"Shoppers have been comparing the Kirkland bars to the popular Kind Nut Bars with Dark Chocolate Nuts and Sea Salt, which are also available at Costco in a variety pack. The price of the Kirkland product is significantly cheaper - a pack of 30 nut bars costs $17.99, while a pack of 20 Kind bars will cost you $20.49. Beyond the cheaper price, Costco customers are also huge fans of the flavor, noting that the taste is simply superior. One person admitted on Reddit that the better flavor is almost a problem, saying, "I eat one Kind bar to deal with a hunger pang, and I definitely don't want a second one. With these, I'll often go get another.""
"Kirkland's nut bars reportedly hit the perfect balance between a soft and crunchy texture, something that can't be said for every snack bar at Costco. The addition of dark chocolate and sea salt also ensures that the treat isn't too sweet, providing a good alternative to the more sugar-forward candy bars."
"Nutritionally speaking, there isn't much difference between Kirkland's Cocoa Drizzle & Sea Salt nut bars and Kind Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt bars. Both have the same serving size (40 grams) and come with 15 grams of fat. Kirkland bars have 200 calories, six grams of sugar, and five grams of protein; Kind bars have 180 calories, five grams of sugar, and six grams of protein."
