Guests are saying
The recent changes to the snack bars have left many guests disappointed, particularly those who loved the original chocolate chunk variety. While some appreciate the new flavors and textures, the consensus is that the bars are now too sweet, smaller, and less satisfying than before. Guests are seeking a return to the previous recipes that offered a more authentic chocolate taste and better overall quality. Despite mixed feelings, some guests still find value in the new options for quick snacks.

Disappointed in new recipe
I was a big fan of the old version in the red wrapper, I used to purchase at least once a month. I just purchased the new version for the first time and it is very sweet and has almost a chemical or soapy taste to it. I'm very disappointed in this recipe. I will be throwing them away and not buying them any more.

Less flavor, more calories, and smaller than befor
Like many people, I’m shocked that you did away with the chocolate chip Kind bars in the red wrappers. That was my go-to snack when I was having a late dinner and needed something to tide me over! Now, I’m scratching my head. The new ones have less chocolate flavor, are very sweet, are smaller, and have more calories! I cannot see any positive side to the change at all. I’m giving it two stars because someone might like it if they never had the original, but I can’t imagine many people who liked the original will like this.

Downgraded
These are a major downgrade from the prior Chocolate Chunk healthy grains bars. While still better than the newer flavors, the chocolate tastes artificial. I dont know what was Kind's motivation to make the change, but its not an improvement.

These are trash
I was a big time fan of the red box Dark Chocolate Chunk Healthy Grains, and the Vanilla Blueberry. I guess they discontinued those and replaced with these. These are AWFUL. So disgusting I threw them out. Tastes like old syrup bars. Too sweet. Something off about them. And they are now LESS HEALTHY than the previous version. What is KIND thinking? Will have to switch to a different brand.

Messy
I love the flavor of these bars but they make such a mess. It crumbles anywhere to the point where it is not worth buying them.

Please bring back red version of these
These are nowhere near as good as the previous chocolate chunk version. I used to eat them everyday for breakfast. I do not care for these enough to buy them again.

Please Bring Back the OLD Ones (Red Wrapper)
Long-time buyer of the former Health Grains Dark Chocolate Chunk (red wrapper) bars. I eat 2 of these as snacks EVERY DAY...ok, I like them. ;) Very sad to see these seem to be going away and replaced with the "Energy" version. It does not taste nearly as good. Lacks the dark chocolate flavor and is too sweet. The blue wrapper "energy" version is simply (and sadly) not as good. PLEASE RECONSIDER this and keep making the RED ONES!!! Thank you :)

Bring back the other Energy bars line, please!
I bought these after Kind seemingly discontinued the other Energy bar line. I assumed (more so prayed) these were going to be equivalent, or better, as I have been eating the others for YEARS, every single day. Sadly, these are nowhere near as good, and I’m not super picky when it comes to granola bars. They’re not filling, I had maybe 1 chocolate chunk in the first one I ate, and they lacked taste in general. Disappointed is an understatement, and this is coming from a very loyal Kind customer. We buy SO many different bars between all of us in my family, and the previous energy line was my every day breakfast, sometimes lunch, and often snack. These will be going in my snack bin for students while I look for another brand to find something similar to the good stuff they just discontinued.

Obsessed!
These are my new obsession! I’m gluten free and soy free (allergy, I can have soy lecithin) and finding good snacks is a challenge. Love the taste and texture. Much better than a normal granola bar.

Same but different
They changed the packaging on these bars, and must have changed the recipe too because they are much “faker” tasting (and have more calories per bar 👎🏻). Also, last month, a box of 15 used to be 8.89 and now this box of 10 is 8.99. Not cool.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was delicious! It falls apart easily, but the taste makes up for that. My stomach stopped growling and I didn’t need to eat for another hour or so. Well worth the price. I highly recommend this, they are sooo good.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Even though I enjoyed the taste and didn't find it too sweet. I felt as if something was missing texture-wise. Felt like it needed something else like fruit either you know raisins or dried cherries or coconut shavings something that provides that chew. It can even be something not wise but that is not too too crunchy more like adding some cashews.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It was tasty but small. Maybe I need to eat smaller portions all around.
