Muffin Bakes - Choc Fudge product reviews

I tried these recently. Though I have been a convert to the Muffin Bake bars for a while (Apple and Bran as well as the Carrot cake flavour), I hadn't tried the chocolate ones. So I decided to give them a go.

I should start by saying that I'm not a huge chocolate fan. I do enjoy it from time to time, but it's not my first choice when it comes to cakes, biscuits or muffins. However, my daughter is totally chocolate mad. So I figured that these might be a hit with her.

When I opened the first bar, the smell of chocolate did make me feel pretty hungry.The bar itself is light and spongy, but not so spongy that it would crumble in your fingers. The bar itself is light spongy with a slight chewiness. I missed the fruit filling of my favourite bars. The fudge filling was nice, but a quite sweet to me. My daughter enjoyed the chocolate flavour a lot.

I dont think I would purchase these bars for myself at all. But it would be hard to say I'd never buy these again. My kid enjoyed them and there are very few bars like these that she likes. She doesn't do rolled oats, seeds, and some dried fruits. These were definitely a hit with her.

Great lunch box treat. Great product for those times when you just want a wee naughty snack. Great price. Would like them to be bigger but dont we all?. Great for the kids lunches too. Great tasting just like a muffin with that great muffin texture but in a bar. I'd definitely buy them again. Great chocolatey taste.

As part of a taste-based experiment into alternative snackfoods for those late hours, when I don't want anything too filling, I was trying the range of these Muffin Bake bars.

I found the Choc Fudge bars a little too sweet, and a bit overwhelming. Since I am not a chocoholic (most of the time) I didn't find these too appealing. However, to choc-fiends, these would be nectar of the gods, for sure!

The texture of the muffin and filling were quite nice, with a strong choc rush to be had. Chewy enough to require some jaw action, but not too soft and fall-apart either. A very nice medium-ground was found.

The box was a little hard to see on the shelf, stacked amongst all the other very similarly-coloured boxes out there. (What is with the marketing people? They all seem to be thinking the same. Must be something in the water.)

Overall, though these would not be top of the list of snacks for me, I wouldn't ignore them either. For those times I do want a choco fix, these would rate fairly highly actually.
