Has anyone tried built bars? Are they worth the price? If so, what is your favorite flavor?

    I can't answer but I've been thinking about trying them since I'm looking for a replacement for my beloved Quest Beyond Cereal Bars. Some people in this thread https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10064318/new-products-that-caught-your-eyes-recently#latest have tried them so you might want to do a more targeted search for the posts.

    Yes! I love the salted caramel, coconut and chocolate creme ones. They are better refrigerated or frozen and they dont get frozen solid. The inside is sort of like a marshmallow or a nougat consistency. If you dont refrigerate or freeze them, you can really taste the erythritol in them.

    You should try a free sample of built bars, you can get a 6 pack sampler for free!

    Thank you

    A few have reviewed in the new products that caught your eye thread. I personally liked 2 of the flavors, but wasn't crazy about them as much as others. Some people rave about them though, so it's worth a try!

    I really like the raspberry and orange ones. The more you purchase, the more the price goes down. A lot of protein, for the calories. I would suggest getting the sample assortment.

    Hey Noreen! How did you get a free pack? :)

    And to OP: Yes, they're great! Nougat inside and a real chocolate shell. They're more like a candy bar with added protein. I think of it as a sweet treat rather than a meal replacement. My favorite flavors are strawberry, rapsberry, and coconut. Salted caramel is really nice too. The only one I didn't like was mint because it's a strong, toothpaste kinda mint, but that's just my opinion :)

    I love built bars. My fave is coconut and chocolate. I have some strawberry coming in the mail that I'm really excited to try. I think you can get a sample box using the code jennswwsample for $7

    The only ones I like were strawberry and orange, and I wasn't a fan of the texture.

    I loved them! First off, you have to like dark chocolate. Most of the complaints I've read were either based on bitter aftertaste (dark chocolate can be bitter, but I didn't notice any bitterness) & an off-putting texture. I happen to enjoy both! The texture of the inside is marshmallowy...like the marshmallow santas or bunnies you get during the holidays. Is the price worth it? meeeeehhhhh, idk...for me it's not. I loved them, but after I used up all my trial discounts, I quit buying. Maybe if you have more disposable income than we do 🤷‍♀️

    I have gotten three orders so far. I received all three orders within 3 days of ordering. Most recent I received today, 3/23. Placed the order 3/21.

    I really like them. I don’t think the chocolate is bitter at all, actually seems like semi sweet dark chocolate.

    Yes! I love them! I tried the coconut and the raspberry. Delicious. Cures my chocolate cravings. I freeze them.

    Because of this thread, I ordered a 16 count box a few days ago so I could try all nine flavors. I was impressed by the amount of protein you get for the calorie amount. Reading more responses, I'm even more excited to try them now because I love dark chocolate. It says they'll arrive on 3/29 though, so I'll report back next week if this thread is still going.

    Ugh, nevermind. It said let them know a month in advance and I only added a week.

    I already accidentally redeemed the $5 off coupon. I wonder if that'll stay good another month.

    All is good. Yay! I emailed (cuz I'm working in between playing) and they were quick to get back to me and credit the birthday points.

    These better be good! :)

    Now, if only I could get free samples of the 110 calorie Detour bars. I tried but they didn't even answer my email but, of course, I'm getting the discount emails from them now. :)

    Edited because I'm rude.

    Thanks for the tips, @Noreenmarie1234!
