MMMM I love premier protein bars, but have never tried these! How were the cookies and cream and peanut butter?(I don't like mint)

Noreenmarie-

I actually don't like mint much either but the mint was pretty good. Not too strong. I was actually going to trade them with someone else who loves mint but I might keep them. The cookies and cream was yummy. I am trying the peanut butter tonight. Save the best for last!

Found these at Walmart, though they're new to me. Per bar, it was about $0.30-0.50 cheaper than Quest (Quest bars run about $2.50-2.75 depending on the location), but the additional $0.30 really makes Quest bars taste better. I didn't really care for the stevia (I could really taste the stevia, when I can't taste sucralose), the bars were much harder than Quest's, and the chocolate chip pieces didn't taste like real chocolate (it was like hardened chocolate-flavored water).

I would get these again in a pinch (or if I want to be cheap), but Quest still wins in terms of taste. Walmart was also selling the Atkins Lift bars (they also have macros similar to Quest's), but I'm scared to try them when they're at least $0.20 more expensive per bar than Quest.

These are really good. Going to use them for preworkout.

I second that these are not very good. They are also made with that soluble corn fiber which I cannot stand the taste of. I don't like quest anymore, but would even prefer quest current to these. I tried the cookies and cream too, not good and had an odd aftertaste.

These bars just flat out suck!

I've tried this flavor & the Cookies & Cream & both had practically no flavor whatsoever.

These have caught my eye pretty much every time I've gone to TJs since I moved here last August. I finally got them, as my "yay finals are over" celebration. They're not *bad* but they're not really what I hoped, either. It's definitely a dark chocolate ganache on the top, rather than a frosting. I also like my peanut butter frosting (the filling) to be a bit sweeter and a bit saltier - this tasted more like peanut butter than peanut butter frosting. Overall, the whole thing is not very sweet and has a quite intense chocolate flavour. I can imagine these being amazing if you're in the mood for that. But, since I really had a craving for a sugar overload, I will make my own cupcakes with PB frosting. I just have to figure out who to give the rest of the batch to, haha.

I only bought those once also. The chocolate are the ones that call my name when I'm at TJ's.

Nothing worse than looking forward to something and being disappointed!

There's so many great bakeries selling donuts and cupcakes here, I just can't do the mass produced stuff.

Yeah, that's the main reason I never bought them! I love to bake and have recipes for dark chocolate cupcakes with PB frosting that are way tastier! But I know if I hadn't gotten these I'd feel their pull every time I'm at TJs, so I guess it's good to know. There aren't actually any bakeries at all near me. If there were, I would have gotten a single cupcake there to satisfy my craving.

Glad I saw this after my trip to TJs today, otherwise I might have tried them. I am a big baker but those make me curious! I did buy dark chocolate covered raisins to have in case I need them! Lol

I bought this today... It's super yummy!!!!
