Cliff Bar vs. Hershey's Milk Chocolate With Almonds

Balance Bar vs. Twizzlers

Luna Bar vs. Reese's Peanut Butter Cup

Lara Bar vs. Almond Joy

Sure, Lara Bars are sweetened with dates, but they’re still very, very sweet. The Key Lime Pie Lara Bar has 24 grams of sugar, which is four more grams than the sugar in one Almond Joy.

Met RX Bar vs. Peanut Butter M&Ms

The Met RX Big 100 Meal Replacement Bar Crispy Apple Pie is intended to substitute an actual meal, and its caloric content reflects this. At 400 calories, this bar is only necessary when you are forced to to skip lunch - but with its sugar content at 29 grams, it might be better to choose something else altogether. A 1.63 oz bag (pack of 24) of Peanut Butter M&Ms has 22 grams, by comparison.

Cliff Bar vs. Kit Kat

Lara Bar vs. Jelly Beans

Even though a Lara Bar looks relatively small in size, it packs a punch of sugar into one tiny package. With 24 grams of sugar in the Carrot Cake Lara Bar you could get the same amount of sugar in a large pack of Jelly Beans.
