Cliff S'mores Builder's Bar

We discussed Builder's Bars.  They are great.  But how does the S'mores flavor stack up to the Chocolate flavor?


Adequately.  It's probably not quite as good, but it is still sweet, chocolatey, and delicious (for a protein bar).  Note that there is no way to compare this to real chocolate or to real s'mores.  It is a protein bar.  But if you want a protein bar, this is a good bet.

Bottom Line: A trustworthy line of products.

NuGo Dark Chocolate Chocolate Chip Protein Bar, Cliff Chocolate Builder's Bar, Cliff Chocolate Chip Protein Bar, Go Free Dark Chocolate Crunch Protein Bar, and Silk Chocolate Soy Milk

Here is a quick rundown of the vegan protein bar situation:

 

We already discussed Nature Valley -- its great.  But it's hard and crumbly and... its own thing. 

The Builder's Bar, made by Cliff, is sort of the vegan staple.  People live off the stuff.  And it's actually really good, for a protein bar (vegan or otherwise).  This isn't a fine chocolate experience, but it's yet another way to eat chocolate as a meal.

I should add that the Builder's Bar is way better than Cliff's Chocolate Chip bar (seen in the background).  It is about twelve thousand times chocolatier and does not taste like medicine.  Hooray?

The NuGo (above) and the Go Free (below) were both fine.  One was notably better, but I don't remember which.  Neither was as good as the Builder's bar.


Lastly, I should note that while I really don't like soy milk, the Silk Chocolate Milk is actually pretty delicious.

Bottom Line: The more you know, vegan edition.
