What You Should Know

You'd spot this 1.4 oz cashew nut bar tucked in the snack aisle, at checkout, or thrown into a bag for a quick pick-me-up on the go. It gives off an indulgent, portable vibe — a sweet, chewy nutty treat that feels like a small reward. The glossy, sticky texture and presence of glucose syrup and refined sugars point to industrial formulation and processing even though whole cashews are the main visible ingredient.
