PowerbarEnergize Original – ‘The Original’ Energy Bar for Endurance & Team Sports Athletes – Fueling Champions for 30+ Years: 25 x 55g Bars - Cookies & Cream

Seems to be a little less dense, and uses popped rice. Objectively it might actually be better, but I still miss the hot cocoa, whey protein, and vegetable oil cardboard originals.

Power Bar truly gives me a noticeable lift during strenuous weight-training and cycling workouts unlike all other brands I've tried over 63 years.

Just as tasty as the original bar and still in a foil wrapper. Read a few reviews that mentioned concerns about the wrapper not being as good as the original. This wrapper may look different on the outside but it's the same foil wrapper on the inside.

I was hesitant to order this after reading about changes to the bars. Still great!

I used to eat a Powerbar almost daily in the 90s and was quite heartbroken to see the original version disappear due to the anti carb craze. I always had a chocolate, Berry and vanilla crisp bar in my gym bag and loved them after a workout or as a snack, with a nice big bottle of water. Nothing else was ever quite like them and they always tasted amazing.These are a pretty good replica. I ordered the Berry, to start, as that one always tasted like Captain Crunch Crunchberries to me. These are a bit more fruit flavoured than the original but the texture is spot on and they do taste lovely.I'm hoping these stick around, and that they add the gorgeous vanilla crisp flavour back to the lineup as well. I'll check out the chocolate next, see if they are as much like Tootsie Rolls as their predecessor.If you liked the original bars, and the Berry flavor, just know that while this is not a perfect replica it is very, very close and quite lovely.NOTEThere is a popular review on here claiming the bars are wrapped in paper, lol? Uh, no. They are wrapped exactly like my old Powerbars and are often as tough to unwrap. I don't know whether that's a fake review or they received something else but these are quite securely wrapped.

Lay them flat on the shelf, otherwise they slowly ooze there way to one end or the other of the packaging.not good for a grab a snack and go as they are very sticky on your hands.

I'm so glad to find these on amazon, I couldn't even find them through the manufacturer. I first tried these in 1988 during a cross country bicycle trip. I was surprised that these always helped to perk me up and give me some extra ooomph when I was flagging, At first I thought they tasted weird, but I started to really like them after a while. The berry is, I think the best flavor, followed by chocolate and chocolate peanut butter. They are super satisfying, I love the gumminess and chewiness. Always have a glass of water with these, they work much better with water. They also have no chocolate or other coating, so even after melting, being squashed into crowded bike bags, fanny packs, back pockets, backpacks, and car glove compartments in summer, they are totally edible. They have a lot of nutrient for a lightweight bar, and due to the chewiness, they last a lot longer than other bars, which makes them really satisfying, I'll keep buying them as long as they keep selling them!

There are so many “power bar” & protein bars out there these days but the original chocolate power bar has always been my favorite! And they became harder & harder to find. For me, the consistency of the original power bar was amazing. The best way I can describe it is like a thick chewy unbaked dark chocolate brownie. I don’t necessarily eat these for “energy” or to be more health conscious, I just really like them. If you put a snickers & this power bar in front of me, I’d choose the power bar each time.
