I love the texture combo in these cashew cranberry muesli bars as well. They’re simultaneously chewy and crunchy, so they really tick a lot of boxes! The pinch of salt helps stop them from being too sweet as well, which is always important to me. Basically they are just delicious and you should give them a try for yourself!
