This time I found a new one for me &#8211; Nature Valley Granola Thins! They are so delicious!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3990\" title=\"naturevalley1\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/naturevalley1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"142\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m already familiar with the Oats &#8216;n Honey Crunchy Granola Bars. They are very tasty yet healthy at the same time. Based on this product, Nature Valley has now created Granola Thins. These provide the same flavor and crunch but now with peanut butter or dark chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>They are all-natural and do not contain high fructose corn syrup. They  are the perfect size too &#8211; you just need one square to fill that  &#8216;munchie&#8217; feeling. Better yet, each square is only 90 calories so it&#8217;s a guilt-free snack. Nature Valley provides the full list of ingredients for the Dark Chocolate and the Peanut Butter Granola Thins.<\/p>\n<p>With summer being here, I have noticed a lot of S&#8217;more love being spread around. Here is a recipe using these Granola Thins instead of graham crackers and chocolate bars:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-4019 alignright\" title=\"naturevalley2\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/naturevalley2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"125\" height=\"125\" \/>Roast marshmallow over open flame until it turns golden brown.<\/li>\n<li>Select two dark chocolate Granola Thins. Try the peanut butter flavor as a tasty alternative. You can even use one of each!<\/li>\n<li>Place the marshmallow inside the two thins, granola side out, and enjoy!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are not tidy car-snacks for the kiddies though. They are quite crumby and if it is any warmer than room temperature, the topping sticks a bit to the paper insert. Despite this, these will be a staple in my house and my car from now on.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2013<br \/>\n\u25ba <strong>Giveaway closed, winners announced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/t-g-i-monday-816\">here<\/a>!<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2013<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\"><strong>WIN IT! <\/strong><br \/>\nOne reader will win a special Nature Valley Prize Pack which includes a nature-inspired mug, mouse pad, desk calendar, and 2 boxes of Nature Valley Granola Thins (one of each flavor).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-4026\" title=\"naturevalley3\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cookiesandclogs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/naturevalley3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"267\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\"><strong>To enter (mandatory):<\/strong><br \/>\nVisit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.naturevalley.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Nature Valley<\/a> and tell me which bar or snack is your favorite.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\"><strong>For additional entries leave a comment for each you do:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Subscribe via email, 3 entries (in middle column)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">&#8220;Like&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/naturevalley?v=wall\" rel=\"nofollow\">Nature Valley on Facebook<\/a> and tell them <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.prizey.net\/detail\/nature-valley-granola-thins\/\" rel=\"nofollow\"><\/a><\/strong>Cookies &amp; Clogs sent you!<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">&#8220;Like&#8221; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cookiesandclogs\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cookies &amp; Clogs on Facebook<\/a>, 3 entries<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Follow <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/cookiesANDclogs\" rel=\"nofollow\">Cookies &amp; Clogs on Twitter<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Follow <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Nature_Valley\" rel=\"nofollow\">Nature Valley on Twitter<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Tweet the following once a day:<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\"><strong>Win a Nature Valley Prize Pack (mug, mouse pad, desk calendar) @cookiesandclogs @Nature_Valley Ends 8\/15 #win #giveaway http:\/\/bit.ly\/bNMI0y<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Follow me on Google Friend Connect<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Follow my blog on Networked Blogs<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Blog about this and link back to me, 5 entries<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Add my button to your site and tell me where to find it<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: line-through;\">Giveaway ends 8\/15\/10 at 11:59 PST.
