Mars Tracker Bars

For my second review, I thought that Tracker Bars would be good to review, because my first review was savoury:

Tracker Bars (I'm reviewing the original bar), are an oaty bar with caramel and chocolate chips.

Appearance

They are well presented and a made in layers, which is an effective addition to the bar. I like the way the chocolate chips are small, and sit on top of the bar. There are enough to be tasted with the rest of the bar, but not so much that they over power the caramel and oats.

**** (out of five)- I like the layers, but there should be slightly less caramel.
Taste

There is a good balance of ingredients. The majority of the bar is the oats, which have a less powerful taste. They are then covered with caramel, which has chocolate chips on top. There are also nuts and toasted rice mixed in. I like the nuts, and are toasted perfectly. But, they hide the sweetness of the caramel. The toasted rice is crunchy, but is hidden because there is so little compared to the rest of the bar. The oats seem good quality, because they have a light brown colour and a delicious natural taste. I like the caramel, because it is not too sweet and doesn't go all stringy. It is a rich golden colour, but perhaps too brown in some places. The chocolate chips are very sweet, maybe too sweet. They have a good milky brown colour, and they taste very nice.

**** (out of five)- I like the choice of ingredients, but I think that the chocolate is too sweet and the nuts hide the caramel's sweetness.

8/10

Overall, I think that I would recommend this bar to people who like sweet cereal bars, but I think there are too many ingredients. This is a good addition to a lunch box, but it is slightly unhealthy because of the caramel and chocolate chips.
