REDCON1 MRE Bar Red Velvet, 67g x 12

I love red velvet cake so I was excited to try these bars. I had never had the MRE bars before, so I was quite surprised when I bit into it and got an overwhelming peanut flavor in the red velvet bar. If not for the peanuts (which don’t belong here) it would be a 5 star flavor. Texture is good, it is soft and chewy. The sweet frosting flavor is a nice touch as well.Ingredient wise, these bars are the most unique I’ve ever seen. Lots of protein and carb sources you never see in bars. I guess that’s a plus, but it comes at a premium price.I have now had red velvet, donut, and carrot cake MRE bars. None of them quite taste like the name 100%, and peanuts are a common theme, but all are good in their own ways.

I weight train 6 days a week and like these right before I train. They taste great and give me just enough carbs to support my heavy training.

The bar flavor (s’mores), was not as tasty as all the other flavors I have tried. I would not order this flavor again if there are other available. the s’mores bars feel ‘softer’ in comparison to all the others on the line. Additionally, the bars can easily melt and break depending on temperature and handling (read that again). Broken bars tend to make lots of crumbs inside the package, making the ease of eating a ‘bar’ on-the-go a bit more challenging.

So the box makes it look like this fluffy cake-y thing. The reality is much different. More a flat mix of ingredients that doesn't really seem like food. Just google MRE bar and you'll see what I mean.Not a huge fan of almonds and the bars have almonds throughout it.It's got those crisps protein bits on top which are okay but overall they're not very good, I think I had 2 and gave the rest away. I usually like protein bars and stuff like this, but this was a miss by MRE.

Great flavor!! Good meal replacement bar. Tried all of the flavors and the red velvet cake is one of my favorites!!
