LaraBar: Peanut Butter Cookie

You have to respect the pure aesthetic of any bar whose ingredients consist solely of dates, peanuts, and salt, but to say that this is similar in any way to a peanut butter cookie would be a disgrace to cookies everywhere. Basically a log of fig with chopped up peanuts inside, this variety of the Larabar does have a flavor that accurately reflects its ingredients. But that might not be a good thing, in the end, as the tiny chop of the peanuts  gives the bar little substance and the fig body of the bar, while showing the variety of sweet complexity that we love them for, is a bit dry, giving the pairing a pasty texture, with not enough salt to liven things up. The Larabar wrapper is simple but we’d recommend putting the ingredients on the front below the brand name – a product like this is going to do better on what’s in it than false claims of what it would taste like in a planet without sugar.
