Review of 'Clif Builder's Bar' Chocolate

Clif Builder' Bar -- Chocolate (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Summary: this is a super chocolatey, perfectly sweet, pretty filling high protein, wholesome snack bar for very active folks. They really aren't cheap with the chocolate coating. It has a wafer texture on the inside that makes for a really nice chew; still dense though, which I liked. I am recommending this tasty and fitness-friendly bar. I'd definitely buy this again.
