    I can no longer find this flavor in the stores. I live in Baltimore, MD and have always purchased this in Wegmans. It seems as if they no longer carry this flavor of this product and I don’t know where else to look.

    How disappointing!
    I only just discovered this website and my palate was piqued by the reference to the healthy-sounding layered granola bars and when i peeked inside the ad and noticed pumpkin pecan was one of the three flavors it was the one of the three that grabbed my interest the MOST!!! (Although, all three sound appetizing…)

    I just called Kashi customer service and was told that Kashi would has discontinued their Pumpkin Pecan Layered Granola Bars! They stopped making them this month! I can’t believe it. They are so good! If Kashi hears from enough people maybe they will start making them again.

    I sent an email to Kashi.com on June 6, 2012 requesting feedback and information regarding Kashi’s use of brown rice syrup in light of the recent study linking brown rice syrup and arsenic (http://www.environmentalleader.com/2012/02/21/study-organic-rice-syrup-linked-to-high-arsenic-baby-formula/).

    I have not yet received a reponse. Has Kashi looked into whether the brown rice syrup used in so many of their products is unwittingly adding arsenic? Does the fact that the brown rice syrup used by Kashi is not organic make a difference? I generally consume at least one Kashi product per day, but as the mother of a 17 month-old I would like answers to these questions before I feed her Kashi products that contain brown rice syrup. Thanks.

    I just purchased these to snack on at work and they are delicious. I’m pretty picky about the snacks I eat since it needs to carb my appetite in between meals and this snack was very satisfying! I feel like I finally found something that is good for me and tastes good too.

    Grain base by itself had a good hearty grain taste, while the gel/paste has a great peanut butter-chocolate hybrid taste—can really taste both, rather than a sweet mess as is all too often the case with attempts at PB and chocolate flavors. Pretty good.

    The granola part of this wasn’t all that bad, but it’s not something I much prefer either. I don’t like the chocolate on it at all. The big pieces of nuts on the top threw me off and were hard on my teeth. My boyfriend also tried this with me and also didn’t like it.

    The peanut butter flavor was strong and my family and I are not a fan of dark chocolate. We took the two bite challenge. This doesn’t mean we don’t love some of the other products though! I especially love Kashi crackers, but it is difficult to find any of the products in my local grocery stores.

    I am so sorry Kashi! I really didn’t like the chocolate covering — it’s much more like molasses, but with a strange aftertaste. The texture was gooey and not appetizing to me. The chunks of chocolate were an afterthought and I can’t remember the peanuts standing out. I don’t think I’ll be buying these with the coupon that came with the 2-bite test.

    Honestly, I was disappointed with these. It’s not like they were bad persay, but they weren’t great. The granola part was okay, but I thought the chocolate had a weird texture; it was kind of gooey, almost rubbery. Although I’ll finish the box without a complaint, I probably won’t be buying these again.

    I picked this out just because it looked good, not because I was necessarily looking for a healthier granola/snack bar. I took my first bite and was pleased as my teeth sunk into the rich, ganache-like chocolate layer. My pleasure stopped when I reached the granola bar part. I found it almost impossible to bite threw. It actually felt like I might break a tooth if I was too agressive biting through the granola. I don’t know if the package I bought is a fluke or if they are all like this, but I certainly will NOT be buying this again.

    I agree with Susiebell and Russman. As a mom, teacher, and life long weight fighter I don’t see why the granola/breakfast/snack bar industry can’t give us a really healthy bar. Just today on the news it said a breakfast high in protein and fiber helps you to not be hungry or crave sweets and helps you watch your weight. Evening News on ABC/Aug 10/11. My diet is telling me to find nutrition bars with 9 grams of protein, low in sugar and fat.

    1. User_48
      itzjustafad over 1 year ago

      It is good to start your day off with as much protein and fiber as you can. It not only prevents you from snacking throughout the day, but also you can sneak most of your RDA amounts of protein and fiber just by eating breakfast! Easy! Plus, having a good balance of protein and fiber helps your body metabolize fat and burn extra calories! : )

    I have to agree with Russman. Stevia must replace all the sugar. Too much sugar/carbs then FAT, plus the amount of calories. All this makes for a not-so-good “healthy” snack for child or adult.

    PLEASE make your snacks where more people can eat them. Totally bad for diabetics!

    Russman commented on this. almost 2 years ago

    Kashi is definitely a leader in providing true “whole grain” products and has more to offer than anyone in the industry! Stevia has to become a staple ingredient to make true, pure healthy products though. This is a great alternative to a candy bary, but not so healthy, having 7 grams of sugar, where a large part of the carbs are coming from. This is low considering the industry, but high when the RDA is 0 grams. There are 6 different sources of sugar, in their various names in this one bar and sabotages healthy weight goals and the healthy carbs it is made from.

    1. User_48
      itzjustafad over 1 year ago

      Hi Russman!

      Being a nutritionist, I can tell you that the RDA of sugar consumption is 16g per k/cal. This is all “added” sugar. The body recognizes sugar as….sugar. Yes, sugar is sugar is sugar, but as long as you are consuming natural sources of sugar in small amounts, you should be considerably healthy, and are doing your body a favor! ; )

    I’m a diabetic, and would eat only 1/2 of 1 bar per sitting due to the carbohydrate count. Seven grams of sugar is to much for me to consider a healthy snack for diabetics, even though the fiber, and protein, contents are good. Can you make a line of Kashi products that are more diabetic friendly?

      itzjustafad over 1 year ago

      Atkins is not a great diet to choose. Yes, Atkins has low sugar, but the sugar is replaced with “sugar alcohol”. This can be as dangerous as table or other added sugars. Sugar alcohols create stomach bloat and other problems with the digestive system. Also, Atkins has the low carb content. Your body needs carbs! This is our energy! Eat 48 g of whole grains a day. 3 servings a day. (Serving: 1 oz. each./ 1 oz. = 1 slice of bread, 1 cup of cereal, 1/2 c. cooked rice, etc.) Eat your natural sugars and whole grains and your good to go! : )
