Customer Reviews of Clif Bar Energy Bar, Cool Mint Chocolate, 2.4-Ounce Bars, 24 Count
Customer Review: One of the better flavors
Summary: 4 Stars
It has green tea in it. I don't like the flavor of some green tea, there's this after taste that I find repulsive, and that aftertaste was present in these bars unless I was hungry enough not to notice it. It isn't in the foreground, but it's there, behind the main taste, tainting it. If it weren't for that... subtaste, these would be great and I'd probably continue to order this flavor. As is, after these two boxes, I'm done with mint for a while.
The mint could also stand to be stronger in both these and the peppermint luna.
Overall, one of the better flavors, though. I've bought some where I had trouble getting through the box (cookie dough luna protein, for example.) But these were much better.
Customer Review: Healthful and filling
Summary: 4 Stars
More "real" food ingredients in these bars than some other popular energy bars. Great flavor, chewy and filling.Customer Review: yummy
Summary: 3 Stars
these are great tasting but i do agree with what other people have written, i wish there wasnt as much sugar as there is in them. I am a Clif Bar fan though.Customer Review: Not Filling Enough
Summary: 2 Stars
I had this bar as a meal replacement for dinner. Totally didn't work. I was still really hungry after eating it. The taste was great. I enjoyed the chocolate mint taste and the texture was soft and chewy. So thumbs up for that-- but I was hungry! I'm a woman 5'6" and 130 lbs, so I don't think I have a big appetite. Normal appetite.
I usually have South Beach Living High Protein Cereal Bars, Peanut Butter, 5-Count Bars (Pack of 4) and even though those are only 140 calories (about 100 calories less than Clif) I find them more filling. I think it's because they have a higher fat content. The protein content is similar with Clif having 10 grams and South Beach having 8 grams.
I just think for the amout of calories the Clif bar is that it should be more filling.
Customer Review: buy one at a store before you commit to 24 ct on amazon.
Summary: 1 Stars
I love chocolate candy bars. I can't get enough of snickers.
Who would of thought chocolate in health bars would be great?
I bought clif before at costco and didn't have a pleasant experience having to finish them. Couple of them expired because I just don't like them. The ones I bought from costco were chocolate chip and peanut butter. Peanut butter is alright but peanut always leaves a smoky cardboard after taste.
I thought I might give clif bar another try with cool mint chocolate instead of just chocolate. maybe the mint will add some flavoring.
So I had to buy a 24 ct here at amazon. I got it today..man it just taste the same just with a bit of mint. hard to swallow. I realize now that chocolate in health bars uses those of unsweetened cocoa powder in baking...not those of swiss hot chocolate. Have you tried unsweetened cocoa powder? it just has a bitter taste. Think of dark chocolate candy without the sweetness.
I had zone bars and powerbar chocolate flavors and they all taste just the same.
I know not to buy any chocolate flavor health bars again.
Yes, I know everyone has their own preferences and taste but if you're like me who loves snickers/kit kat/baby ruth / herseys/ godiva then you probably won't like chocolate health bars in general.
That said doesn't mean clif bars are bad. I just received a 12 ct on White chocolate and macadamia nuts. "chocolate" here isn't cocoa powder. Just a fancy name for cream & sugar mixed together like icing on a cake. MAN I LOVE IT. I finished it 4 days (I used them as meal replacement and not snacks). So I would eat 2 during lunch. Gets me full and energized!
So I guess I went for the mint chocolate thinking it would be different. Nope ..health bar chocolate is just plain difficult to enjoy.
I was going to order Oatmeal and raisin but I don't want to commit to 24 ct if I don't like it. I went to Walmart and picked up a 6 pack oatmeal and raisin for $6. A smaller pack is better just in case I don't like it. Turns out the oatmeal and raisin is great.
anyways just saying that chocolate flavor health bars are just not that great. If they were, then I would choose never to eat snickers and kit kat anymore.
Go to your grocery store and try one flavor . That's what I should have done. If some flavors arent available like chocolate mint (couldn't find it at walmart) Just stay away from chocolate health bars
