Caramel Nut Brownie Luna Bar

What does that look like? A brownie? Cake? Bar cookie? Squished chocolate mille-feuille? Nah... it's actually a Caramel Nut Brownie Luna Bar. From a package. Factory made. Yet, if you had cut it up nicely and garnished a 2cm x 2cm chunk of it with a dollop of cream, you'd get this thing called a "gourmet" pastry. In high society [and middle/lower class, too, I suppose], plating matters so much. Which is rather stupid, since most foods end up looking pretty much the same in your mouth, and elsewhere. I've never really had a thing for plating. Plating makes food look too dead and ornamental. Food looks so fragile and I feel like I'm guiltily eating a sacred dinosaur bone. Anyway.

What a sexist wrapper. As though women don't like Clif bars... sigh. I'm sure guys like this too.

Looks delicious, tastes delicious! There are way too many Calories for a 48g bar but whatever... It is better than eating a cookie.

Luna Bar...

This isn't strictly a "chocolate" but honestly, I wonder whether there is any differentiation between a Snickers and a Peanut Butter & Chocolate Luna Bar. They are essentially the "same thing", except that the Luna Bar is organic and has 10g more protein than a "regular" Snickers. In essence, the Clif Bar failed to make a wheaty-oaty-ingredient-seeable bar. They instead created a solid mush topped with thin, easily melted [a.k.a. waxy/oily] layer of "chocolate" coating.

This is essentially the same as the Snickers coating. In fact, the Luna Bar is described as being a "Decadent chocolatey covered nougat". Juxtapose that with the Snickers: peanut nougat, caramel, and chocolate covered. Pretty similar... [size included!]
In short, this Luna Bar was yummy :D, and I couldn't taste much peanut at all. The chocolate layer was blandly sweet [a.k.a not chock full of chocolate]. If on the scale of the different "bars" that are on the market today, Luna Bars definitely lean [hahaha. Lean. Get it?] to the Powerbar side. A.k.a. the homogeneous mashed up ingredients side. Check up my scale:
