Pros: Mild mint flavor, wheat- and dairy-free, nutritious, portable.
Cons: None.
The Bottom Line: I'd recommend Clif bars in general as being tasty, nutritious, portable, and wheat- and dairy-free. Cool Mint Chocolate is my favorite flavor of the six I have tried.

| heatherhh's Full Review: Clif Bar Clif Bar Mint Chocolate 12/Box |
In recent months, due to health issues, I have had to begin avoiding wheat and dairy. Clif bars have filled a gap in my new diet, providing a reasonably healthy snack. But, even better, they taste good enough that I would enjoy them even if I didn’t have special diet needs. Buying them at Amazon.com in 24 ct packages, I get them for less than $1 each, which is really not a bad price for a “special diet” food.
Clif bars are wheat-free, dairy-free energy bars, with each containing approximately 250 calories, 5 grams of fiber, 10 grams of protein, and plenty of vitamins and minerals. They contain 70% organic ingredients, and they do also contain soy if that’s an ingredient you avoid. They may also contain traces of tree nuts. They are on the dense side for an energy bar, but not terribly so. They’re less chewy than a granola bar.
Cool Mint Chocolate may be my favorite of the 6 flavors I have tried. The base bar is chocolate with a definite mint flavor. It’s not a strong mint flavor, however, and the bar isn’t super sweet. It’s an energy bar, not a candy bar or cookie. If you’ve had a Girl Scout Thin Mint cookie, I’d say it’s a weaker version of that: not quite as sweet, not quite as minty. Personally, I liked the fact that the mint taste wasn’t particularly strong. I don’t want to eat an energy bar and walk away with my mouth having a burning cool feeling! This has a nice mild mint chocolate taste that was quite enjoyable. The icing drizzled on top made for a more attractive presentation than many of the other Clif Energy Bar flavors. I would definitely buy this flavor again.
