Also is it true you can cook or microwave quest bars?

    I've also heard that, though I prefer to eat them uncooked. It's easier for me to savor the quest bar over a longer period of time (sometimes it takes me an hour to eat one) that way.

    Yes, there are recipes for making all kinds of things out of Quest bars. I just eat them right out of the package:)

    They are delicious microwaved, but only put them in for a short time. Nuke it on a plate then eat it with a spoon. It totally changes the texture. If I am in the car, I leave it on the dashboard in the sun which makes it go all gooey - yum!

    10 secs in the microwave softens up the texture nicely and makes it easier to eat. Make sure to unwrap it first unless u want a lightning storm

    I've never microwaved them. I wonder if microwaving them would make some of the flavors taste better.

    Yes, it is true and they taste delicious that way! Microwaving them makes them like a gooey cookie or brownie. I usually put them in the microwave for about 7 seconds to get them soft and gooey without completely melting them. Putting them in the oven is my favorite! I set my oven to 350 and let it preheat. Put the Quest bar on a non-stick cookie sheet or some foil sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Then, pop it in the oven for 6-7 minutes. It comes out crunchy on top and gooey and melty and delicious on the inside! It's especially good to do with the chocolate chip cookie dough flavor, in my opinion! If you like it extra crunchy on top, turn the broiler on in the oven just for the last minute it's in there. I would highly recommend trying them this way!

    I tried microwaving the cookie dough one because I heard it was so much better that way. I didn't really care for it. I prefer them right out of the package.

    Try freezing them, they last even longer :joy:

    NEVER MICROWAVE ! I love them baked they puff up and taste like cookies. I've baked the chocolate chip cookie one and it is like chocolate chip cookies. It is nice variety on the taste! I also love the apple pie baked. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/5a/25/ac/5a25ac285836a888732c26a5ceaae6b7.jpg

    That looks so good :) I didn't like the microwaving at all. I love quest bars, but I'm currently on low FODMAP so not allowed unfortunately :(

    I set to 400 and put on tin foil then keep oven on and watch them until done. Usually it takes 10ish minutes!

    I just tried the microwave thing a couple months ago. Amazing! The cinamon roll or apple pie is awesome. I now have to heat it up. Infinitely better in my opinion.


    This for me too. I don't like them all, but these two flavors, micro'd for 12 sec. or so....make it much better! Hate them otherwise.

    I think the cookies and cream is greatly improved after being nuked. I like all of them microwaved but I do eat it faster that way.
