The debut of a couple of new Nature Valley products caused me to check on its proliferation. According to General Mills’ Nature Valley website, there are six kinds of Sweet & Salty Nut bars, nine kinds of Crunchy bars, two kinds of Roasted Nut Crunch bars, four kinds of Chewy Trail Mix bars, three kinds of Protein bars, three kinds of Yogurt bars and three kinds of Granola Thins.
Now there are additions: two kinds of Greek Yogurt Protein bars and two kinds of Breakfast Biscuits. I’m not sure what makes something a breakfast biscuit, but these are thin, cookie-like items, four to the 50-gram (1.77-ounce) pouch that is said to be a serving, five pouches in a box. I would say they aren’t quite sweet enough to be cookies, but if you consider a scone to be dessert, you’d say these breakfast biscuits are cookies.
