Bobo's Oat Bars (Gingerbread, 12 Pack of 3 oz Bars) Gluten Free Whole Grain Rolled Oat Bars - Great Tasting Vegan On-The-Go Oatmeal Snack, Made in the USA

I've purchased 4 boxes of Bobo's Oat Bars in the Chocolate variety from Amazon in the past month. An acquaintance had told me how delicious they were, so I took a chance and purchased my first box before I embarked on a trip, planning to take some along for the journey. Unfortunately for my wallet, every person but one to whom I gave a bar loved these, so I sent some a box to enjoy. Prior to my first purchase, I did not realize these are soft, sort of brownie like in texture, a little sweet in a molasses sort of way (no molasses in the recipe, though), crumbly, and with two servings in a single bar. Fortunately, I placed a bar in a small resealable plastic bag for the airplane trip, so I was able to break off a little piece any time I felt hungry. That bag was a saving grace because when a bar was gone, I replaced it with another and you won't believe how often I pulled out that little bag. I ordered the first box as a gift after I put a little bite into my father's mouth while he was busy enjoying himself at a slot machine and I realized that he needed to keep these on hand for him and Mom to have on the days they go out. For those who have few teeth, these are edible because of the soft texture, yet they provide an enjoyable flavor. Hiker's took these along for a day trip, not worrying about the double serving per package, happily eating the entire bar. As they put it, they felt like they had a brownie along for the trek, much more enjoyable than other bars they'd taken in the past. One sister has enjoyed these on days when she's been unable to break for lunch at work, having them with coffee or tea and some deep breaths. Without eggs, butter or flour, they are terrific, even though Earth Balance has never been my favorite flavor. I'll admit that I was expecting a firmer bar with visible chocolate chips, but after the surprise of a crumbly moist baked good with a not very sweet cocoa flavor, I was hooked. I will gladly try the other varieties when I can find them for a lower cost than over two dollars per bar. A retail value of about thirty dollars is too high for a dozen bars, so I've deducted a star from this review. The one friend who did not love her Bobo's Oat Bar thought it tasted like cardboard and she claimed to have forced it down at work. She loves the SOYJOY bars which I do not care for, so I guess the world is balanced.

These are sooo darn good, I can't be without them now. While there are some other protein bars that are great and offer a "chocolate flavor coating"- I love how these can get warm and not melt, taste great regardless of temperature, large enough to share or save half for later. I've tried the lemon ones as well- they are good but just don't beat the peanut butter version for me.

My new favorite snack. Very filling and low sugar. Great taste. Perfect for lunches, hiking etc. and very fresh tasting.

Love Bobo's - don't love how they are shipped. The majority of the time, the packaging is destroyed and Bobo's are floating around everywhere.

great little snack

These are my favorite Bobo’s but I can’t find this flavor in town anywhere. It’s definitely more cost effective to buy them in bulk!

Ordered coconut which are really good but, go chocolate. I luv chocolate but, not in this case. We gave them away. The coconut are really good

Love these bars with my morning coffee.

I used to buy these at my local grocery store and they stopped carrying them. I was so happy to be able to order them on Amazon. I have one in my purse all the time so good when you need a snack or as a quick breakfast on the go.

Hard as a rock not fresh. .iv had them before outa the groceries store so yummy and soft not like this old stock

Love this product normally. First time ordering Bobo’s from Amazon. Definitely will not be doing so again. This product arrived so stale they’re basically inedible and as they are not eligible for return, I essentially just flushed $40 down the toilet.

Je viens de recevoir mes barres BOBO'S citron et graine de pavot je suis vraiment déçu ! Ce produit est passé date de 9 mois ! il sons dure et un goût désagréables je pense les échappées dans la poubelle, ces vraiment plate de payé pour ça !

My favourite snack since I discovered them on a New York trip last year. When received, one was missing in the package (11 instead of 12), contact the seller who offered a refund for the missing one right away. Very happy about this purchase.
