I haven't had them before but it looks like they do have very limited ingredients, still a lot of sugar, but it seems the sugar is all from dates which has a low glycemic index.

They have simple ingredients and taste amazing --- I personally LOVE their chewiness.

However, they dates are rather sweet and add a lot of sugar. But RxBars are a way better option than cliff bars or any other monster energy bars out there that are basically corn syrup and whey.

I don't think that Clif bars technically have any corn syrup or whey. But maybe they are close enough, with sugar syrup and protein isolate. The Chocolate Chip flavor ingredients begin, "Organic Brown Rice Syrup, Organic Rolled Oats, Soy Protein Isolate."

Yeah, 15g Sugar is about 57% of the sugar you should have in a day.
