We have these in the US too, they are called Lara bars and RX Bars.

Better than the typical candy bar. More similar to a serving of dried fruit & nut trail mix.

Remember it is still a high calorie count snack. Pretty much due to nut fats.

Yeah, nuts are pretty much my staple snack food.
I try to reduce sugars, though -- they've got an addictive quality -- which takes out fruit and most snack bars and cookies.

I don’t believe there are valid studies showing that sugar in a whole food, like a piece of fresh fruit with all the fiber and water that entails that slows down the intake and the absorption of the sugar, has that ability anywhere nearly as much as in stuff like cookies, snack bars and so on. Like at all. I really don’t think you should limit your (whole) fruit intake.
If you know something I don’t, though, please do tell.
I'm not sure where you are, but there are some lovely snack bars in the UK called 'nakd' that are cold pressed fruit bars in a variety of flavours that often do the trick when I want to snack. If I'm not wanting any of the former, crisps are always a way for me to feel full quickly though they're hardly a 'healthy' option.
Most supermarkets even do ranges of Vegan cookies and other snacks now too!
