A recent Tweet of mine: “I’ve forgotten my keys, I’ve forgotten my textbooks, I’ve even forgotten my wallet… But I’ve never forgotten my emergency snack. #priorities”
So does this Rhubarb and Custard Nakd bar deserve to be an emergency snack? Well, it was in my bag yesterday during class when I went from neutral to ravenous in like five seconds, so I got a chance to find out.
Full disclosure: I’ve never tried rhubarb. However, I’m not sure that was a complication, because there isn’t any rhubarb in this! Odd…
Unlike a lot of date and nut bars, this wasn’t oily, which I liked. It was reasonably firm, which I also liked, and broke off into decently-sized chunks without any crumblage. Despite the apparent-to-the-eye cashew flecks, the bar had a really even consistency in my mouth.
But it was sweet–really sweet, and I’m usually one of those people who thinks “too sweet” is an oxymoron. Maybe there are one too many dates in this flavor, because I found it overwhelming. This also didn’t have a distinctly fruity taste–I mainly picked up on the sugar and the nuts.
