A very good protein bar. The cookies and cream is very tasty, yet it is not too sweet. I find that the Builder's Bar has one big advantage over the regular Clif Bar (other than the protein of course): the Builder's Bar isn't super sweet. I really enjoy the regular Clif Bar but sometimes it leaves me feeling like I just ate a really sweet candy bar. The Builder's Bar doesn't suffer from that. The downside to the Builder's Bar, however, is that it does have a bit of saturated fat. In sum, not a bad bar and much tastier than many of the other protein bars I have tried.

Boy I thought the regular clif bars were great. These builder bars are out of this world! This is the entirely natural, delicious energy, which I prefer at breakfast, or when driving for several hours. Everytime I eat one, my body thanks me :) You can find the bars at lower prices elswhere, such as yahoo, but I shop here all the time too. If you're looking for something nutricious, and really, truly, does taste good, these Clif bars are great. I'm taking a nutrition class right now, and this bar is dynamite. 20 grams of protein is about 1/3 the protien you need for the day. Have a deli sandwhich for lunch, some rice or pasta with a chicken breast for dinner, and you have your great tasting diet. I'm in college, and I am overly satisfied with the quality of these bars. The cookies n cream is the best, then chocolate, and finally pb, all of which are good. enjoy.

Clif Builder Bars are great in my opinion. I like the nutritional value in the bars, and they taste pretty good. I didn't really like the Cookies and Cream flavor however. It seemed to have a little after taste that was hard to stomach. Some may like this flavor, but its not for me.

These bars are quite tasty and are good as a energy boost or desert even. They are a little high in sugar and fat, but if you don't over do it, they are a good choice.

In addition, these bars are made with REAL ingredients so you don't have to wonder about what it is you're eating and won't have to deal with possible indigestion from chemical additives/sugar alcohols.

Just received my box of Cookies and Cream Builder's Bars today, and I'm eating one right now. Everyone knows about the quality of ingredients and that these BB are among the top bars out there (for those who don't, you'll find glowing reviews of all flavors throughout Amazon and on other forums), so I won't go into detail about that.

But I do want to make some comments relevant to those who just want a tasty bar for the sake of a good tasting snack to keep themselves satisfied through the day. I've so far tried Chocolate, Mint Chocolate, Peanut Butter and Chocolate, and now the Cookies and Cream. Tops is Peanut Butter and Chocolate, followed by Mint Chocolate. When it came to choosing between Plain Old Chocolate and the C/C, I have to go with the C/C because of one reason - the C/C is not as sweet as the regular C. The Chocolate is tasty but overly sweet, while the C/C is not quite as tasty but I can deal with it for not being so sweet.

To be fair, the PB/C is also as sweet as regular C but I cannot deny that the PB earns it top honors despite the sweetness. In an odd turn, the Mint C is the go-to choice for me on mornings when I can't decide what I want to fill that 10am - 11:30am gap.

This is a good product. Very tasty and filling while very protein-packed and no trans-fat. I'm not a "builder" but rather a college student on the go. This bar fits in perfectly with my busy school day.

This protein bar is not too sweet. It tastes really great but it is not like a gooey candy bar. Crunchy and really satisfies in the morning.

I use these bars as in between meal snacks and usually as a lunch replacement. I get the chocolate, peanut butter mixed box at a local store but that was getting old and I wanted some new flavor. The Cookies and Cream did the trick. This bar has a good flavor, a bit weaker than what I expected but none the less I will be getting more. I have seen some reviews that stated the bars had past their expiration dates, mine and all of the other bars that I have ever got from Amazon have been well with in the expiration dates.

If you want a good tasting, natural-ish snack with protein, these bars are great. Of course, it'd be best to eat real food, but sometimes when you are out hiking, climbing, etc, that's not the most convenient. These are great for the times you are finishing up a strenuous activity and need recovery snack or taking a break midday and need a little protein and not just carbs.

This isn't like those PureProtein, Detour or ThinkThin bars -- Clif Bars assume you are doing something (not just eating a bar to get extra protein) and need carbs and protein -- so they are higher calorie but that's good when you are about to finish your hike!

The mint flavor is my favorite, but this one is pretty good too.

I'm a big fan of the CLIF Builder's Bars. I'm trying to bulk up, and these help immensely. I eat one about 30 minutes before weight lifting, and they give me a good amount of energy (30g carbohydrate) and muscle building material (20g protein). I don't personally do this, but I think they'd also be great to eat immediately post workout if you're trying to bulk up. The carbs will give you an insulin spike in order to go into an anabolic (building) state, and the protein will provide a good amount of muscle building nutrient.

By no means should these be used for people dieting and trying to lose weight (unless you plan on using it as a complete meal replacement). But even then, I feel like you could get 300 calories in a more sustaining manner.

Personally, I'm a big fan of the Peanut Butter and teh Mint Chocolate Chip flavors, but the Cookies and Cream isn't bad. Give one a try pre-workout, you will not be disappointed!
