Muffin Bakes - Apple and Bran product reviews

Tasti Muffin Bakes are one of my all time favourite snack bars. I've tried just about every flavour except for the chocolate one. I have a great weakness for muffins, and especially enjoy something with a bit of fruit in it. These bars were a revolution for me.

Individually wrapped, and a great size for a morning tea break. I generally keep a box of these in my office drawer for when I get peckish. When you open it up, the muffiny smell combined with a fresh fruity smell hit you. Its subtle, but enough to get your mouth watering. The bar itself is light and spongy, but not so spongy that it would crumble in your fingers.

You take a bite, and that light spongy with slight chewiness, plays on your tongue, along with the fruit middle. I'm not a huge fan of apple. I cant eat a raw apple at all, but I loved the taste of the apple in these. The texture of the fruit middle was just right. Fresh taste, not chewy or hard as some fruit fillings can be. But not tasting overly sugary either.

The cost per box is brilliant too. it doesn't leave you feeling too guilty if you decide to have another muffin bar later. 6 is a good number per box as well. 5 working days a week, 6 bars...means you get an extra one day, when you really need it. Or just when you feel like going for ice cream or a big piece of mud cake thanks to things going pear-shaped, reach for a muffin bar instead. Cheaper and less sinful. But take it into the break room at least! YUM!

I am not the greatest fan of 'Sparrow Food Bars' so when a mate showed me these muffin bars (though he was munching a different flavour - the Carrot Spice variety) I figured these might be a nice thing to try. And I love muffins... so off to the local supermarket I went and bought a box of each variety that showed any appeal.

This variety was the first one I bit into and I was very pleasantly surprised by just how nice and tasty (no pun) they were! Yummo Plus!

The apple filling was moist without being juicy, the muffin surround was very tasty and had a good texture, good colour and had just the right spices to make it highly addictive to my tastebuds! (I munched through the whole box in a single day - snack time = a muffin bar!)

8 bars made it good value, and the visual appeal of both the packaging and the contents were quite impressive, though when stacked on a crowded shelf with a lot of other green boxes, these were a little difficult to see. Everyone seems to be going heavy on green or white packaging in this range it seems.

Overall I would have to rate these some of the yummiest snack bars I have had the pleasure of trying in quite some time. Well done!
