Personally, I'm going to pass on these as they're pretty dense for everything except the main thing that I'm looking for (e.g. maintaining/adding muscle via high protein, without adding a lot of fluff/fat).
Of course, how well these work for you depends on what you're looking to accomplish. But at a glance, these seem pretty fat and calorie dense, without giving me as much protein as I would need in daily consumption...
When looking at sweets, I currently most often reach for a Pure Protein Chocolate Deluxe....
Pure Protein:
- Calories: 180
- Total Fat: 4.5g
- Sat. Fat: 3.5g
- Trans Fat: 0
- Total Carbs: 17g
- Fiber: 2g
- Protein: 21g
ALOHA:
- Calories: 240
- Total Fat: 12g
- Sat. Fat: 3g
- Trans Fat: 0
- Total Carbs: 24g
- Fiber: 10g
- Protein: 14g
So less protein, with significantly more calories and fat... Again, these might be perfectly fine for an individual's needs/goals - but I think that there may be better options for people who are trying to maximize their protein intake (which is why I think most folks reach for protein bars and shakes) while keeping other macros more in line with their daily budget.
Sounds like you might have had some old/not fresh bars. I've found them to be wet-ish , though it seems to depend on the bar.
If you want organic and want to avoid palm oil and sucralose and other artificial ingredients, the Aloha bars should fit the bill. I ordered a box to check them out.

This is my main reason too. A good ingredient profile for an easy to manage breakfast alternative. The protein, fat and calories mainly come from the primary source being peanuts rather than a concentrated protein source. Reasonably low sugar too.
I go with other bars or powders for different purposes when needed.
Only thing I will say is they have been inconsistent in the past but seem to be getting a bit better in that regard recently.

These seem to compare to Quest bars in that they both have a decent amount of fiber along with protein.
I've had the same experience.
