Review: PayDay Pro - When candy brands go healthy

We love PayDay bars. We sometimes need energy or a quick, somewhat healthy meal replacement. So why not try the PayDay Pro - PayDay's answer to the energy bar. On the nutrition side, it sports 15 grams of protein and 14 vitamins and minerals. And at first bite, you think its pretty darn close to tasting like a regular PayDay bar, with the trademark combination of peanuts and caramel. We generally love the sweet/salty combo of PayDays, and this bar delivers the good. However, after a few seconds, the taste changes from candy goodness to the "not-quite right" flavor you find in a lot of energy bars. Its a little on the chemically side, which takes over the flavor.

I'm not sure I'd buy this again, even as a pure energy bar. There are some others that have a less odd flavor and don't damage our overall image of a great candy bar in the process. But, if you're not a candy snob like us, and you live a really active lifestyle, I have no doubt these would provide a nice change of pace.
