Keep in the refrigerator,
If I had never seen the Fruit and Nut bars before, one look at the label would tell me that they are not particularly healthful. The ingredients include corn syrup, honey, and sugar listed twice. In fact, there are 14 grams of sugar in every 34 gram bar. That is forty percent! Although the label does claim all natural ingredients, that does not necessarily mean that the contents are all good for you.
The sugar seems to be what holds the fruit and nuts together. The reason that I keep them in the refrigerator is that when the bars get warm, they do not hold their shape. You do not want to put one in your pocket on a warm day. They become a sticky blob.
So why do I keep a big supply of them around? I like them. When cooled, they keep their shape as a crunchy rectangle of nuts and fruit. Their nutty texture is very nice. The taste is great, although the sugar does make its presence known. I do not eat them every day or take them with me to go hiking. For that, I like the Oats and Honey, Almond, or Peanut Butter varieties of Nature Valley granola bars. Those varieties have a more reasonable sugar content. However, I like a Fruit and Nut bar as an occasional treat to go with tea or coffee. Maybe I am addicted to them.
