Review: Controlled Labs Venture Bar Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Taste

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough - There are lots of these bars out on the market. Some are good, some fall short on the CCCD Flavoring, and some are middle of the road. Upon first bite you get a small aftertaste of cookie dough. Nothing is very strong or prominent, but nothing too weak to not be noticed. Compared to Mission 1 and Fit Crunch CCCD bars which lack cookie dough flavor, this provides a good combination of chocolate and cookie dough to find a happy medium. Not as good as the old school quest bars, but a good tasting bar.

Texture

Upon opening the wrapper it is a oily. The bar is soft, and I would consider it a good mix between a harder mission 1 bar and a softer quest bar. The outer shell is similar to the cake like consistency of the inside of a fit crunch bar and combat crunch bar. These are great right out of the wrapper and would not need to be heated to be a great tasting bar right out of the wrapper
