granola bars
Chewy trail snacks
Granola bars are rectangular snacks made from rolled oats, nuts, honey, and other ingredients pressed together and often dipped in chocolate or yogurt coating.
They occupy an ambiguous nutritional space—marketed as healthy but frequently loaded with sugar.
I grabbed a granola bar on my way out the door.
The convenience makes them a staple of lunchboxes, hiking packs, and desk drawers.
