    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.

    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 .

    Ha! I do that every time :D

    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.

    Just ordered a box based on everyone's comments (and a mixed box of chocolate quest bars). Can't wait for them to arrive - it'll be like an early Christmas at my house!! :)

    I bought two when I hit up GNC.

    I love Quest bars...

    But I hate those.

    Terrible

    Gimme the chocolate chip cookie dough or chunk

    Honey bun is good too

    Pumpkin is nasty

    I think I passed on them because of the nuts. I'm not a nut fan at all. I still love all of the none-nutty Quest bars though :smile:

    My GNC (Canadian) just got them and I bought two to try, and now I wish I'd gotten the box. I liked it a lot. My favourite flavours are the cinnamon-y ones like apple pie, banana nut muffin, and cinnamon roll, so I probably shouldn't have been surprised, though.

    I might go back and get a box anyway while they still have them even though I have two full ones at home right now.
