Kashi's Dark Chocolate Coconut Layered Granola Bars provide a chewy granola bar featuring the brand's trademark blend of seven whole grains with a layer of dark chocolate mixed with dates, topped with dried coconut and peanuts.
A
6.7-ounce box of six 1.1-ounce bars retails for about $3.89.
As far as granola bars go, the granola portion of this one tastes fairly run-of-the-mill and like most chewy granola I've eaten. It's decent but not very interesting.
The interesting part is the dark chocolate-date layer. It offers hints of each ingredient, but the richness of neither. The texture is smooth, but not chocolate smooth. Instead, it's a little gummy like a date paste. It's a novel flavor, but I would have preferred just plain dark chocolate.
The coconut flakes add a welcome and fairly prominent component for fans of Mounds or Almond Joy, but isn't nearly as sweet. The peanuts add a little extra flavor and crunch.
Overall, the coconut flakes and the dark chocolate-date layer keep Kashi's Dark Chocolate Coconut Layered Granola Bars from being ho-hum, but not by much.
