How it differs from similar foods
Compared to cereal bars, granola bars typically have a chewier texture due to the presence of whole oats and binders like honey or syrup. They often contain larger pieces of oats and inclusions, contributing to a more substantial bite. Cereal bars can sometimes be lighter and more crumbly.

How to keep the rest
