Let me preface by saying, I love oatmeal! During winter I start out almost every day with a big, hot bowl of oatmeal and a huge ass cup of coffee. Maybe now you can understand my disappointment when I have to say I do not like Quaker Oatmeal to Go. Not that I was really looking for a replacement to my big, hot bowl of oatmeal. I was looking for a quick, easy, healthy-ish, out-of-the-box breakfast for those mornings when me & the kids were running late. Pop-Tarts were not cutting it.
Of course, being a huge sweet tooth, I had to try one the second day I'd stocked my pantry. Being a huge sweet tooth I don't buy cookies and junk, bad for my ever-expanding waistline, so when I get a craving I scramble for anything and everything that looks remotely sweet. And these looked sweet. And they are. Sort of.
The icing on top is sweet and there's definitely sugar in the bar itself, but, really, the whole thing is almost as bad as biting into a dog biscuit (don't ask). It's saved from being just like a dog biscuit by 1) the icing; and 2) it's not as hard as a dog biscuit. It's like Quaker glued a bunch of dry oatmeal together and drizzled it with icing in the hopes no one would notice the pablum underneath.
