Review of 'Clif Bar' Peanut Toffee Buzz

Clif Bar -- Peanut Toffee Buzz (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: this is a nice, sweet (with a hint of salt), drizzled (icing) protein bar that's chewy and filling. The only downside was the limited peanutty goodness. I would have liked more of an overall peanut flavour than pockets of peanutty-ness. The toffee flavour was also mild. If the peanut/toffee flavours were enhanced slightly, it would have been great! I recommend this bar for the clean ingredients and nutritional profile.
