Nature Valley Granola Nut Clusters are the new taste sensation from General Mills. How would you like to surprise the man on your list (or any outdoors enthusiast!) with a great prize pack that includes all four varieties of the new Nut Clusters, plus a sling backpack, stainless steel water bottle, flashlight and binoculars? One lucky Contest Corner reader will win this great “Snack Pack”, so read on!

My Take:

Nature Valley Granola Bars have always been a big favorite in my household. I’ve gotten some great deals on them with my coupon skills before, but no matter how many I stockpile, they always seem to disappear in a hurry! So when our friends at MyBlogSpark asked if I wanted to test out the new Nut Clusters, it was a no-brainer! They sent me a “Snack Pack” of my own, containing all four flavors – Nut Lovers, Roasted Almond, Roasted Cashew and Honey Roasted Peanut. We enjoyed them so much that the bags disappeared almost overnight! I served them at brunch one morning and my family went through a whole bag in one sitting. I kept thinking each flavor was my favorite, until I tried the next one and discovered my new favorite. Needless to say, these were a big hit with us, and I think anyone who enjoys Nature Valley granola bars will like these also.

The Nut Clusters also came with a gift set of outdoorsy items. There is a great backpack – perfect for carrying some Nut Clusters on a hike! – and a nice stainless steel water bottle, which is always handy to have on hand. The “Snack Pack” also included an awesome hand crank flashlight that is compact and easy to store; it will come in very handy during the inevitable Oregon coast winter power outages. Don’t get caught short with a flashlight containing dead batteries! The “Snack Pack” also comes with a little pair of binoculars – they aren’t very powerful, but it’s still fun to play around with.

Win it!

  4. The fall season is my favorite season and always has been. Its a bit milder here in Virginia as opposed to growing up in NY. I love the scenic aspects; leaves changing, that crisp morning chill, the colors–everything!
