Taste Annie’s bars are very chewy. They taste like oats and the fruit pieces taste like dried pieces of frit. Special K’s bars are crunchier and have pieces if fruit that taste like candy. I could not taste the oats and thought it was much sweeter than Annie’s. Annie’s tasted much more natural and I could taste the ingredients it said it had. I thought Special K’s tasted like a strawberry pop tart, so I liked it more.
