Missing Something....
I loved the Zone Bar DC with almonds.  For me, the almonds literally made the bar.  They were plentiful without overwhelming the taste experience.  The added a lovely texture and a nice nutty flavor to what would have otherwise been something a bit to candy-like in overall taste experience.<br /><br />All that has changed now.  I can only assume that the brilliant bean counters at Abbot decided that the almond ratio was getting a bit to spendy in this slow economy and decided to make a change...for the worst.  I USED to be able to expect at least one Almond per bite. And because it takes me about eight bites to eat a bar...you can do the math.<br /><br />Several orders ago I noticed a severe decline in the Almond to bar ratio.  Sometimes as few as one or two Almonds per bar, and sometimes ( not infrequently mind you). NO almonds per bar. So tried a second batch and even a third, all spread out over several months in the failing hope that I had simply gotten a bad batch. No such luck.<br /><br />I vote with my wallet and so Abbott, when you start adding enough Almonds to your zone bars for me to get at least a couple in every bar, give me a call.  Until then, you will have to bilk someone else out the premium you charge for an experience you no longer deliver.<br /><br />Adieu.
