bajillion flavors, and so far I've liked every one I try!  My favorites are the basic fruit & nut (shown below), the cranberry almond, and blueberry pecan.  I also think I had an awesome peanut butter and jelly bar once... but I haven't seen it in the store again, so maybe I made it up.  (FYI - the quickest way to my heart is through peanut butter and jelly.  Make note in case you need to get back into my good graces some day - pb&j just might be the key.  For some girls it's jewelry and fancy cars, but for me, I'm pretty sure food is the way to go.  Though I won't stop you from buying me jewelry if you should be so inclined... just saying it wouldn't hurt to make me a peanut butter and jelly sandwich too).

However, the other day I saw a cheaper, smaller, knock off brand in the super market, and decided to give it a shot.  Stop & Shop Nature's Promise, peanut butter flavor, from the organic aisle.  Even better list of ingredients, I could pronounce allllll of them! (reminds me of that old ice cream commercial).  The bar was a little smaller than the KIND bars, but also had lower fat and calories... so would be better as an anytime snack.  Not as many options in flavors, but still tasted pretty good, and less expensive!  I think perhaps I'll split my time between the 2 brands, so that I can afford to buy coffee sometimes...

* "trap" in spanish is "trampa", which always makes me imagine some tramp trapping a good man
