The oats have indeed been candied- with pure Vermont maple syrup- one big difference between the Fruit & Nut and the Granola. The concept with the Granola bar was to create a dark bar (since Fruit & Nut was the only dark offering) that could be considered a "healthy indulgence." We tried over 20 different granola recipes before deciding on one that lived up to the Five Star standard. You will be happy to know that a 6th Five Star Bar is in the works, and I'm confident that you will find this next one enough of a departure from the current five. Stay tuned!

The photographs don't seem to match the bars that I bought recently. (The bars I tried were in a slightly shinier package with a picture of trees on the bottom and a man on the top.) The chocolate was great and has quickly become the favorite of my wife! This company has a great story and the chocolate seems to have gotten better recently!
