like chewing on coffee beans in a tootsie roll
I realize that this bar is "espresso" flavored, but I expected a little more depth and complexity than something which tasted like chewing coffee beans. The ingredients list includes other flavors, including chocolate, but I couldn't taste them at all. I also wasn't a fan of the texture, which was on the gooey side with little crispy bits scattered throughout. I liked the crunch, but was less a fan of the gooey parts. I ate this during hot weather so it might be better if it's refrigerated. The caffeine portion is on point though. It's less enjoyable than a cup of coffee, but more portable.
