ONE Brands Protein Supplement Bar, Maple Glazed Doughnut, 20g Protein, 12 Count

The older recipe was 5 stars!! The new one however doesn't even taste like maple, more like a mediocre caramel. I love one bars and the old bar was the best flavor.. why change your strongest flavor?!

I used to absolutely LOVE the maple glazed donut bars because not only was it unique with no other companies offering it, it also filled the void for one of my guilty pleasures. I saw that they advertised a “new and improved” version, so I instantly thought “wow this is going to be so much better!”, but instantly found myself regretting the purchase. It's downright awful! I don't know how to describe the taste other than artificial with a taste of something I can't quote put my finger on. The texture is not that far off from typical protein bars (i.e. Quest). I will truly miss this flavor, but with so many other options with better offerings, I'm going to avoid purchasing anything indefinitely.

I've been eating the maple One bars for probably a year or two now and always loved the strong maple flavor and subtle crunch. I would have rated them 5 stars, they were some of my favorite protein bars. But the most recent box I got says “new recipe for better flavor & texture,” except I was very disappointed with the flavor, and didn't find the texture to be an improvement. The new flavor is bland and lacks the distinct maple taste of the original. I can't see myself buying these anymore, and I'm also rather upset that the original is seemingly gone forever. Please bring back the previous recipe, even as a new product. It is the only one I will buy.

I was excited about the new recipe and couldn't wait to try them! First bite, no bueno! It has less maple flavoring than before and the texture was more crunchy. They messed with perfection and missed the mark. I won't buy another box, sadly.

As a loyal One Bar customer, I've sold everyone I know on the best protein bars on the market. That said, the change to the Maple Donut recipe has tanked the best tasting one. The texture is awful and it's harder to chew. Taste is mildly worse. Please DO NOT TOUCH LEMON CAKE if this is what you're going to do to your bars.
