The chocolate's saltiness and bitterness that divides buyers aligns with video reviewers' concern about flavor intensity.

In their words

i live on rxbars bc i generally like their simple ingredients and balanced, non-extreme macros. this is my go-to flavor, it is soooooo good. the chocolate tastes really high quality, and it's not too sweet -- the bitterness with the sticky sweet date base creates the perfect contrast, and the sea salt makes the flavor pop perfectly! please never change this product!!!

I got this bar for free to try & I didn't like it much. I like little chunks of nuts in protein bars but these pieces were too big almost a whole almond. Then there's the nasty gross liquidity spots of bitter dark chocolate. I like dark chocolate but this dark chocolate was the worst it was way too salty & bitter. Those chocolate spots tasted like they were toxic. The rest of the bar was ok.
