BSN Protein Crisp Bar, Protein Snack Bars, Crunch Bars with Whey Protein and Fiber, Gluten Free, Peanut Butter Crunch, 12 Count (Packaging May Vary)

The taste is great - almost exactly like a rice crispy - and the protein content is good too!

Great flavor and filling sans the tar that most protein bars taste like.

Macros, Flavor, and size are all on point.

One of my favorite high protein snacks. The texture isn’t great, but it taste great and makes it easy to get high protein with low calories.

I’ve tried all of these bars except for the mint chocolate chip. I absolutely loved almost every single one, and these and the other one that isn’t my favorite (theee, chocolate chocolate one, forget the name) ALSO took me by surprise with how much flavor is in them. How authentically chocolate the chocolate one is, I wasn’t disappointed. But my favorites… are immaculate!My favorites would definitely beee, the peanut butter one, the salted toffee caramel one, and the vanilla marshmallow one. Incredible and I do not think one tops the other with these three in particular. When I first tried the vanilla marshmallow, my first time trying these bars, I actually would say that these are the best out of ANY marshmallow-flavored rice crispy treat of any other kind. They have an amazing vanilla taste. They are a little bit sweeter, of course marshmallow AND vanilla. So I certainly wouldn’t eat these on a completely empty stomach. But my god they are incredible. The toffee caramel is probably my ultimate favorite if I were to pick one. You don’t even taste the protein in really any of these it’s crazy. The peanut butter, is a really delicious peanut butter flavor. It’s like Reese’s if memory serves, and these are so good that it does satisfy my craving for a candy bar. They do.Sometimes I give in despite trying to save them for after workouts and I take one or even two to snack on and even when I HAVE normal candy there were quite a few times that I preferred these! They’re THAT good. They’re a very decent size, which I’m very grateful for considering that, like most every protein-based product is quite expensive. Considering that many products are about the same price or more and that they’re way easier and tastier to “prepare” for myself than a protein shake, SO worth the price. Delicious.

Purchased the Vanilla Marshmallow flavor to include as gifts for basketball players goody bags. Was not sure how they'd taste so tried one myself. I thought it was excellent, tasted just like a rice krispy treat, so I gave a piece to my 17 yr old son to try, he loved them. I then brought another one to cheer practice and had my 12-15 yr old cheerleaders each take a small piece, they all loved them and asked if we could include them in their goody bags as well. Needless to say, I will be buying another box b/c I know I'll be handing these out at upcoming practices!

BSN protein crisps have long been a favorite of mine! Great flavors, great texture. Mint chocolate chip were the best! I had the last one from the box this morning that had a packaging defect (not from here) so I tossed it and opened the box I got from Amazon. I took one bite and was met with an unfamiliar taste. I went to check the exp date because it was so gnarly, but immediately noticed calories listed as different than I’m used to seeing. They saved 40 cals and a couple grams of carbs, same sugar and protein, but the taste massively suffers. Maybe if you’ve never had them before and don’t have a flavor in mind, you may not be as disappointed, but this was a big miss for me. Will not be purchasing that flavor again and will be cautious (read: buy one tester bar at a time at GNC or something) on the rest of the flavors I liked. I was so disappointed as the item here said “reorder,” but is a different product (different macros and ingredients). I can only hope they go back to the original formula for this.

Texture - Breaks apart VERY easily but not brittle. Held together well. It's basically like eating a rice krispie treat that was made without too many marshmallows. theres a swirl coating on top and the bottom is fully coated with sweet frosting.Flavor - I'm reviewing peanut butter crunch. I'm a nut butter addict - I eat at least 10 tablespoons a day, but anyways....the peanut butter flavor here is very very faint. its more of an aftertaste but its there. a stronger peanut butter taste would have been nice or straight up peanut butter as the coating (which would have increased the macros a bit) but I'm not complaining. it was still delicious. I don't know what I would call this flavor, but its sweet and good.Macros/Ingredients - There are some subtle differences in the macros across the flavors but they're all pretty much the same. The macros in these bars are competitive with most non MRP protein bars out there. These bars do use Maltitol syrup (Sugar alcohol) but its only 6grams, which is far below the max threshold for most people (30grams) in 1 shot before they get mudd butt. This gets the sweetness without adding in too much sugar. The protein sources are comprised of: Whey Isolate, whey Concentrate and milk concentrate. Pretty solid combo of quality protein. There's also soy protein isolate but not part of the blend and the fear behind soy protein is far overblown. There's some other fillers in there but seriously...who cares - its stuff you'll find in most packaged goods.Value - Outside of sales, $19.99 is a pretty good deal for 12 bars around 50-60grams. Most 12 ct boxes go for around $24.99 these days.Wrap Up - I know there are other 'rice crisp' based bars out there but this is my first one and it really blew me away. The texture was a nice change from the protein bars currently in my stash (nitrotech/combat/mission1/thinkthin/venture/cellucor/fitjoy/optibar) and I probably ate this entire bar in less than 90 seconds. The flavoring didn't really match the label flavor but I'll let it pass since it was good.10/10
