Buy Clif Bars at Amazon.com Taste: This bar was billed as containing almonds, peanuts, raisins and chocolate chips. However, peeling open the wrapper to see one side of the bar and consulting the ingredients, it looked like it was mostly made from soy rice crisps, mixed in with almonds, raisins, pretzels, pumpkin seeds and peanuts. I didn't see any chocolate chips at first, but there turned out to be a number of the visible on the opposite surface of the bar. The base taste of the bar was kind of gritty and not particularly appetizing. It did improve a bit when I bit into a raisin or chocolate chip, but the soy rice crisps were really this bar's undoing. The issue wasn't so much the sweet elements vs. the salty elements, but the gross ones vs. the edible ones. In this case, the gross ones won out.
