I've purchased 4 boxes of Bobo's Oat Bars in the Chocolate variety from Amazon in the past month. An acquaintance had told me how delicious they were, so I took a chance and purchased my first box before I embarked on a trip, planning to take some along for the journey. Unfortunately for my wallet, every person but one to whom I gave a bar loved these, so I sent some a box to enjoy. Prior to my first purchase, I did not realize these are soft, sort of brownie like in texture, a little sweet in a molasses sort of way (no molasses in the recipe, though), crumbly, and with two servings in a single bar. Fortunately, I placed a bar in a small resealable plastic bag for the airplane trip, so I was able to break off a little piece any time I felt hungry. That bag was a saving grace because when a bar was gone, I replaced it with another and you won't believe how often I pulled out that little bag. I ordered the first box as a gift after I put a little bite into my father's mouth while he was busy enjoying himself at a slot machine and I realized that he needed to keep these on hand for him and Mom to have on the days they go out. For those who have few teeth, these are edible because of the soft texture, yet they provide an enjoyable flavor. Hiker's took these along for a day trip, not worrying about the double serving per package, happily eating the entire bar. As they put it, they felt like they had a brownie along for the trek, much more enjoyable than other bars they'd taken in the past. One sister has enjoyed these on days when she's been unable to break for lunch at work, having them with coffee or tea and some deep breaths. Without eggs, butter or flour, they are terrific, even though Earth Balance has never been my favorite flavor. I'll admit that I was expecting a firmer bar with visible chocolate chips, but after the surprise of a crumbly moist baked good with a not very sweet cocoa flavor, I was hooked. I will gladly try the other varieties when I can find them for a lower cost than over two dollars per bar. A retail value of about thirty dollars is too high for a dozen bars, so I've deducted a star from this review. The one friend who did not love her Bobo's Oat Bar thought it tasted like cardboard and she claimed to have forced it down at work. She loves the SOYJOY bars which I do not care for, so I guess the world is balanced.

Taste good, but they're very dense and slightly dry. They're not the favorite, but they do provide good energy.

These are sooo darn good, I can't be without them now. While there are some other protein bars that are great and offer a "chocolate flavor coating"- I love how these can get warm and not melt, taste great regardless of temperature, large enough to share or save half for later. I've tried the lemon ones as well- they are good but just don't beat the peanut butter version for me.

Fresh and taste great

Thick dense heavy and makes you full. You think they are just like yuck - but then you get into it and wow - I just crave these. I like the Green one best - I do not like coconut - but these are not like that. When you are hungry and want super health - get into these - YUM! Blue is a bit bland - a bit dessert sweet. Think of that with chocolate - that is the chip one. Green is a knockout - SO addictive. These are for sure an entire meal in a bar. Great for a bug out bag, hiking, or a whole (heavy) meal any time. Also - compared to so many diet foods - the price is great - these actually fill you up. I literally crave these and then can't even finish a whole one - they are not huge in size - but wait until you try - they eat like a meal. Great job!!!
