Sent a couple of these boxes to a buddy of mine in Iraq. He loved them so I got some for myself. Best tasting energy bar I ever had.

I like both flavors of the HOOAH! Energy Bar. I especially love the chocolate. And yes, I see that the first ingredient is corn syrup, so it's a sugar, however I also see that real chocolate is used :) The bar gives me energy, it tastes GREAT--which is something I truly CANNOT say about a lot of other bars---It is NOT MESSY, not covered in chocolate, but rather the chocolate is in the recipe, so it's in the bar itself, and not on your hands or clothing. In my "chocolate lover's opinion" a "HOOAH!"-of-a-lot better! in taste than some other bars. It's a great energizer, and it tastes great. Mission accomplished. And for fans of anysoldier dot com who might be sending packages to U.S. Soldiers, it's nice to toss a couple in a "snack" package...or just send a whole box. I like this product! And I even like the silver packaging too.

I was just in South Africa and had taken a box of Hooah bars, in case.
I ended up eating one sometimes two a day, the food in Africa being often too spicy for my taste. I ended up loosing weight, having sustained energy throughout a pretty grueling trip and many hours jet lagged.
Somehow, it helped me maintain a great attitude and a positive onlook throughtout my trip. I don't know if the bars had anything to do with my mental clarity and overall emotional balance...but I really think it did...I will never travel without them.

Although developed by the military, this bar isn't limited to the battlefield. It is great for maintaining a steady supply of energy at work, and especially while traveling on business. It really shines when you have to skip breakfast or lunch, are running for your plane, under pressure to meet deadline, or are simply stuck in hours-long meetings -- all while having to maintain your edge. The energy is consistent, steady, and doesn't drop off when you least expect it. Plus, it tastes great, with a light crunch and real chocolate flavor.

I was offered one of these while cycling and thought it was very tasty. So good, in fact, that when I got home I went straight to the web site show on the back of the wrapper to learn where I could buy them. Just above the web address is the nutrition and ingredients list. That was probably a mistake on the manufacturer's part as it gives you something to read while the site comes up. OOPS! This bar has a whooping 25% of your daily allowance of saturated fat! Not only that, but the fat is palm oil.

This might be acceptable for a soldier involved in prolonged strenuous activity but I doubt a cardiologist would recomend it to most of us. A commercially formulated product is more likely to fill the average person's need for a lower fat (and healthier fat) energy bar, than one formulated for extreme physical activity, sold for profit and marketed as a patriotic tribute to the troops. Bottom line: Read the label, weigh the health risks and if you want to support the troops, there has to be a better way than eating Hooah Bars.

Hooah bars are the best and they actually do what they ay they do....give energy that is LONG lasting. I eat them while biking and hiking or for lunch when I am in a hurry. I highly reccomend them!

I'm a 59-year-old woman, and these bars are a godsend! I don't notice any difference at all until I get in the middle of doing something and realize that I haven't had to stop to rest, or I do something and still feel like doing something else. It's no exaggeration to say they've changed my life.

Again, I am a fan of the Hooah Bar, even more so now that I have finally been able to try the Peanut Butter Bar. At first taste, this bar reminded me of the candy that my "Pappy" used to share with me when I was a child. This bar tastes like a "Bit-O-Honey" or "Mary Jane." It tastes like a treat, but still gives me the energy and stamina that I need to make it through a busy day. I would highly recommend this member of the Hooah Family. Keep Up the Good Work, HOOAH.

I travel a lot on business, the HOOAH! energy bar is the best - it is the only one that can survive in a briefcase for days or even weeks and then be instantly in hand and then consumed and enjoyed. If the army can take it to Iraq, then I can certainly take it to Korea, Taiwan, and yes, even to the heart of Silicon Valley - San Jose.

I highly recommend this bar for anyone that is looking to stash some food in their briefcase/luggage for those times when you are unable to get enough to eat or need some extra energy.

Since I heard about the hooah bar several months ago, I have been relying on it - in both flavors - to supplement my busy schedule. I need quick, efficient, good-for-me meals. I've tried most bars on the market and couldn't stand either (1) the taste, (2) the texture, (3) the price, or (4) the aftermath of those other bars (some bars left me hungry or just disatisfied, other bars gave me an unsettling rush ... ) The hooah bar tastes great, goes along well with morning coffee/tea, is reasonably-priced compared to many bars and actually provides me the meal-replacement sustenance I need. I love them! (I would recommend the apple cinnamon for breakfast and the chocolate crisp for afternoon snacks.)
