Trader Joe's Soft Baked Drizzled Gingerbread Oat Bars: Despite the double-fisting polar bear on the packaging, each of these seasonal bars is individually wrapped. More similar to a soft baked cookie than a granola bar, they are moist and chewy, and while the icing feels unnecessary, it adds a festive touch. Spiced flavor contains molasses, ginger, and fig paste, along with your favorite wintery spices. A snack I would be happy to eat year round. 3.5/5.0

Nature's Path Envirokidz peanut butter choco crispy rice bars: This organic snack is like a less sugary Rice Krispie treat made with brown rice, flavored with roasted peanuts, and topped with a drizzle of chocolate. It's surprisingly filling and substantial for what it is, not a miniature snack bar like kids products tend to be. The brown rice has its characteristically strong flavor, which may be a surprise for those expecting a more neutral taste. 3.0/5.0

Annie's organic chocolate chip granola bars: These granola bars resemble rice crispie treats more than granola bars, with a sticky and somewhat gooey consistency and crispy rice. The bars are on the small size; suitable for a child's lunchbox, but not filling enough for an adult. Maybe I should have known from the bright purple packaging. 2.5/5.0

Trader Joe's rolled oats and peanut butter fiberful granola bars: Like most fiber bars, all semblance of healthfulness is masked in candy-bar coatings. This one has a chocolate base, drizzled chocolate, and a chewy peanut butter and oats foundation. Don't get me wrong: I'm not complaining. This candy bar that just so happens to have 9g of fiber is a filling snack to get you through your post-lunch hunger pang. 3.5/5.0

365 Organic Blueberry Vanilla granola bars: Chewy and sweet, and slightly reminiscent of a scented candle, make no mistake; this is a dessert in a bar. 3.0/5.0

Trader Joe's sweet, savory, and tart trail mix granola bars: A tangy, nutty, chewy combo with ingredients such as cranberries, chocolate chips, and peanuts. I like that the nuts are chopped and incorporated into the snack, so the texture is chewy rather than crunchy. A good mid-day snack. 3.5/5.0
