Built Bar 12 Pack High Protein and Energy Bars - Low Carb, Low Calorie, Low Sugar - Covered in 100% Real Chocolate - Delicious, Healthy Snack - Gluten Free (12 Flavor Mixed Box)

I gave these 5 Stars so this review will show um and not be pushed to the bottom so here goes. There seems to be an awful amount of 4 to 5 star reviews something here smells. Now i will give you the chocolate taste is there. The different textures are represented pretty well here too. But honestly If you enjoy chewing and by enjoying I mean chewing for 5 mins every bite then this is your bar. Once in your mouth you have to chew then more chew then more CHEW. BUT the flavor leaves way before you are done chewing it is honestly like chewing greasy WAX. If you were a fan of them tiny wax juice filled bottles we used to eat as kids then just imagine putting 10 in your mouth and chewing and you will get the point. We wanted to love these bars and I am sure some folks do but I really have to question how many 4+ reviews these have it smells fishy to me.

I am on the Keto eating plan and every "Keto" bar I have tried has been nasty. They generally taste like sawdust. Built Bars are WAY different. They almost taste like regular candy bars. I've never been much of a candy eater but every now and then I want something sweet and Built Bars fill the bill.

I was really nervous about ordering this pack because of so many others who had issues. But I got lucky. Everything was there and nothing was open.At first, not being used to any Frankenfood, I thought the flavors and textures were abominable. But after getting through 12 of these bars, some eaten halfway, some all the way, I'd say they are the supreme of Frankenfood and did not interfere with my weight loss, did not make me crave them, did hit the sweet tooth spot, and you just have to know what texture you want to get.Another great thing here is that I had zero tummy upset. I'd only eat from a half-a-bar to two bars at a time. And zero colon blow, thank heavens. And I'm sensitive.Most of the regular bars are a chewy, stick-to-the-teeth kind of bar. I don't really love how sticky they are. The puffs versions are kind of like a marshmallow texture, bouncy and chewy like a blown up laffy taffy. I really liked that texture best, and especially the banana. I could see me buying those to have around.Otherwise, the only two flavors that were unbearable was the double chocolate (tasted mostly of strong alcohol) and the churro, which tasted like I just bit directly into cinnamon. Now I love cinnamon, but if I want to just bite on into a pile of that dust, I can and for less moola. Otherwise, any flavor with caramel, peanut butter, mint, cherry, coconut, all the flavors are on point. I just think the satisfaction is better with the puffs variety, since they are easier to chew and make more sense, kind of like a funky marshmallow. The real unusual part for these bars is they do not taste natural, and they have a super chewy texture.Also, if anyone says, "I put mine in the freezer and it tastes like those frozen Snickers bars," they are NUTS and LYING. Do NOT stick these in the freezer. They turn into rocks. Period.Anyhoo, I will probably pick up a couple boxes of these to have on hand. But I think given how sciencey they are, I can see the cost. You could get the same flavor profiles another way. But if you want a candy bar that's not as bad, these are a good call. Of course, there will always be cleaner, healthier things to eat. But I doubt there's something better in the candy bar world. The only comparison I can make is Quest Bars, and those taste worse...far, far worse.

These bars are awesome! Its not your typical protein bar, these have a very chewy texture but are so good! And the puffs are a special treat thats light, fluffy and a softer-chewy texture. The overall chewy texture of both styles makes these bars great! It reminds me of a thick, fluffy marshmallow covered in dark chocolate (like a marshmallow crossed with a Rolo). Makes for a really good snack alternative when you need some extra protein or just crave something sweet to settle that sweet tooth!

The built bar puffs suck, they just suck. It's not good, though the regular built bars are good. I would say the best flavor is chocolate, raspberry, cherry, and mint brownie since the oreo didn't really taste like oreo, the caramel doesn't really taste like caramel. Coconut & coconut almond did taste as they were described I just hate coconut. To try all the flavors, this is a good mix, but it's not worth buying again because the puff bars are just terrible, like actually terrible.

Ok so over the years I really really have tried to like protein bars. I can eat a lot of bland low sugars foods, but most protein the texture, the taste, I just can tolerate. I tried bars that took me 3 days to eat cuz I hate wasting food, but some of them was a straight NOOOOOO. Built bars have a more candy like taste. Especially the fruit flavors, they remind of those Russell Stover's candy with the taffy like middle and chocolate covering. The coconut reminds me of an Almond Joy without the almonds. Not bad at all. They are light and not that heavy thick texture. I put my in the fridge with really helps it taste like a treat. Give it a try.

After hearing several ( 4+) influencers go on and on about these being the best bars & so delish incorporated into snacks or shakes like a candy topping I really wanted to try!I regretfully have to say these are the worst tasting protein bars that I have tried. The chemical taste, the extremely chewy texture..I know the macros are good but I rather have a chalky protein shake then this. Don’t get me started on the puffs option. The coconut bars all were extra chemically, sugar alcohol maybe.I also feel rather bad for the influencers who think that they are tolerable. How processed is the normal food your eating?If your a clean eater and hoping that these might be a good option keep looking. If your body building & absolutely have to find an option for your macros these could work but they are not very good.

I think for the money, flavors and texture you cannot find a better protein bar. They are not loaded with sugar and they have a good texture unlike most protein bars. Unless you get the bars that are basically a candy bar. I use to order these direct but it would take a long time to get them. The HodgeTwins got me on them…..
