Nature's Bakery Whole Wheat Fig Bars, Real Fruit, Strawberry, 12 Twin packs

I literally grew-up on Fig Newton’s & adored them! I grew-up in home that had Food Laws, yes, Laws, not Rules!!My younger brother & sister were each allowed a half-hour to one hour of tv. Which was a treat to each of us. We were also allowed to eat a regular (not mini, but certainly not one of those obscenely huge bars of chocolate candy) candy bar, once a week. I typically bought my brother & sister candy with my allowance, since I’d met my family when I was five. (Complicated) Then, upon returning to nyc, I spent everyday working all the time. (I worked a Lot as a model until I realized I had brains. I never saw a penny of it, even though I worked everyday, all day long. Private cars picked me up in nyc (really nice men, typically my dad’s age (30 when I was 5) would drive me from job to job.) & I’d see many familiar faces after the 1st six months of doing this. I didn’t really like people fussing with my hair, putting make-up on me or staring at me, while I was initially photographed in their clothes or being told how to use their products. Which ended about six months after I started working. I learned to read people quickly, which is always an asset! My mom organized my 1st few jobs, then I figured out how to do it. The people 5 times my age taught me a lot & were really just terrific! Both our parent’s worked & as a family, we moved to seven different countries. Which was extraordinary as a way to learn languages, cultures, see places I’d later see in my school books. The food was Incredible-WoW!!)I digressed severely, apologies! Since my younger years weren’t say, “typical”, I started associating specific foods with ‘having or being’ Home. For me, Fig Newton’s, PB & J’s & an ice cold glass of milk or a chocolate egg cream, all meant Home to me, no matter where I was. Since one Shirley Temple (Ginger-ale on ice w/ grenadine & a fake, kinda red cherry 🍒) was ordered for me, when the adults had cocktails, this was my only exposure to soda until Coke. Again, until our family started dying, (Complicated. I was 15, my bro & sis 14 & 12) none of us knew that anybody could eat chocolate or drink sodas more than once a week! As far as eating cookies for dessert, we only had them for our picnics, on the weekends we spent in the woods. Meaning that after swimming in the lake, in the ocean, coming inside to warm up from skiing or sledding-in the States or overseas, we’d always have Fig Newton’s, chocolate chip cookies-homemade by me mostly or these very thin Raisin Cookies, as our daily sweet treat. This is taking forever-sorry! Just trying to let you know how significant Fig Newton’s have been to my life! Sometime during my 20’s, I started running b4 University & working & making Veg/apple fresh juice for myself. I adored Juicing & until lately, drank fresh Veggie Juices everyday.Once I started drinking fresh veggies juices, my Beloved Fig Newton’s became too sugary for me. Please don’t misunderstand me here! Even during my Snobbiest Foodie Times, I’d still delight in eating & making Chili con casa (spelling?) w/ Velvetia (fake) Cheese, Picante Sauce & Refried Beans! (OMG it’s divine!! Everywhere I made or brought it, always 1st Yummy to disappear. Maybe cause even lactose intolerant could eat it, since it’s fake cheese. Idk!) Even when I was a Vegetarian-7 years - Fig Newton’s & Felafel’s were a Favorite meal when I was 12.Healthy Food has grown to really not only healthy, actually Delicious too!! Tho- to actually Find A Cookie, I now Prefer to Newton’s? Yeah, these babies! Gosh they’re good! For breakfast, lunch or dinner-alone or with a meal-doesn’t matter! They’re not suddenly Diabetic Sweet & they’re covering, for me anyway, needs Pellegrino, Passion Fruit & Tangerine sun tea or juice-mixed with 2/3rds bubbling water on hand, when enjoying them.The other thing I adore bout them is I’ve been battling pain for some time now. The kind that makes ya never hungry or hangry! Discovering these & keeping a few packs of them near my bed (2 cookies are wrapped together in box that holds 12 twins. For me recently, it’s been easy to go 4-5 days, not eating. I honestly don’t get or feel hungry! These Fig Bars are the Perfect little meal sometimes for me. Crap, have I completely mucked up this Review? Well....shoot!I’m really looking forward to trying the Chocolate Bars & Other Flavors of these & they’re even kinda “healthy”! Kinda. They’re really bloody yum is truth. If you’re looking to start making a few ‘better food choices’ for you or you & your kids-try these. They still remind me of really Happy Places & nothing bout that hurts!!

OMYYYY DELICIOUS! The best chocolate flavor ever ! I just discovered these & thank goodness. What a treat .. every flavor I have tried are excellent. These chocolate bars r the best

Love these browniesAlways sold out at the storeGreat tasting for that chocolate urgeAlways fresh and great price

I love fig bars. The natural one without the artificial flavors. Somehow, the natural fig bars are harder to find than the flavored ones and more expensive. You would think it would cost less and easier to make. Amazon has limited sellers for this and sometimes the price is so high that I have to skip.

I love these but my package came damaged and my cookies were smushed

Love these for a quick on the go snack or breakfast.

Try them. Picky eaters just may have a go to food to get them eating. I don't eat much but these bars help me make sure I get calories in daily and start here and then add salad greens. Helps.

My daughter loves these but we had a hard time finding in the local store.
