We all want a protein bar/snack that tastes more like a sweet treat, right? Well, I know that I do! And, for this reason, I have a very hard time finding a protein bar I can tolerate. Well, for this reason AND my rules for protein bars... I hold a protein bar to a certain set of standards and it makes it harder to select one as so many of them just won't measure up! This one does and is yummy to boot! While it may not be a Snickers bar, it is about as close as I figure a protein bar can come! And, it has NO protein taste or after-taste. That is big for me! This bar, one of the Advantage Caramel bars, is nutritious and delicious!
