I expected to like this since I like the regular clif chocolate chip bars and I must admit I wasn't disappointed. The texture of this is unique; its like an especially-dense cereal bar. I normally don't really go in for cereal bars but this one is heavier than most and has a little more "granola" than a regular cereal bar which I think makes it better. No chemical taste, though the aftertaste is a little overly sweet - consume with a beverage. Overall this bar is really good; enough so to buy a box of 12 which is about as high as praise gets from this website.
