I've tried so many different protein bars and this is my fave! Most protein bars taste super chalky or have some off taste about them, but not this one. I forget I'm eating a protein bar because I can taste the chocolate & peanut butter - not the protein! Its probably cheaper to buy a box, but they do sell single bars.
