Most of these bars are terrible. These taste good. Texture is nice and the packaging is durable . Priced right. I have them in all my kits. The packaging has never been punctured. Dig it.

You're reading the five star and one star reviews and wondering whom to believe. OK, believe the five star reviews. The low-star objections are not fair (unless they describe a bad batch). Some of them sound like the reviewer expected a hot tasty burrito and was disappointed to bite into a dry cake. Not fair: these are exactly what they are designed to be.So what to expect. These bars, like genuine hardtack, are very dry, and well sealed in vacuum, supporting the shelf life claims. The shelf life was important to me. I sampled one without any water and had no problem chewing and swallowing. Water or fluids at the meal would help though. The texture was like a hard cookie, like vanilla wafers only thicker. So not at all difficult to break off or chew. The flavor (describing here the coffee flavor) was very good, and the coffee one includes coffee powder in the ingredients, so while caffeine is not measured on the product label, expect a bit of a lift. Also as many other reviewers describe, the flavor is not overly sweet. There's 20g of sugar in the bar, and I'd prefer less myself. But as far as the flavor goes it's the right amount of sweetness, and if you really are in an emergency, admittedly the sugar can be beneficial.I have no criticisms at all really. I'd prefer the product be made in the USA, not China, but I have to admit that these are well designed, good tasting (no chemical taste or aftertaste at all), and very well and consistently made.Overall these are really excellent, and will last a long time on the shelf (or in the bug out box). Do not hesitate to try them.

Mildly cofdee flavored, not excessively sweet. Not rock-like to chew, very easily crumbles once removed from package, don't try to eat these in bed...Taste & consistency are OK, like "food" not "candy". Goes well with a cup of coffee, (and will in rese the caffeine dose!) you will want to drink something with these bars.HOW MUCH CAFFEINE? Good question!I contacted the manufacturer to ask about caffeine content. The answer I received was: The listed "coffee powder" ingredient is 2.8% of product weight. The manufacturer's sales rep apparently couldn't give me an answer in miligrams? So I did some math.2.8% of a 120gr. serving (1 pouch, 2 bars) = 3.36 grams of "coffee powder".If "coffee powder" is dry instant coffee, that would provide about 25mg caffeine per gram of powder, 84mg, equivalent to an 8oz. cup of brewed coffee. I can attest that eating a packet of these kills a caffeine withdrawal headache but did not induce tachycardia.If coffee powder were dry coffee beans, caffeine content could be about half that. These are not "gritty", I don't thing they include whole beans.Packaging seems very sturdy, might want a knife to open.All in all, a serviceable item for an emergency stash (or an emergency snack). Does provide some stimulant value, handy for us caffeine addicts. Would buy again.

This one has a longer shelf life, which I really like. I'm going to tell my friends to go buy it too

Fabulous! I hate to say how surprised I am that these are as good as they are, but I loved them! I got the coffee flavor and dropped 1/2 a biscuit (individually wrapped in halves) into my coffee and let it sit for 5 minutes on a timer. I pulled it out and the outside was a little messy, but 5 minutes was the perfect amount of time for how I wanted to eat the biscuit. It held its shape and was still a little crunchy in the middle. A perfect morning biscuit with coffee and it's delicious!I'm going to try the vitamin flavor to drop into soup. There are other ways to soak, or crush and the biscuits, but this way is a winner for me!The package seal was perfect and although I trust the shelf life they probably won't last that long!

Great for what they are used for. No, These are NOT traditional Hardtack biscuits that can break teeth when eaten dry.These are a thick solid cookie that is easy to break and easy to bite and eat. My favorite flavors are Coconut and Peanut.The packaging is vacuum packed each individual bar. Can survive a battlefield environment.Have liquid to drink when consuming. Store Many For Emergency Rations. Don't forget to stockpile drinking water.

Bit pricey.

Trying to remove the plastic shrikwrap results on total destruction of the bar. Has no coffee flavor at all.

They taste great, can be used as quick snack to regain energy if you have nothing else and doesn't actually require anything to drink alongside it. I always keep a bunch in my car now.

Nous avons goûté une tablette saveur café et cela est plutòt bon et le biscuit est dense mais pas trop dur sous la dent..

Buen producto

Great stuff, nice flavours, long lasting and well sealed. perfect for glovebox.

lang houdbare biscuits die goed van smaak zijn prima voor een noodpakket
