The Peanut Crunch contains only peanuts, sunflower seeds, sugar, corn syrup, salt, and almond flour.  The Almond Crunch consists of only almonds, peanuts, sunflower seeds, sugar, corn syrup, and salt.  <\/p>\n<p>If you read carefully over the ingredients, you probably noticed that the ingredients for both flavors are almost identical and because of this, both flavors also taste very similar.  Each one tasted kind of like honey roasted peanuts, so if you blindfolded me and had a <strike>hunky, strong fireman<\/strike> gorgeous, curvy female flight attendant straddle me and feed me each flavor, I probably wouldn&#8217;t be able to tell them apart.<\/p>\n<p><center><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/images\/nutcrunch2.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Because they&#8217;re made out of nuts, these bars have a good crunch to them, but because everything is being held together with just the tasty adhesives of corn syrup and sugar, they&#8217;re kind of fragile.  So if I stick it in my <strike>fanny pack<\/strike> laptop messenger bag, it will probably break into several pieces as I walk from my car to the office.  If it does break, be very careful when opening the foil packaging because nuts will drop. <\/p>\n<p>Overall, I liked the Nature Valley Roasted Nut Crunch Bars.  They&#8217;re tasty, contain healthy fats (polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats), and each bar has seven grams of protein, which helps if I want to build muscles without going on &#8220;the juice&#8221; so that I can perhaps one day be a sweaty, chiseled beefcake working on my fine, defined, Zeus-like body at Muscle Beach in a spandex bodysuit that hugs every hump and lump on me.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 1 bar (varies per flavor) &#8211; 190 to 200 calories, 12 to 14 grams of fat, 1.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams trans fat, 0.5 to 2.5 grams of polyunsaturated fat, 10 grams of monounsaturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 170 to 180 milligrams of sodium, 11 to 14 grams of carbs, 2 grams of dietary fiber, 6 to 7 grams of sugar, 7 grams of protein, and more nuts than a NFL locker room.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><small>(Editor&#8217;s Note:  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bloglander.com\/cheapeats\/2007\/10\/03\/nature-valley-nut-crunch\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cheap Eats<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.78west.com\/wordpress\/?p=213\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Message Whore<\/a> also reviewed the Nature Valley Roasted Nut Crunch. which means I know of three pairs of  nuts who reviewed these nuts.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b>  Nature Valley Roasted Nut Crunch Bars<br \/>\n<b>Price:<\/b>  FREE (Retails for $3.39)<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b>  Received from nice PR folks<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b>  3 out of 5<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b>  Tastes like honey roasted peanuts.
