I have never tried those. I don't think I have heard of them before. Are the good? Are there just certain stores that sell them? I like the Skinny Cow treats and Atkins bars for my sugar "treat". Thanks for mentioning those. I will keep a look out for those.

Yes, they are great. ALL Natural.Really.
You can find them in any LARGE Chain grocery store as well as health food stores. Starbucks has them also.
My suggestion woud be to search online (Amazon link>>>>) and buy a box of 12 for about $15. That is, after you've tried one first.
They have "mini's" as well but I get the full sized bar. You'll like them.
This link will list the different flavors: FLAVORS.
I eat KIND bars all the time. They are a "go-to" for me when I travel. We buy a box or two and have them in the house.
I actually sat next to a KIND representative on a plane a few weeks ago. She gave me some free samples of new bars and they were so good. They have been doing market research and plan to have smaller bars that act as desserts. I tried one, it was amazing. They have even gone as far as working to pair them with beers and wines. Interesting concept.
No, most of those bars are basically junk food. Some of them have nutritionals comparable to a frickin' Snickers bar (those peanuts really add protein) and if you're going to waste 280 calories on junk food, might as well go for a Snickers. They're cheaper.
Not all bars are junk, but Kind bars are. Pure. Junk.
I checked out some of the ingredients lists on their main website.
Peanutbutter Dark Chocolate + protein:
Contains no peanutbutter, and contains no dark chocolate.
It does contain peanuts, and cocoa powder blended with palm kernel oil. But neither constitutes the former. This bar also is 60% fat (total 200 calories, 120 of them is fat)
Almond Walnut Macadamia with Peanuts:
Should be called Peanuts with Almond Walnut Macadamia; Peanuts is the first ingredient. Their nutritional info bar is also missing most of the ingredients; it cuts off at a comma.
Another 60% fat product.
Almond Cashew + Flax (Omega-3)
Assuming the ingredients list is complete (and from seeing the obviously incomplete one above, I'm now skeptical), this one should rightly be called Dates, Almond, Cashew. The flax amount in this product is inconsequential. This variety is "only" 50% fat.
The miniature Cranberry Almonst + Antioxidants:
115 calories total, with 69% of it fat. That's almost 80% of the calories from fat. Probably because instead of just plain dried cranberries, they've rolled those cranberries in sugar and sunflower oil. The upside of this one: they've used real actua honey, instead of "NonGMO glucose" which is - basically grape sugar, the stuff that kills, the ingredient most likely to contribute to diabetes and/or sugar shock.
I think a previous poster had the right idea - if you really want a snack bar, go for the Snickers. At least they don't lie and pretend to be healthful.
