Jocalat bars

So I have a coupon for these bars, and I wanted to try it out.  First, though, I want to know what your opinions of these are.  For my tastes, I prefer the nut flavors of the original Larabar (I find ones such as Cherry Pie too sweet), and I love really really dark chocolate.  Any inputs?

Bump?

I like the new German Chocolate Cake and Coffee flavors the best

What flavors of the normal Larabars do you enjoy?

I haven't tried all of the Larabar flavors, but the ones that I keep leaning toward are Ginger Snap and Key Lime and Lemon.  I also rather enjoyed the Cocoa Mole one.  Many of the others are a bit cloying, or not appetizing/unique enough for my tastes.

As far as Jocalat goes, I've tried a variety of them but my favorites are the regular chocolate Jocalat and the Chocolate Coffee.  The Chocolate Mint one was good, but not awesome, and the orange one was way too orange-oil-y.  It resembled a bitter rind.  I wasn't too impressed with the hazelnut one, either, or the chocolate cherry (blasphemy, coming from me, the chocolate-cherry fiend!).

If you like mellower, less sickening flavors, I'd suggest the chocolate coffee one.  The coffee balances out the sweetness and still tastes like a dessert.  The plain chocolate one is quite dark as well, like a very rich, lightly-sweetened brownie.  NOM.

Good luck!  You have a tough decision on your hands. xD

Thanks for the advice!  I will try the chocolate coffee one, based off of your recommendations.

Awesome!  I hope you enjoy it. ^_^

Wise choice on the Chocolate Coffee! I am in love with that bar. It is probobly the best out of the Jocalats (I've tried them all, sans German Chocolate) and it has a perfect balance of cocoa and coffee flavors. If you are sensitive to sweets too, it will be great for you since it's not overly sweetened and is rather bitter (in a good way), much like a dark chocolate bar.

I'm not really a fan of the Chocolate Hazelnut (just not very flavorful) or the Chocolate Orange (kind of has a wierd taste going on there...), but the Chocolate Cherry and Mint are also right up there with the best of them! If you're just starting out, you might want to give the original chocolate flavor a try too.

 German Chocolate Cake isn't a Jocalat, technically. It has a regular Larabar wrapper. It tastes just like the Coconut Cocoa bar though. (EDIT: I take that back... German Chocolate IS a Jocalat... I just looked it up. However, if you've had the Coconut one, it's very similiar)

Thanks for all the comments!  My store actually ran out of these, but I will be anticipating for when they come back XD
