This is a pretty standard clif bar - soft texture, terrible looks, good taste. Aptly named, this really is very similar to the regular chocolate chip clif bar plus a subtle addition of coconut. This reminds me a lot less of a girl scout cookie than the clif mojo and in fact the coconut tastes a little hollow without the almonds. This is personally telling, I clearly 'feel like a nut.' In any event I think the clif mojo is better - if you're eating full-sized clif bars you should add this to the rotation but if you're trying to make up for the fact that girl scout cookies only come once a year you should get the mojo bar.

Pictures of packaging or bars? I'll never remember all these names, but I might remember the package.

An impressive catalog.
