Have you tried them? They are all the rage in my WW meetings.
I ordered the 16 pack variety. So far, I ate the coconut chocolate and it was really good! They are big, chewy/gooey consistency inside, 3 pts each.
Not cheap. $32 for a box of 16, I got $6 off my first order.

I tried the sample pack and the taste was ok but the texture was just weird, to me.
The marshmallow like texture to the filling really did not do it for me lol

The texture IS weird, I am not sure if I like it or not. The taste is good. Some people in my meeting said they put them in the fridge. I may do that today.

Jennifer, Thanks for reminding me that I want to try these. I saw a YouTube video and someone had a coupon code for a discount on the sample box. I think I'll try to find that and order them.

hallian yes for sure get the coupon. So far I had the coconut and the lemon. There wasn't much coconut flavor or lemon flavor. The chocolate coating is really good, the filling flavor is weak. They are big for 3 points, I really like that.

I looked online and it is builtbar.com. I looked at them. The flavors weren't that compelling. I like Quest Bars. Currently I am enjoying the chocolate peanut butter smash which is 190 calories, 20 g of protein (4 SP).

Kitty, I get the impression that the Built Bars are more of a candy bar versus a protein bar, although they are high in protein and low in SP. I've ordered them, so I'll know better after I try them. I've heard the chocolate on the outside is really good and very candy bar like. I agree Quest Bars are good. I've enjoyed all the different ones that I have tried.

The chocolate coating is very good. |

Jennifer , I got these today. I tried the Orange Chocolate Creme since it was on the top.  Shared it with my husband. We agree the chocolate is very good. The filling texture doesn't bother us although it is different. A thick marshmallow texture? Gelatin is one of the ingredients. The flavor was good, but I love chocolate and orange. It doesn't have a bad aftertaste, but the orange flavor did linger awhile. Jury is still out. Will have to decide if the other flavors are good. I wasn't craving chocolate today, but I think these would satisfy a chocolate craving. Maybe tomorrow.
I think putting them in the frig or freezer would be a good thing. I'll probably try that.

hallian I put them in the freezer, felt like I could lose a filling or a cap eating them.I like them out of the fridge the best. I like all the flavors and I do think they'd satisfy a chocolate craving, it's a full size bar that helps too. I'll order them again, I just saw a code for $10 off a box of 16.

Grrrrrr..... my dog ate my built bar.
My fault for leaving it unattended but STILL, I took 1 bite, set it down and went to grab a folder maybe 30 seconds.. she took it and ran to her crate.

So far I've tried the Orange Creme bar at room temperature which had a good taste. The filling texture is odd, but not bad. The chocolate candy outside is very good. Today I tried the Salted Caramel which had been refrigerated. I like it cool, but the taste doesn't grab me. Disclaimer, I'm not a fan of salted-caramel. It was just the bar closest to the outside and I reached in and grabbed the first one. The filling texture is better after being in the refrigerator. Not so sticky. Definitely better cold. So far I would not buy these again, but I still have 4? flavors to try so who knows. I'll keep posting my opinions just in case anyone is curious about these. Anybody else have a favorite flavor or flavor recommendation?
ETA: These are in no way filling. They are just good for a candy bar craving. IMO

I love the blueberry, s'mores and oreo ones the best. |

I keep avoiding this thread because my absolute all time never will be surpassed candy bar is a Rocky Road and everytime someone mentions the Built Bar and their marshmallow center I think of these.  So if anyone knows anything that tastes like that ^^^ for less than 150 calories I'd really appreciate it. 🤣🤣🤣 |
