How sweet are these granola bars? Do they taste like dessert?

Some are sweeter than others. It depends on the flavor that you select. I wouldn't quite put them in the dessert category, but they are very tasty. However, when I ordered mine from Amazon they were stale. I recommend you buy them at your local grocery store to try them.

Overall, no. In my opinion they taste a lot like trail mix. One of the flavors is pretty sweet, but not sugary - just sweet dried fruit - like the Macadamia/Apricot.

It depends on your overall diet. We do not consume much sugar so to us they are very sweet.

They are delicious and the flavors vary in sweetness, yet they are not sugary. Generally, they have natural flavor. For some people they may taste like dessert, but to me it's like any time tasty and healthy snack.

fruit & nut taste-- not my idea of granola and definitely not dessert. But have not tried the Mac/Apricot ones.

The bars are very tasty to me. The blueberry and cranberry bars are probably sweeter than the ones without the fruit, but they are all good. You just have to try them and decide which ones suit you best.

They don't taste super-sweet, just naturally sweet. I tend to eat them as snacks rather than dessert.

The apricots make it a nice combination of sweet and tart. Guess it depends on your concept of dessert!

No. They are soft and pliable not crisp like baked ones. They are good but like I said not crispy

No, they are as sweet as any other lollipop.They are not a good choice if you are looking for sugar free.

No they don't. But they are not really sweet and the calories are minimal. I love them because they really work!

Yes, it's a soft chewy - so of like a caramel. My girl likes them: I have to give her one, as dessert, after every meal(breakfast, lunch and dinner). Wish they came in larger bags!

Hmm...good? Is that a flavor? They are sweetish & maybe berry....either way they are not offensive like other brands I have tried. Some brands even hurt my mouth! These are great!

I don't think they have been. They're not very sweet. They are, however, quite sticky and have tiny seeds in them which stick to your gums and and teeth. Hope this helps!

I haven't tried baking with these, but they are great when you're hiking and craving protein, but there is a slight after taste to them. I think they would not be the best choice for baking.....

These are the best of the Quest bars IMHO. They are chewy with chocolate chunks. The bar has substance and you do feel like you have eaten something when you have this bar unlike other bars.

No, they are not. They are corn syrup, and high corn syrup free, though! Definitely sweet, but from the fruits that make them, so no, not sugar free.

I am not sure. I highly doubt it...They are def. not sweet! sort of bitter actually.

Not sure what the one person that answered was talking about--these taste really bad...certainly nothing like a regular, delicious and sweet candy bar. they start out with an ok flavor, but as you chew the center there's this really bad/fake taste that comes out strong...this is what i imagine dog biscuits taste like. but whatever, they're fairly low calorie for a lot of protein and yet weigh in at a hefty 50g...so i wouldn't expect them to "taste great." to be fair, i'm a "foodie" and love great flavorful food. but i also eat light sometimes and workout often. for comparison, my protein shakes i make with water, as well as other protein bars i've bought, taste much better than these.

Hi, Robert -No, these are quite sweet, but they are NOT coated with sugar. They are as naked as the day they were born. Picked. Whatever.I think you're referring to my favorite Christmas treat from childhood, a date with a quarter-pecan inserted, and then rolled in pure tooth-corrupting sugar. Makes me wonder how I survived...;)Anyway, I will offer some specifics:1) Some are dryer than you will like; these chop nicely into oatmeal or other fare.2) Some are plump and juicy.3) Use a paper towel, because your fingers WILL be sticky. Or use a toothpick, I suppose.4) Get the kids hooked on these, and you'll never buy another KitKat.Hope that helps! Hi, Robert -No, these are quite sweet, but they are NOT coated with sugar.

They do not look like it, nor taste like it. I believe they do not have added sugar. On the other hand, I found them to be excellent.

They are not crunchy like a biscuit treat but I wouldn't describe them as a soft treat along the lines of a Zukes Mini Natural or the like. They are of a fairly firm and chewy consistency but still easy to break with the fingers. If the bag has been opened for quite a while though they dry out and get relatively hard.

If I remember they are 40 grams or 1.5 oz of pure deliciousness! For comparison a a standard size Hershey bar is 1.5 oz. but not as delicious. Hope that helps.

keep in mind these bars are sadly directed as much to snack folks (candy) as they are to athletes seeking easy supplemental protein. having said that they do satisfy if you like chocolate and peanut taste. good with coffee. not the very best in health - but the best of the ones on the market. hope that helps
