But unlike the cookies, the bars look the same going into the oven as they do coming out of the oven. <\/p>\n<p>There are two varieties available Chocolate Chip with Toasted Oats and Cranberry Walnut with Dark Chocolate. <\/p>\n<p><h3>Chocolate Chip with Toasted Oats<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Nestle-Toll-House-Simply-Delicious-Chocolate-Chip-with-Toasted-Oats-Snack-Bar-Dough.jpg?resize=450%2C626&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Nestle Toll House Simply Delicious Chocolate Chip with Toasted Oats Snack Bar Dough\" title=\"Nestle Toll House Simply Delicious Chocolate Chip with Toasted Oats Snack Bar Dough.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"450\" height=\"626\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you like chocolate, this is the one you should get. Yes, the other one has dark chocolate, but with this one, the semi-sweet morsels stand out in every bite. To be honest, this tastes and feels exactly like a chocolate chip oatmeal cookie. The 5-Grain &#038; Seed Blend (which by the way is made up of barley, wheat, brown flax seed, quinoa seed, and sunflower seeds) doesn\u2019t seem to enhance or diminish the bars\u2019 flavor.<\/p>\n<p>The instructions say to let them cool completely before consuming, but the smell of chocolate chips in the air is an aroma that tests my patience. Because I have don\u2019t have strong willpower, I tried one after about 5 minutes of cooling down. The underside of the bar has a slight crispiness, and so do the rolled oats on top. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Nestle-Toll-House-Simply-Delicious-Chocolate-Chip-with-Toasted-Oats-Snack-Bar-Dough-2.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Nestle Toll House Simply Delicious Chocolate Chip with Toasted Oats Snack Bar Dough 2\" title=\"Nestle Toll House Simply Delicious Chocolate Chip with Toasted Oats Snack Bar Dough 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But the bar in this warmed up state is super soft. So much so that I wondered if they were fully baked. I\u2019m sure they were, but the bar\u2019s thickness and seeing the \u201cDo not eat raw snack bar dough\u201d gets me a little paranoid. Letting them cool down completely made them chewier, so I guess I should learn patience. I also noticed eating them made my mouth dry. Maybe the oats are soaking up my saliva?<\/p>\n<p>But, again, they taste and feel like chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. So if you\u2019re a fan of those, you\u2019ll like these, but might I recommend eating them with milk.<\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $5.99<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 14 oz. package (makes 10 bars)<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Safeway<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<b> Nutrition Facts:<\/b> (1 bar) 170 calories, 7 grams of fat, 3 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 10 milligrams of cholesterol, 120 milligrams of sodium, 23 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 9 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of protein.<\/p>\n<p><h3>Cranberry Walnut with Dark Chocolate<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Nestle-Toll-House-Simply-Delicious-Cranberry-Walnut-with-Dark-Chocolate-Snack-Bar-Dough.jpg?resize=450%2C628&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Nestle Toll House Simply Delicious Cranberry Walnut with Dark Chocolate Snack Bar Dough\" title=\"Nestle Toll House Simply Delicious Cranberry Walnut with Dark Chocolate Snack Bar Dough.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"450\" height=\"628\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you like chopped walnuts on your floor, then this is the one you should get. Unlike the oats with the other variety, the nuts fell off the bars anytime I moved them. To make the photos in this review look less balding, I had to transplant a lot of walnut bits back onto the bars.<\/p>\n<p>When I opened the oven door to pull them out, a sweet cinnamon aroma came wafting out. Oddly, the spice is not an ingredient. Much like the other variety, they do taste cookie-like, but it\u2019s also less exciting because no flavors stand out. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Nestle-Toll-House-Simply-Delicious-Snack-Bar-Dough-Cranberry-Walnut-with-Dark-Chocolate-2.jpg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Nestle Toll House Simply Delicious Snack Bar Dough Cranberry Walnut with Dark Chocolate 2\" title=\"Nestle Toll House Simply Delicious Snack Bar Dough Cranberry Walnut with Dark Chocolate 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The walnuts, if they don\u2019t fall off, give a nutty flavor that\u2019s hard to detect most of the time and a nice crunch. The sweetened dried cranberries are bland. As for the dark chocolate morsels, I don\u2019t taste chocolate in every bite as I do with the other variety. But when I do taste them, they don\u2019t have enough of a punch to satisfy my sweet tooth. <\/p>\n<p>But, this one didn\u2019t make my mouth dry. So that\u2019s a plus. But if you care more about flavor than oral dryness, go with the Chocolate Chip with Toasted Oats one instead.<\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $5.99<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 14 oz. package (makes 10 bars)<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Safeway<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 5 out of 10<br \/>\n<b> Nutrition Facts:<\/b> (1 bar) 170 calories, 8 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 10 milligrams of cholesterol, 115 milligrams of sodium, 22 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of fiber, 9 grams of sugar, and 3 grams of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When first looked at Nestle Toll House\u2019s Simply Delicious Snack Bar Dough and saw it\u2019s made with a \u201c5-Grain and Seed Blend,\u201d my first thought was, \u201cSo, um, Nestle is making bird treats now?\u201d But after scanning the packaging like a hawk, I learned the snack bar dough is not for birds.
