Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Summary: wow, this bar smells divine...but the taste on the other hand...there was a slight stale/artificial/cardboardy (can't quite put my finger on it) aftertaste in my opinion. The chocolate chips, chocolate drizzle, and oat flakes made for a really nice texture and the immediate taste was nice and sweet. I wasn't too clear where the S'more flavour was...I did see white bits, but they weren't really soft or fluffy and didn't taste like S'mores.

So you gotta love all those organic ingredients when you're giving these to your kids...or stuffing them yourself in my case. I felt like I actually tasted the 'organic fig paste' and I'm really happy that the sugars are all natural so that 11g sugar should come as a big scare. Considering that these bars are marketed towards children, I suppose I'll let it slide that there are only 2g protein (also given that it's pretty low-cal).
As regards the flavour though, if not for the kinda stale-ish aftertaste, this wouldn't be a bad bar! But...I was missing the S'more texture and flavour, which was a big disappointment. The texture was nice--soft and chewy; I really enjoyed that part. Still, with all things considered and with all the delicious bars out there, I would not buy this flavour again.
