okay :) 
2008-07-17
I wouldn't buy these again unless they go on sale again. I got them really cheap on here like 11.50 for the whole box. So i decided what the hell. I bought three boxes of protein bars because I'm currently dieting and always on the go. I also bought luna sunrise bars which i loved!! And clif mojo bars which was my 2nd fave.
These chocolate raspberry bars are ok. The texture is a little weird, it has a fake chocolate taste, and the raspberry taste is pretty light. But I did appreciate that the raspberry's seemed fresh because of the seeds from them in the bars. They are not horrible but if you're looking for good taste and not just a diet bar, I'd go for luna or clif.
Most delicious energy bar out there! 
2008-06-20
I have tried a lot of energy bars and I have to say, Balance cookie dough is the best I have ever tasted. (I'm not saying all the Balance flavors are as good as this one- I have tried and not liked other Balance bars.) But the cookie dough flavored one is awsome. It is covered in chocolate so it's like eating a chocolate bar, except with a lot more nutritional content! Try this bar if you really want a great tasting energy bar.
Delicious and good for you

Of the countless power or meal replacement bars on the market (I've tried most everything), the honey peanut Balance Bars are among the best taste wise. I'm trying to watch my weight and especially what I have for breakfast or lunch. These are tasty, convenient, and better for me than other choices I could make. They are especially good for calorie counters like me also. They are moist, and the chocolate coating on the bar really does taste like chocolate.
Great for kids on the go or who are just picky eaters. 2008-05-27
Hi,
I finally found something that my kid loves and is good for him.
He is a very picky eater and this Balance Bar in the cookie dough flavor is something he will eat everyday. It also gives him the protein and vitamins his growing body needs. We have tried other flavors, but the cookie dough is the best!
Thanks,
Tony
Almost like a real candy bar. 2008-04-24
This is one of the few nutrition bars that my whole family likes, including my 13 year old son. We don't let him have 'real' candy bars often, but he eats one of these Cookie Dough bars daily and is quite happy, while we know that he's getting lots of nutrition from it. Probably the best flavor from Balance Bars.
TASTES LIKE DESSERT 2008-03-26

Balance Bar Cookie Dough 2008-03-09
This Cookie Dough flavor is fantastic! I carry these with me everywhere, they are truly a lifesaver to stave off hunger, and to help maintain my weight. Not to mention the sweet tooth is satisfied with this yummy health bar. Take a chance and try it, if you know the agony of finding a decent health bar you can live with, this one you will not want to live without!
Convenient, flavorful, affordable 2008-03-02
This was the first flavor of Balance Bar I ever tried and it's still the family favorite. It's not too peanut-buttery and not too sugary - it's more like a dense cereal bar with a bit of pb and choc flavor. As a snack for my son these are healthy and worthwhile and it's so easy to store a box in the pantry and grab one when needed. Very filling, and very tasty!
On Balance, One of the Best-Tasting "Nutrition Bars" Available 2008-01-20
I've reviewed a lot of these products, and most have some common flaws: Bad, "unnatural," or chemical-like taste (especially in the metallic after-taste), woefully stale, cardboard-like texture, high fat content, and relatively high price.
Given all the chemicals listed below, it came as a great surprise that this is a DELICIOUS snack, certainly one of the best of the many I've tried. No strange aftertaste, and real hints of honey (the peanut is a little harder to discern). The texture is soft but with some heft, and, on entry one senses honey, sugar, a hint of peanut and oil, and a vague spicy background. IT's excellent, and not as sweet as the similar but too-sugary (for my taste) yoghurt honey peanut flavor.
My only complaints (and this comes from the head, not the taste, Bud) are the plethora of vitamin and mineral additives (just a personal preference there), and the 3.5 grams of saturated fat, and 17 grams of sugar. However, this is within the range, I believe, of most of these products.
On the positive side, you get 14 grams of sugar, and high percentage of the recommended daily values of a range of vitamins and minerals. Have one of these with a 2-3 lasses of water and you will feel full. Also great as a post work-out pick-me-up. Of course, please consult your health care provider for specific recommendations for your personal use.
I'm not sure how they did it, but Balance has set a new bar (pun intended) for taste!

Hooked on Balance Bars 2007-07-27
I don't know about the other varieties of this bar , but the Chocolate Raspberry Fudge bar is great for a meal-on-the-go or a quick lunch. If there is any problem with them it's that they are so good, I could become adicted to them.
