They do taste good, but too sweet. I bought them after the holidays because otherwise they were listed at ridiculous prices.I love the pumpkin pie flavored protein bars from Quest.However, I will say Quest protein bars are not healthy despite what the snakeoil marketers try to say. Because Quest protein bars have corn fiber and 45+ grams of fat from calories. Corn damages your hormonal balance and digestive system because it is an inedible poison. They feed corn to cows because it makes them gain more fat from damaged hormonal balance and digestive systems. The Birthday Cake protein bar from Quest has 5 grams of fat last time I checked. When you multiply 5 times 9, that equals 45 grams of fat from calories. So, the Birthday Cake protein bar from Quest estimatedly has 45 grams of fat from calories. Which is why Quest protein bars are equivalent to candy bars. Eating organic chicken with organic vegetables is much healthier for your hormonal balance and digestive system than these Quest protein bars that have shady ingredients.Otherwise, I only buy these Quest protein bars to try different flavors. Not because I'm obsessed with my health.Quest makes great protein bars. This one (pumpkin pie) was slightly below great, however. A little lower on fiber and higher in saturated fat than the other flavors. To me, the taste wasn't as strong in this one either. They arrived in good condition with the exception that when I opened my first one, it was slightly melted. But not that big of a deal, in my opinion. Overall I liked it and would recommend it and their other protein bars and products.Absolutely love these Pumpkin Pie Quest Bars — so sad they’re only seasonal. Was able to snag a box on sale during the New Year and would honestly consider shelling out $$$ for these puppies. They are super yummy microwaved — taste just like pumpkin pie. The crunchy pie center is a nice touch and the icing coating is not too sweet. If you’re a cinnamon/pumpkin fan and ever see these on sale, please purchase them. These are in my top 3 Quest Bar Flavors next to Blueberry Muffin and Birthday Cake!Love this flavor! Probably one of my favorites. Just right in my opinion. Just wish it wasn’t so difficult to afford often enough.The Pumpkin Pie Quest Bar may be the best tasting Quest bar I've had of all of them. It's the bar that comes closest to tasting like what it describes and fits with the protein diet I've been on. Unfortunately, it's only a seasonal flavor. I am hoping in vain that this one review convinces whoever is monitoring our computers to tell the Simply Good people this and they change it to a regular flavor.I eat a quest bar literally daily so I’m an experienced consumer lol. I’ve had a few versions of their pumpkin over the years and it’s the one flavor in my opinion they just can’t seem to get quite right as evidenced by the fact they keep changing it each year.I got a box yesterday. I will say these were better than the last season- which I ended up donating to food bank.These are a coated bar. The texture was great they are actually super soft maybe even too soft? And I just felt like there was not a lot of flavor to them, very bland. I was expecting more so I’m giving it overall 3 stars. Going to try to bake it or heat up that might help the taste come out!I’ve been a huge fan of Quest bars for many years. While these are edible, they’re almost sickeningly sweet…far, far sweeter than pumpkin pie. I realize they are not pumpkin pie, just a flavored protein bar, but the combination of alcohol sugars and spices make it too sweet for my tastes. I also realize that not everyone has the same sweetness experience across various sweeteners. One thing is for sure, you won’t be tempted to binge eat them!Taste just like a pumpkin pie, I think the flavouring is on spot! Will be buying more before this limited seasonal edition runs outtook one bite and ordered another box
