Oskri Bars

The Oskri bars are thin, flat, crunchy bars that stick to your teeth. I picked one up a year or so ago because it was made with quinoa. The nutritional information is a little odd. There are 3 thin crunchy slices per package in the Quinoa bars and the Sesame bars. Some packages say a serving is 1 slice, some say it's all 3. Sometimes I eat all 3 slices, sometimes I share them with other people, or save a slice or two for later. Be ready to have this sticky bar stick to your teeth with whichever one of these you choose. I usually need to wash my fingers off after eating these too. It's a dry-sticky, not a gooey-sticky though. It's easy to draw out this snack since it takes some time to chew through, and there are 3 bars to get through.



Quinoa Bars:  I like the Quinoa bars the best. They are good, nothing fabulous, but I wouldn't hesitate to buy these, unless I was on my way to the dentist.

Sesame Bar with Date Syrup: I don't really like the Sesame Bar with Date Syrup. I think it's just the sesame flavor is too powerful for me. This is one of those items I've bought a few times because it sounds like something I would like. I love dates. But I just don't like this flavor that much.
