Tastes sort of like vitamins. Soft texture - like a really dense peanut butter nougat dipped in chocolate. This is a huge, heavy, dense bar, which is sort of good because it cost a lot. A bit dry, a bit fake tasting. I have to admit, most of these 'nutrition bars' haven't come very far. They still taste a lot like vitamins, which is just what you don't want them to taste like. Sure I can understand that adding things like peanut butter can help with the taste, but really only so much - the chemicals will still shine through. I'm starting to see the draw of the organic ones, which have to derive vitamin content differently. I have to admit, I didn't like all of those but for the most part they didn't taste manufactured. On the other hand, these look like real bars. Can you guys and Clif get married? I want the clif bars to keep tasting great but be less ugly; likewise I want you to keep looking great but be tastier. Get going on that, ok?
