GreatGood variety and are a great snack.These taste great. The cost in the store and here on Amazon are both ridiculous.Too pricey for a tiny bar.Background: I've been enjoying one or two "Strong and Kind" bars each week when I do volunteer tree planting. All have just 6 g of sugar, and are ok to good in taste. So, I wanted to buy them on a regular basis, scoped out the choices on Amazon, and went for the two variety packs -- this one and the "Strong and Kind" one.The bars in this "Variety Pack" have WAY too much sugar in them -- up to 14 g of it. I forced myself to try the high sugar ones first, just before I went outside to do an hour's work in the garden to burn off the sugar. Thing is, the sweetest ones taste nauseating. I'm referring specifically to "Kind Plus - Dark Chocolate, Cherry and Cashew", with 14 g sugar. Hoping (against hope) for a more normal tasting "health" bar, I then tried "Kind Fruits and Nuts - Peanut Butter and Strawberry", with 11 g sugar and it was at least as bad.Quite simply, these bars should be pulled from the market -- they hurt the Kind bar brand. If I had bought them at a local store, I would return them. Also, I want to try each of the bars in this variety pack in case one or two are ok. BTW, two of the bars are near or under the 6 g of sugar mark -- "Almond Walnut Macadamia", with 7 gAND "Nut Delight" with 5 g.Giving the pack 2 stars, as I have only tried 2 of the 12. Might go lower once I have tried all 12.[Edited to replace ampersands with the word "and" -- Amazon limit, apparently]Assorted KIND bars are a popular healthy snack in our office. They arrived well packaged and arrived on time. will order again from the seller.Completely disappointing!!! I specifically ordered these to try certain flavors. They came with 7 flavors instead of 12, so some were duplicates. Plus there were completely different flavors from what was pictured!! To make matters worse they are apparently “unreturnable”!!! What a rip off!!!I am a nursing student, and I do my best to steer clear of sugar junk food, but sometimes I just really want a quick snack. KIND is perfect for me. NO, KIND bars aren't the healthiest--they do not claim to be--but they are a way better alternative than a candy bar or some of the other snacks out. You need to read labels: some of the KIND bars are lower in sugar and higher in protein than others. These help fill me up in between meals, and give me a boost of protein from yummy nuts. I have not had a bar that I do not like, and I personally love this variety pack! I will definitely purchase this again. For a nice blurb about KIND bars, check out this site:(...)I bought these for my kids to have healthy high-protein snacks handy. They loved them, and I loved the bites that I sneaked. I loved the huge variety in one box -- instead of the kids getting bored with having the same snack all the time, a new flavor every time made it feel like a treat.My only complaints --(1) I wish I could specify "no chocolate" because they are melty and my littlest holds it in her hand until she's a chocolaty mess.(2) About 3 out of 24 bars smelled and tasted a little rancid to me, even though they were not past their "use by" date. My husband and daughter didn't notice it, but my son and I did. I have a very sensitive sense of taste/smell, so I'm not surprised that I was able to detect the rancid smell before the nuts officially "turned."
