In a seemingly endless number of nutty snack bars, here’s one more. To the possible delight of many readers, if this one becomes a permanent resident on the ALDI shelves, this bar seems to be a variation of the very popular but short-lived Simple Nut Bar.
Without having a Simple Nut Bar present for a side-by-side comparison, this Roasted Nut Bar seems very similar. From memory, my preference would be the Simple Nut Bar. But I could easily live with this one. Like the Simple Nut Bar, this one is mostly nuts. Comparing the back of the boxes (see Simple Nut Bar box here), the ingredients are very similar. Both are products of Canada. That leads me to believe these are produced by the same company and are just variations of the product formula.
There’s a minimal amount of sticky binder to hold all the nuts together (almonds, peanuts and sunflower seeds). If you’re looking for sweet, or chocolate, this is not for you. As the bar is mostly nuts, it is hard and crunchy. For a snack food, this has a reasonably good nutrition mix. Of course, being mostly nuts, a high percent of the calories come from fat (most likely the nut oils). Carbohydrates are lower than many other snack bars. While not a high power protein bar, these do have an okay 6 g of protein. Calories 180 per bar Price $2.79 per box (6 bars in a box)
