A year ago, I commited myself to losing weight. I discovered these bars at Costco (unfortunately, they no longer carry them). I eat one for breakfast every day. I also bring a bunch with me when I am travelling so I don't have to eat junk food on airplanes etc. These are so filling and so large compared to other bars. I love that they are also gluten-free. They do taste like a candy bar - that's the best part! I don't feel like I am dieting. This is my favorite flavor, although I also eat the Brownie Crunch to mix it up. You will not be disappointed! I've gotten many friends and coworkers to eat these too. Everyone loves them!

I have eaten various protien bars on the market for well over 15 years. The ThinkThin Chunky Peanut Butter bars have the best taste, excellent texture and fill me up when I need it.

I highly recommend them. I buy them by the box and if I could find a place where I could buy them by the case with a bigger discount, I would.

I love thinkThin bars (especially the chunky peanut butter) and buy them all the time at Trader Joe's. When Amazon had a "Deal of the Day" for them at a discounted price, I immediately ordered two boxes (and signed up for a subscription because their price seemed a little better than Trader Joe's.) Unfortunately, the two boxes of Thinkthin bars I received were so stale they were inedible - the bar was covered with a white powder and fell apart into dusty crumbs when I broke off a piece to check the inside condition. Like an idiot, I actually decided to taste the bar just to make sure the appearance was not deceiving - I really do love these bars and my mouth was watering for one! YUCK - the taste was horrible and I couldn't seem to wash it away! Amazon doesn't allow food returns, so I've contacted customer service and asked for my money back. I want a full refund - and I've cancelled my subscription. So, buyer beware - thinkThin bars are great, but you apparently have to be careful where you buy them. And sometimes a seemingly great "deal of the day" is not that great.

Sorry, folks, but it looks like I'm the only Amazon purchaser of this product who thinks it is absolutely terrible. The peanut butter flavor is barely discernible, and after every bite, there is an absolutely horrible chemical after taste. I can't put my finger on it, but it is truly nasty. (I also bought a box of the Cookies 'n Creme, and they actually tasted even worse!)
Please understand, I have no hidden agenda, but honestly if you're looking for a great tasting energy bar I highly recommend the Kashi Go Lean Peanut Butter bars. Admittedly, they are much chewier, but at least they taste like peanut butter and they don't leave that disgusting after taste. Sorry, just my opinion.

I normally purchase this item in stores but thought I would add to my first Amazon order.
I was happy to see you offered them.
Clearly they wer old and stale and should not have been offered.

ThinkThin are great bars. Amazon delivers either stale bars or bars that have been left in a hot warehouse. I used to take delivery monthly -- no more! The last 2 shipments were bars that were so dry that they crumbled when the package was open. I cancelled my standing order.

We love these bars because they are low sugar and high protein for a reasonable amount of calories. However, some of the bars seem to be old or dried out, and one bar was very strange looking with spots all over it. I couldn't find an easy way to get a partial refund or replacement of only one out of ten bars, so that one bar was simply a waste of money. The product itself is excellent, but we're unsure whether we ultimately save money by buying it from Amazon when we may randomly have to throw away bad bars.

Bottom line: awesome product, but there are some issues with quality control.

Clearly were old/stale and had a weird chemical aftertaste. Filling if you're traveling and don't want to eat junk food but really need to be "washed down".

I actually have these protein bars on subscription because I enjoyed them so much and the price was right.

I usually eat one before going for a run, and I'm still not getting sick of the taste at all. They are no candy bar by any means, but they still taste great in my opinion. They aren't too big (which is great if you are going to run and don't want to have a full stomach) and they pack 20g of protein...

Bottom line: If you want a candy bar, go buy a candy bar. If you want a great tasting protein bar (by protein bar standards) then this is a solid choice.

These are delicious! They make a great replacement for other sweets - like candy bars and cookies - the things that are usually my downfall on any diet. These bars helped me stick to a healthy diet and add more protein to my snacks. I have lost more than 10 lbs with the help of these bars combined with smart food choices plus regular strength training and cardio. I highly recommend these bars!
