The word "pistachio" reminds me of "Pinocchio" so it's always hard for me to take this particular nut seriously, but I'm going to give it my best shot!
Ingredients:
- Dates
- Pistachios
- Cashews
The dates really give this bar a chewy, sweet flavor. It also lends the bar a rich, chewy texture which we all love, however I feel as if this bar in particular needed something more - more than just chew, more than sweet; I thin it needed some good old chomp and salt. Yup, I said it - this healthy bar needs salt!
When I think of pistachios, I think of the icecream or the nuts themselves. One of the greatest things about pistachio nuts are that they aren't necessarily crunchy, they're kind of chewy and salty. This bar was expected to be chewy from the pistachios, sweet from the dates but where did the salt go? Even a little bit of Celtic salt or Himalayan salt would have been nice in this mix.
The flavor is still great though - a nice soft pistachio flavor on he back of your tongue leaves a warm aftertaste. All in all, I give it a thumbs up and recommend it if you like pistachios in icecream over pistachios by themselves.
