Review: New, Fiber One Chocolate Mocha Bars

I have been addicted to Fiber One Oats & Chocolate bars for quite some time now. Not only do they taste like an absolute delicious chocolate treat, but they are a treat you don't have to feel guilty about, because these bars are actually healthy!!!

I used to pick these bars up at my local Sam's Club. Recently though while browsing my local grocery store I came across a new slew of flavored Fiber One bars that I didn't know existed.

I had grabbed a box of their Apple flavored bars, and hated them.

This past week I found something new added to the family of Fiber One flavors. I must say though, that I hope Fiber One Chocolate Mocha Bars are limited edition!

Appearance:
 
The newly released bars look pretty similar to the Chocolate & Oats bars, only by the boxes photo they appear to contain something within them that look more gooey. At first glance it resembles melted marshmallow (or something else, that I dare not mention). The top of the bar contains drizzle. I was not sure at first if the drizzle was chocolate or mocha flavored drizzle.

Seeing that I love gulping down a tasty frozen mocha drink every now and then, I figured I would love these bars as well. Best of all I wouldn't have to feel guilty about it.

Out of the Box:
 
Fiber One Chocolate Mocha Bars come individually wrapped in a box of 6. I picked them up for around $3.49, which is usually an excellent deal so long as the bars are actually worth eating.

I peeled off the wrap, and examined the bar. It did not look much different than the Chocolate & Oats bar. It had the same drizzle on top, the same oats and puffed rice pieces that all Fiber One bars contain. I also noticed a small amount of chocolate chips within the bar.

The smell of the bar hit me immediately. It had an inviting aroma of coffee/espresso.
I took one bite and ...

NASTY!!!
 
The Fiber One Chocolate Mocha Bar tasted like pure espresso tar, and it was far too strong to even be enjoyable. The overwhelming overdone mocha flavor made it feel like I was chomping down on old coffee grinds.

I got through that one bite, and threw out the rest of it.

This is the second Fiber One Bar that I found to be completely inedible. The Apple Struesel Bars are nasty as well, but not even half as bad as the Fiber One Chocolate Mocha Bars.

Overall:
 
Skip out on these. They may look tempting, and you may think they will be as good as the original Chocolate & Oats bars, but they are not. They are horrendous foul little devils.
