Nutri Grain Fruit & Nut Bars

WHAT: Nutri Grain Fruit & Nut Bars

STATS: Bars (sold in boxes of five) contain 150 calories and 6 fat, 20 carbohydrate, 3 fiber, 11 sugar and 4 protein grams. We found them at Kroger, 16105 Chenal Parkway, Little Rock. Visit nutrigrain.com.

THE SKINNY: We had way too many Halloween candy bars. So now it’s back to the healthier kind.

These new Nutri Grain snack bars don’t feature chocolate, caramel or nougat, but they do contain fruit and nuts and might satisfy a craving for something sweet, chewy and crunchy.

Flavors include Blueberry Almond and Cherry Almond. But based on their ingredients lists, they should both be called Peanut and Raisin.
