Cuz I Gotta Write About Something
One recommendation I received often before my trip to Costa Rica was to bring some snacking foods, preferable some sort of fortified energy bar for those times when I was out an about.
As a result I’ve tried pretty much every Cliff Bar out there and these are my favorites.
Generally I’m not a fan of the Iced Cliff Bars. In Cliff speak spiced seems to mean 'extra layer of sugar on top', and that just makes them taste even more like a candy bar than they already do.
My favorite is easily The Black Cherry Almond bar and I have a definite preference away from the choc ones, again proly just because it too much like a candy bar (There is an incident in my vending machine days involving me and a box of Almond Joy bars that has scarred me).
In an effort to mix it up I also throw in a couple Banana Nut, Oatmeal Raison, Apricot and Cookies & Creme flavors If I'm in a chocolate mood I have the Chocolate Brownie which is slightly more bitter and suprisingly less sweet compared to most of the other chocolate flavors.
I’m desperate to try out the Spiced Pumpkin Pie.
And as for the best prices, Trader Joes cannot be beat. The bars are $1 each. Even buying in bulk at other locations I can’t come close to this price. Even the Cliff Bar web site charges more.
I wonder if there are varieties of cliff bars that are only certain locations like with Kit Kat Orange and Mint bars? And who of us wouldn’t love to see some savory version of Cliffbars?
