Truly awful

These are quite possibly the worst tasting protein bars I have ever tried. I am skeptical that the glowing 5 star reviews are not authentic because there is no way anyone with working taste buds would determine these as palatable. They even smell bad. There is almost no difference in flavor between the chocolate and cookie dough bars. They have a strange gummy texture. They leave a terrible aftertaste in your mouth. The chocolate chips on top that are supposedly there to mask the awful flavor are sickly sweet and themselves have a strange texture. Please, save yourself the misery of eating these and choose literally anything else as a snack.

Age roulette

If the bars are fresh IMO they are comparable to Quest. BUT. if you get older bars they are definitely not up to Quest bars. I continue to buy them though, if I get an old box I usually give them to other people who don't mind.

great!

I think they are amazing! I was always jealous of Costco members who have a similar product. I prefer these to quest. Also since they are new you don?t get a bad box (yet)

Best of all Bars

I just came back to buy more and there is no stock? Hope they will come back soon. I have tried them all. I only buy ones with no sugar added. These have been the best of all.

Low sugar Bars

Bars are much better an other low sugar Bars. Good texture and taste at a great price. Hoping they are in stock next time I go to Sam's. I've never tried Quest Bars, I have tried all the other low sugar Bars from sams and these are by far the best!

just ok

These have a chemical artificial taste that isn't good. They are nowhere near the Atkins bars they seem to be replacing. Sams seems to be replacing name brands with the Members Mark brand and more often than not, the new product is inferior.

How does this get glowing reviews?

Low in carbs-yes Low in sugar-yes Saturated fat-needs to be lower Fiber-at least it has some Taste-TERRIBLE Texture-Way too chewy I definitely won't be purchasing this product again and I won't recommend it to others. Yes, I've tried other protein bars, I know what to look for and not look for. These bars rank towards the bottom or at the bottom. I have to choke them down with a glass of water.

First of all, definitely not similar to quest bars. Though I do enjoy the texture of these, they're much softer. The flavor is decent. I'd give them 4 stars if they got rid of the weird fake chocolate bits on top. They fall off easy which is nice removing them, but also annoying if you don't pick them off before eating. Nothing can beat Quest bar cookies and cream.

Not Comparable to Quest Bars

I've had both the chocolate brownie and cookie dough versions of Quest Bars. Comparing the M'sM bars to Quest bars is pretty silly really. Sure, net carbs, sugar, and protein are similar, but Quest bars have far more fiber and far less sugar alcohols in general. For example, M'sM chocolate brownie has 7g fiber, 13g sugar alcohol. Quest chocolate brownie has 16g and 2g, respectively. And herein lies the problem I have with these bars. The confectionery drops, the "chocolate chips", are straight sugar alcohols and they are gag-reflex inducingly sweet with a gross aftertaste. And that's just the chips. The bar is also super sweet. If you happen to be sensitive, digestion-wise, to sugar alcohols, these will have you running for the bathroom. It's just too much sweet without the need to have it there; Quest bars taste fine without the extra 11g of sugar alcohol. Atkins treat bars (the ones that are supposed to be like Snickers and Mounds) don't even taste this sweet and don't have a nasty aftertaste on their chocolate. The nice part about these chips is that they are pressed on the top of the bar, so you can easily pick them off and throw them away. Which only leaves the super sweet bar of dough or chocolate flavor behind to choke down. But at least they are kind of edible this way. Even coffee doesn't get the aftertaste out of your mouth! To be fair, the chocolate brownie doesn't have the odd aroma the Quest bar chocolate brownie does. Both the flavors of these M'sM bars taste like what they are supposed to taste like. But then again, so do Quest bars. Other than the sugar alcohol issue, M'sM bars are not as chewy or dense, these bars are much softer. They honestly look smaller compared to a Quest bar. They are the same net weight, so I imagine the difference is made up in those chips that I keep dumping in the trash. My husband and I really like the chewy/dense texture of Quest bars (and the cookie-like bits in some of their flavors) because they make them feel substantial and satisfying as food on the go. Maybe you like the sweet taste, or can't tell there's an aftertaste, or like that they aren't as dense/chewy, and that's cool. Your mileage may very, but I feel like I just wasted money I could have spent on Quest bars (that I have to purchase elsewhere) just to buy this one box to try them, hoping they'd be good for convenience sake. All in all, I won't buy these again and I definitely can't recommend them to anyone.
