nature's bakery fig bars

I used to love Fig Newtons when I was a kid, and this continued into adulthood.  However, I rarely bought packages because I could inhale half the package in one sitting (yes, I have some self-control issues).  On a recent Costco trip, while lining up at the checkout counter, a box of these Nature's Bakery fig bars caught my eye.  I decided to give these a try.

Each box contains 24 packages (portion control!), which in turn, contain 2 fig bars apiece.  There were three flavours in the pack: fig (regular), raspberry, and blueberry.  All three flavours are of the whole wheat variety.  All flavours are cholesterol free, dairy free, and kosher. 

I love these bars so much more than Fig Newtons!  They are chewy, moist, filling, and not too sweet.  The whole wheat content adds in 2.5 grams of fiber in each little bar, which makes for a satisfying snack.  For the first little while, I was eating both bars in the package, but then realized that one serving is actually a single bar, or half the package.  Unfortunately, this is increasingly common for packaged foods, where the serving size is actually just a portion of the package it came in.  Deceiving, huh?

Buy again?  Yes, please!  ~C$8.99 for 24 x twin packs, Costco.
