Tasty snack

My son’s favorite snack in the morning. Excellent taste. The right combination of ingredients, peanuts and chocolate.

Love these bars!!

Bought these bars instead of the premier protein brand to try them out. They're great, but wish they had more than 10 grams of protein.

They work well for me as a late afternoon snack. I am diabetic and need the extra protein

Excellent for decades, but now I'm allergic

So, I ate these for decades. LOVED them, a great compliment with or without lunch, and just the right amount of fiber. I don't know what happened, but earlier this year I thought I had a bad batch, then second box a different flavor also tasted bad. I waited a few months and yup.. same thing. I became allergic to something in them and I'm not sure what. I stay away from gluten so that's why I loved these, and I am fine with tree nuts so i don't know!

Chemical taste - no peanut butter or chocolate

If you like tasting a protein bar for the taste of protein powder but no hint of peanut butter or chocolate, then these bars are for you. For the rest of us, these are the worst tasting protein bars out there. All you taste is the protein powder and chemicals. It was my first time trying these and it will be the last time buying them. There are so many other options out there from other companies - don't waste your money with these.

Last Two Boxes Tase Like Soap

whatever y’all did to the recipe it has made everything taste like soap now. For the love of God change it back. I was hoping it was just a one off situation with the box that I got, but I tried one from a box that a friend purchased and the same soap taste is there. I won’t be buying them anymore and I’ve been a customer for so many years and used to stock them in my offices as well since I’m in charge of our snacks And now I won’t.

Tastes overcooked

I've eaten one of these every day for years but over the last few months the recipe must have a changed or something. They're harder than they used to be and taste over cooked, and like other reviewers have said there's a weird edge to the taste. I hoped it was just a bad batch or something but it's been for a while now. Hope they can fix it, these used to be 5 stars, like a having a sort of healthy snickers but now I don't look forward to it anymore.

Great for years, but now a SOAPY AFTERTASTE!

All of Nature Valley Protein bars taste terrible now, not just these but also the salted caramel nut/variety packs. I have been purchasing these for years but not anymore! The last three boxes have had a soapy aftertaste, which I assume is rancid ingredients. For the money and the "name" this shouldn't be an issue whatsoever.

Disgusting, Dry, Tasteless (in Vancouver)

Disgusting, Dry, Tasteless I regularly buy Nature Valley products but my regular choice was out of stock so I tried the Peanut Butter, Dark Chocolate Protein bars. Didn't taste like chocolate, didn't taste like peanut butter, was dry and awful. I tried to give it chance so I ate 1 and 1/2 bars - couldn't finish. Very disappointed with GM
