    I just bought them at GNC. Was going to just taste it before I bought more. Ended up eating the whole thing before leaving the store .

    I bought two at the Vitamin Shoppe today (they were on sale 2 for $5 and had free samples), I love the flavor but it'll definitely be a flavor I consume less often as they're extremely sweet and I don't always have a sugar craving quite that intense!!! My favorite is still their Double Chocolate Chunk bar, but that could also be because I love microwaving them and this one is definitely a bar that you can't microwave too easily without causing a huge mess ;P

    Made my GNC store put them on the shelf since they hadn't yet. Not a huge fan though. Doesn't at all taste like pumpkin pie.

    Double chocolate chunk is one of my favorite too. I also love chocolate peanut butter. More so lately. I think they changed it a little.

    I was kind of bummed to see that they use suclarose in their bars.

    They taste good even though they are the new yucky formula? Maybe the coating makes it!

    Yeah I'm probably going to pass on it because of it. Sucralose makes me crave carbs.

    It actually does! The coating is so sweet that you won't even notice any possible strange taste found in some of their other newer bars, not to me at least. Whether that's a good or bad thing I'll let you decide though xD

    That new aftertaste is really harshing my mellow on Quest. I'll have to look for the pumpkin spice, even though I'm not a fan of overly sweet bars.

    Anyone know if these are available in Canada? Or if it's just in the USA right now

    I got two at The Vitamin Shoppe yesterday, but I saved trying one for just now; it's absolutely delicious! I just started eating Quest bars a few months ago, so unfortunately I haven't gotten to taste the "wow" versions of S'mores, Cookies & Cream, or most of the other flavors before the corn fiber change. However, this bar is one of the tastiest ones I've tried yet. I know it has more additives, but the texture of this bar was also better than others I've had. It felt like I could taste a graham cracker like flavor/texture on the outside. I really enjoyed the bar.

    Tried the pumpkin bar today...very tasty. But waaay too high in calories. It's 220. A regular Butterfinger is 250.

    I think the high calories balances out a little in that these bars feel like a much more substantive faire.

    A normal quest bar is a solid brick. I love the flavors, but let's face it, there is no design there, and I say this as a guy who's pretty on the spartan / functional / utilitarian / indifferent side of design.

    These things have kind of crenelations and dimensions to it. There's a certain amount of texture stuff going on there in the Pumpkin bars that just isn't normally a Quest Bar experience.

    I'm glad I'm seeing this topic after GNC is definitely closed in my area.

    Tbh.....was not very impressed with them. I did cut a piece and microwave it on a plate for 20 seconds. Tasted way better warm, but the coating melts on the bottom a little. I also mashed some into my sweet potato then microwaved them together and it was pretty good lol! But I wasn't crazy for them, they are good, just not as good as I'd thought they'd be!

    The crumbs remind me of the crumbs on an Entenmann's crumb donut. Now, I was diagnosed with celiac disease a long time ago, so it's been a while. I'm remembering a flavor I haven't tasted in 18 years. I could be off in my memory.

    I agree about the calories. 220 is a lot. I usually stay with the quest bars that are around 160. But sometimes I use these to replace a candy bar I might otherwise want. So a butterfingers may have 250 calories and this has 220 a butterfingers doesn't have 21g of protein.

    220 is no big deal for calories. I eat my extra calories from exercise. I don't eat protein bars frequently, but every once in awhile.
