Review of 'Clif Bar' Cool Mint Chocolate

Clif Bar -- Cool Mint Chocolate (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4/5
Summary: legitimately minty, though not too minty! It's sweet and chocolatey, so it's true to the 'cool mint chocolate' flavour. There's also an icing drizzle that makes for a nice texture. I would recommend this bar, but as I'm not a big mint fan, I'd opt for some of the other flavours (e.g. peanut butter!!!).
