Review:

Calling the flavor of this bar “Chocolate Chip Brownie” is definitely some wishful thinking on the part of EAS. The bar is chocolate with a layer of chocolate on top and covered by a chocolate coating, but none of these “chocolate” parts actually taste like chocolate. Instead, the bar has a chalky texture and artificial flavor. It “burns” slightly on the tongue due to its high sugar alcohol content. But for this trade off in taste, you do get a bar with only 1 gram of sugar that will keep you full for hours.

Pros: Good protein/carb balance, keeps you full, only 1 gram of sugar

Cons: Chalky, artificial taste, low quality sources of protein
