Clif Bar: Chocolate Chip

March 27, 2009 by admin

This is one of those bars that’s been around for a long time – and is really a “classic” of the category. It’s a soft and chewy bar that’s somewhat amorphous in shape. The flavor is a mixture of different ingredients, including soy, rice, chocolate, dates, and oats. They’ve added a lot to this bar, including added vitamins, minerals, and protein (10g total), which makes the nutrition panel look good, but the ingredient list long. That being said, the flavors of this bar are harder to distinguish that some of the more recent entries that pride themselves on having only a few ingredients. Packaging is attractive and outdoorsy, with the powerful Clif logo running across the front. Overall, a classic bar that we still find enjoyable, although we certainly feel as though the category (including Clif’s own offerings) has evolved beyond this product.
