Curate snack bar, Dark and Tempting flavor This snack bar has a nutty scent, is dasrk brown and resembles oats.  It tastes like fig, then nutty.  You also get a semi sweet citrus taste.  The bar is soft and chewy.  I didn't like the taste; this would not be a snack that I would reach for regularly.  However it is good for the health-conscious.
