I mean you are correct, they are high in sugar, but not from added sugar but instead natural dates and nuts. I'm ok getting some sugars from fruits.
It looks like two minis (26g each) are equivalent to one large (52g). So 32 minis is the same as 16 large. So the price of the 32 minis (~16 large) is about the same as the 12 large, so this would be a better deal per ounce.
So these are touted to be great but am I missing something, these

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018H3LFJG/

are cheaper per ounce even with that great discount and try more flavors... seems like the OP is penalized for having half sized mini packages... I think 0.92 oz is hardly enough for anything, might as well go for the 2oz for even less price... might be worth a try. They list that crap as 62 cents per COUNT, what a scam, like people are that stupid.

Crap in a nice packaging. How is this a protein bar when it has more sugar than protein.
It should be called a sugar bar.

Quote from ThriftyIdea6692 :
1g of sucrose is 1g of sucrose whether it is added or not, 1 g of fructose is 1 g of fructose whether it is added or not, the chemical properties of a chemical do not change just because it is "added" vs. original.
That is patently false by all recent scientific knowledge re nutrition science.
It's like saying the 19g of sugar in the average apple is treated by your body the same way 19g of sugar in a candy bar is.

I think they mean that fructose is healthier than sucrose

Yep, it's also like saying broccoli has more protein per calorie than beef. Only problem is, most of it is locked behind fiber that we can't digest. Ruminant animals have four stomachs to overcome this.

I just checked--the Costco packs are 14 full-sized bars (7 PB/chocolate, 7 chocolate sea salt). In the northeast they last went on sale in July, $18.59 -$5.60 = $12.99/box, plus tax.

These 32 minis (26g each) are the equivalent of 16 full-sized bars (52g each), or 14.3% larger than a Costco box, so the equivalent Costco sale price would be $12.99*1.143 = $14.85. Therefore $19.61 is NOT a bargain if you have a Costco membership and can wait for the next approx. quarterly sale.

I think the real appeal is the compact size for if you just want something that's slightly sweet and filling but don't want to eat 200+ calories.
I guess technically you could just eat half of a full one.

Ah, but you're mistaking, or misrepresenting, correlation for causation. Yes,it is absolultely true that overall, across all foods, added sugars correlate with less healthy choices than natural, but only because most of the foods that they add sugars to (candy, snacks, ultraprocessed foods, etc.) are so much more unhealthy to begin with than the ones that have sugar naturally (fruits and vegetables). The fact that it's added vs. natual isn't what's causing the problem, it's all that other bad stuff in the candy bar, vs all the good stuff in the apple. Health authorities push this added/natural sugars rule, because they figure it's OK to fudge the truth a bit as long as it gets people to make better food choices overall on average. But since it's just a correlation, you can't use it to directly compare two otherwise identical food items - you can't say a specific product is automatically healthier just because the sugars are "naturally" added, correlation doesn't work that way, unfortunately. To compound the problem, food companies have figured this trick out, and take advantage by selling what are often little more than candy bars, with much of the same bad stuff as regular candy bars and little of the good stuff of natural foods, but with their sugars added as "natural" by including high-sugar-low-nutritive-value fruits like dates as part of their formula, knowing that many people reflexively have been taught to equate natural with healthy. The added/natural guideline is well intended, but it's just not true when comparing individual products - it's the rest of what's in the products that really matters, not the source of the sugars.
