Nature Valley Granola Thins Review and Giveaway (Closed)

July 16, 2010 | Filed Under Giveaways, Reviews | 130 Comments 

If you were to look inside my pantry at any given time, I’m sure you’d spot at least one box of Nature Valley Granola Bars.  When I was asked if I’d like to try the new Nature Valley Granola Thins I happily said yes and stalked the UPS and FedEx guys until it finally showed up.

Nature Valley Granola Thins come in two different varieties which include dark chocolate and peanut butter.  After trying both varieties, my favorite is the dark chocolate!  These 100% natural granola squares are quite delicate and have a texture much like a graham cracker rather than the granola bar.  The bottom of each granola thin is layered with either creamy peanut butter or decadent dark chocolate. Each square is individually wrapped and only contains 80 calories per square. These have become my new favorite low calorie snack!  Hey, even the kids like them.

If you are a fan of granola then I really think you will love these. Each box contains 10 individually wrapped granola thins but somehow all mine disappeared.

I also wanted to share with you a recipe for a classic campfire favorite using Nature Valley Granola Thins – S’Mores!

Follow these easy steps to make S’Mores with Granola Thins.
1) Roast marshmallow over open flame until it turns golden brown.
2) Select two dark chocolate Granola Thins. Try (the peanut butter flavor as a tasty alternative. You can even use one of each!
3) Place the marshmallow inside the two thins, granola side out, and enjoy!

Buy:

You can purchase Nature Valley Granola Thins for around $3.59 per box depending on your market.  At the Walmart SuperCenter by me they are only $2.88 per box.

Giveaway:

One (1) winners will receive a Nature Valley Granola Thins Prize Pack that includes a nature-inspired mug, mouse pad, desk calendar and both Nature Valley Granola Thins varieties!
