Millennium Bars Assorted 24-Pack

• Great for hiking, camping, boating and disaster preparedness.

The price point of 24 bars for just over $1.20 each was perfect. These bars are simple, durable, and compact. They handle heat and cold exceptionally well. For those who have not had one, the bars all look alike, regardless of flavor. You might describe them as being like a very firm cookie dough. They don't crunch as much as crumble as you chew. The taste of all flavors is excellent, and really a strong point. I could eat these, either one or more flavors, and not get tired of them. At 400 calories each, they do kill a meal, leave me feeling filled, and give you a modest bounce. They are not intended as true energy bars I think, as much as they handy for emergency food. I keep a half dozen in my car for example. But as a way to avoid hitting a vending machine for a big snack, they are excellent. Keeping a few in a glove box to avoid gas station pizza or junk, is a good thing. They also handle being in a car well enough that you don't worry about melting or a mess when eating.

I rate the value of my purchase by the cost per bar, after shipping. This is where ordering with Amazon Prime proved handy. I would buy these at prices up to $1.50, give or take the quantity, flavor, and shipping options. If you are looking to stock a survival box, shelter, etc, the bulk cases are a good deal given the high quality, taste, and compact size.

I had been buying these at Cheaper Than Dirt for $1.44 each and more recently at Emergency Essentials where the Variety Pack had them at $1.29 ea. Those prices included shipping. I went to ask.com and searched for the lowest price for them as they are a big hit with the family for our emergency supplies. A NEXTAG hit took me to an Amazon page which said this (I copied directly from that page):

That was only $1.12 each. A great bargain. I ordered two packs. But, when I went to my orders, I had been charged $36.35. That came out to $1.51 per bar. No bargain at all!

I tried to cancel. But, though it had only been an hour, (And, it was Sunday) the automated system said it was too late.

They arrived today (Friday). I got 16 Cherry, 15 Coconut and 17 Apricot. The picture of their pack showed at l,east 10 different flavors. 3 is not much of a variety! We have tried all their flavors. Apricot and Coconut are at the bottom on my familys' tastiness chart. But, we've got them now. Live and learn (to like Apricot!)... Buyers If you want these great energy bars, go to Emergency Essentials. They give you a good price and real variety!

The best thing about these is the thick wrapper. It is a very heavy foil and that gives me peace of mind knowing that the vacuum seal won't leak. They all pretty much taste the same regardless of flavor. The flavoring is very mild but it is present. Overall, they are like a really, REALLY dense shortbread cookie and are pretty decent tasting. Perfect for the E.D.C. bag or the B.O.B. The ones I ordered are good through 2016 but you know how that goes. If the vacuum seal is still in tact, I would feel good about eating them long after that.

Each bar looks like compressed brown sugar,but have different flavors.The bars are surprisingly good.I intend on ordering more.Each bar has 400 calories.

These seem like good emergency food, but I wouldn't eat them on a daily basis. Each bar has the same main ingredients/nutrition/color/consistency, the only diference is the flavor.

My flavor assortment was:

6 blueberry

6 tropical fruits

6 cherry

3 apricot

3 coconut

The first ingredients are: sugar, vegetable shortening, flour, cornstarch, wheat gluten, dextrose, dessicated coconut, corn syrup.... (it goes on to list a bunch of chemicals, preservatives, and added vitamins)
