I've been eating these cherry apple fruit and yogurt bars for maybe a year or so now.Maybe longer.I love them.I should mention first, that I HATE yogurt.I can't stand it, and I've tried other fruit bars with yogurt and hated those too.I don't know what made me try these.Maybe because the picture on the box didn't make it LOOK like yogurt was in them.No picture of yogurt.. the filling of these breakfast bars aren't yogurt looking.. etc.Anyway, I tried them, and I love them.I do not taste the yogurt at all.They are tasty, and all natural, and they are a great snack.When I first started buying them, they would crumble very easily inside the packaging, and it was not convenient to carry them around with me (since trying to eat one after it was in a purse meant a lot of crumbs).Then at some point they changed something and the "crust" stuff stays together now.Still tastes the same, just easier to carry around with me.They can still fall apart if they get crushed enough, but it's not normally an issue.

The only reason I did not give this product 4 stars is because of the one time I bit into one and found that it was filled with white mold.That had been the first time I ever saw this though in all the time I've been eating them (I ate at least a box a week for over a year), so I don't want to completely stop eating them because of just one experience..although it does make me wary of biting into any more without breaking them in half first and looking inside.

I reported this to amazon who immediately refunded my entire purchase price, and told me that it would be investigated before they would sell this product again.I trust that this was done, as it is now being sold again, so I think it's safe to buy them from amazon again.The expiration date on the box had not yet passed, althouth it was only a month away.I emailed the company Barbara's about it, and they suggested that what I saw was actually crystalized sugar (I forget the actual terms they used, but that's what they meant) and not mold.It is possible that they were right -- but, I have seen mold before, and I have seen crystalized sugar before, and I do not believe it was sugar crystals I was seeing.I believe that it was actually mold.Still, this was a one time incident, and the way Amazon handled this problem was excellent.Barbaras more than likely would have offered to compensate me for the cost of my purchase (I don't know how they do things there, but I assume they gaurantee their products), but seeing as I was given a refund from Amazon already I did not follow through.

I don't think it a single incident in over a year warrants taking any more than 1 star off of my review. So, 4 stars it is.

I've also eaten the blueberry-apple and the strawberry apple.. they were good, but I liked the cherry apple the best.
