What You Should Know

You’d spot this cashew bar in the snack aisle or tossed in a backpack for a hike, commute, or after-school grab — a portable, slightly indulgent treat that feels familiar and convenient. The bar’s chewy, sticky texture comes from glucose syrup and added sugars, and the short ingredient list (mostly whole cashews plus refined sweeteners) suggests a minimally formulated snack rather than a heavily engineered product. These clues point to modest processing: real nuts with industrial sweeteners rather than many additives or emulsifiers.
