Bobo's Oat Bars All Natural Bar Chocolate Chip - 3oz, 110048

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.

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.

I had been hooked on Clif Bars for years (cool chocolate mint, if you must know). But the prices on those have gotten to the point where I can’t see the value any longer, especially for a 2.4 ounce bar. Add in that these bars never really looked or tasted all that great and my eyes began to wander.I stumbled on Bobo’s Bars at a Sierra Trading Post. I bought a twelve pack and never looked back. These bars are bigger—3 ounces. They’re denser and heartier and, to me, more satisfying. Still loaded with sugar and probably better thought of as a meal replacement or a candy bar, but I like the texture and flavors. They’re also gluten free and vegan if that’s important to you. The key is finding them for $2 a bar or less. I wouldn’t pay full price.Ultimately, these are a solid breakfast go-to, or a lunch on the run. If you’re tired of pressed-fruit Larabars and cardboard Clif Bars, give Bobo’s a try. They’re altogether different, more like a thicker squishier granola bar. Or more like a British flapjack, if you know what those are. See what you think!

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.

The product itself is great. My daughters and I love these things. Just beware that when they ship it to you, it could show up in a bag and not a box and have been trampled. This was my recent experience.
