Clif Bar Energy Bars, Variety Pack of Chocolate Chip, Crunchy Peanut Butter, and Chocolate Chip Peanut Crunch, 2.4-Ounce Bars (Pack of 24)

i really like these bars with a cup of coffee or tea. great in between snack very filling. not real crazy about the choc chip but none the less a real satisfier and not dry tasting

Yes, there are countless nutritional reasons why Clif bars are great. This review won't discuss the intrinsic merits of these bars or comparison with other brands. The bottom line for me with energy bars is: do they taste good, and do they satisfy? Let me start with that I have no dietary restraints; in fact, that's my problem. I have trouble restraining my diet. In over 40 years of watching my weight, the only thing that works is counting calories. Here, you get 240 great calories in a 2.4 ounce bar, larger than most, for either on the go breakfast, lunch, or dinner. These will get you through to the next meal without the feeling that you sacrificed.

All three flavors are good; peanut normally doesn't appeal that much to me, but these are more natural in flavor versus a "peanut butter" type taste. Other significant factors found in Clif bars that are not normally in competiting brands (at one time or another, I have tried about everything out there) are the brownie texture and moistness. Watch Amazon for periodic monthly grocery coupons that will allow a set amount, like $10 off on $29, including super saver shipping, to get the cost of these down to around 80 cents each. By all means, check the expiration date on the bars before you use them; my recent order's date is July 2009. They won't last nearly that long. In the event that Amazon ships with an expired date, the return process is fairly painless, and they will pay the postage back, ship you a new order, or let you cancel, as you choose.

i think the product is a bit overrated, personally prefer peanut butter flavor much better than other chocolate chip ones.

Amazon's price after discounts from the grocery service is top-notch. My wife and I go through a box or so each month during the training season, so Amazon's system has been great thus far.

Clif bars are top quality in a market over-run with imitators. Also, the company stands by a set of values and supports them. I happen to think they are delicious and it's much easier to get them this way than trying to buy this at the store or paying much more for them one at a time (even with shipping).
