Quest Nutrition Coconutty Caramel Candy Bars, 12g of Protein, 3g Net Carbs, 1g of Sugar, Gluten Free, 12 Count

These came in a cooled box which I appreciated cause I’m in hot Texas!!! But I’ve had them before and will continue to get because they are fabulous!!!

These just have every flavor I like all in one protein bar. When I get the munchies in the afternoon, I can have one of these and it will tide me over until dinner. Im not real good at tracking the numbers on nutrition labels. But my wife is, and she says these are better for us than the protein bars she had been buying. Its so rare that something I like might also be good for me!

The texture and taste are on point, almost candy-bar-like. The nutritional value is good too. Even my wife likes them, and she hates most protein bars.

Is that legal??? If youve been doing Keto or low carb as I have been for several years now, thats sort of the question you/I find myself asking. Ive used and enjoyed many products from Quest; bars, chips.... Im sort of amused that they come right out and call this a candy bar. Lets be honest; there are lots of protein or nutrition bars out there that really are just that: a candy bar (in disguise). I dont know that this or *any* candy bar can be considered health food, but... everything in moderation, including moderation!. To keep my palate and lust for sweet things happy, and still fit in the clothes I like to fit in, these are a welcome treat and compromise. With 3 grams of net carbs, they dont decimate my stingy daily allowance of carb intake. I was a little surprised at the texture of these. While not like a normal quest protein bar, they were a bit more firm in texture/bite/chew than the candy bars in my memory (its been a looooong time). If I had to rate the firmness, Id call it about a 5.5 - 6 on a 10 scale (10 firmest). I would call a typical candy bar (again from very distant memorys past...) somewhere around a 3.5 - 4 on that same 10 scale. The sweetness is about a 6 - 6.5 on a scale of 10. The intensity of coconut flavor is about a 8.5 on a scale of 10. The intensity of caramel flavor is about a 4 - 4.5 on a scale of 10. The intensity of chocolate flavor is about a 4 on a scale of 10. The coconut flavor really is the star of this show. In all, these are an enjoyable treat to keep me/us on the right, or at least, better, path. Glad I ordered. I hope this review has enabled you to make an informed purchase decision. I rarely give an overall 5 star rating.

Flavor-wise, they tasted great. No complaints here. I picked these up thinking theyd be like a protein / meal-replacement bar but as the name implies they are very much candy bar styled. By that I mean they are sweet, light and easy to eat. Unfortunately, that means theyre almost too easy to eat. When I ate one, I totally felt like I probably could have eaten a second one. As far as nutrition-focused treats go, these were okay. The big differences between this bar and a brand-name almond candy with coconut really come down to protein and fiber. If you need to get about 10 extra grams of both of those, then this would do it. Calories, carbs and sodium are otherwise pretty comparable. For the price I think its a bit much for healthy treats. Id rather just have the real candy and get my protein and fiber somewhere else.

Coconutty Caramel Quest bars are awesome! My new favorite. Tastes like a candy bar minus the quilt.

These are a great way to get some additional protein in your diet. They taste like a candy bar - chewy and delicious - but theres no sugar. Great texture, and they even have 9 grams - yes 9 grams - of fiber. These certainly wont replace real food, but they are a tasty way to supplement, and Id even say that I use these to replace deserts and satisfy my sweet tooth.

I was hesitant to buy these, but I am so glad I did! They legitimately taste like a candy bar!

I have eaten the Quest protein bars for years and was ecstatic when they started making their candy line, especially the peanut butter cups. As I love coconut and caramel, I figured these would be a definite win and ordered immediately. Upon first bite, I was disappointed. I expected the coconut flavor to be strong and the texture to be similar to an almond joy but instead... I got a strong peanut flavor and a crunchy/chewy texture. I thought that maybe this would be a bar better eaten when cold so I put the remainder of the bar in the fridge. Still, it wasnt very good. I would not order these again as I like a regular protein bar more than I like these.

Wouldn’t know it’s a protein bar-dark chocolate- coconut filling with caramel and chopped almonds - now i have to find a place to hide them!
