New Pumpkin Pie Quest Bar.

I tried one but wasn't a huge fan. I'm sticking with CnC!

Oh yea. Cookies and cream is going to be hard to beat. Although I do like smores and the pumpkin is okay.
 
I've heard from a few people that they're awful.
 
Most reviews state the pumpkin flavor is minimal and its heavier in spice.
Most like the new coating, some do not like it
The feedback IMO from social media and online boards is more along the lines of 75/25 or 70/30 Negative/Positive feedback. Not many people are enjoying them

I have a box coming in thursday ill throw up my review this weekend.
 
The pumpkin pie is terrible. Then again, I haven't liked any of their new flavors. Maybe it's the formula.

I've grown sick of CnC. Mixed Berry all the way.
 
The pumpkin pie is definately a love hate relationship. You love it or hate it, no inbetween. I love it. Also the coating is the best of all their flavors.

Have you tried white chocolate raspberry? Top 3-4 for me

My number one! 2. Is cookie dough.

Worst was double chocolate. Blah..
 
What a random new flavour! I think it would be hard to beat S'mores, cookies and cream, and PB jelly (in that order). I don't think I'll buy a box of it in case I don't like it but I'll get some in an assorted box... Btw the coating reminds me of doughnut glaze.. yum.
 
Kinda meh out of the wrapper (Quest Pumpkin Bar). It has minimal pumpkin aftertaste and minor spice.
The coating provides a nice glaze, but the graham cracker pieces have no real taste to them besides texture.
If you heat the bar for about 5 seconds the glaze melts in your mouth, and i find it enhances the bar a touch.
Hard to put the Quest pumpkin pie in my top 5. Still does not top CnC, CCCD, DCC, Apple Pie, or Chocolate brownie (my top 5)
 
it was ok, its a limited time flavor great idea from a sales standpoint but i bet they will be discontinued after fall season.
people are buying them up cuz u know white girls love pumpkin spice everything.
 
I thought it was average at best. I'm a huuugggeeee pumpkin/pie fan and this was a letdown. Not much pumpkin or spice flavor. Just very sweet (which I like) but not what I wanted from this bar. Also, at 220kcals it's far and away the highest of theirs an pretty much leaves it out of the low cal bar spot. It's low on my list of quest bars.

Smores, cnc, and cccd are tops for me.

Haven't bought any new ones in forever. I bought a bunch of boxes on sale way back and haven't hardly touched them for months.

Like Boone, I haven't bought any in awhile (a friend gave me a Pumpkin Pie to try), but I did hear from a friend that CnC tastes different. Pretty bummed, but will have to confirm for myself.
 
The pumpkin might be my fav one. Not sure how i feel about the corn fiber being used in quest bars now though.
 
What kind of Quest Bars are you guys eating? The ones I got tasted just like Pumpkin Pie, and they are all gone. The entire box is gone!

Must have gotten a defective batch or something men.

Haha based on the feedback, YOU must have gotten a defective batch (defectively good, that is).
 
I tried a box. They taste like pumpkin and taste 100x better than most of their other overly-fake-sweet tasting bars. I can only really eat these ones and the lemon ones. Everything else just tastes like artificial sweetener overload.

The cinnamon bars are pretty decent too.
 
I finally tried the mint cookie and wasn't impressed. Not bad, but not great by any means. Also disappointed that cookies and cream doesn't taste good to me in comparison lol.

My favorite is for sure apple pie. I absolutely love those. PB&J can be good, too (dry, but good flavor). Cookie Dough is probably #2 for me, and the strawberry cheesecake isn't bad either. I find myself liking flavors I normally wouldn't rank as highly more when it comes to Quest (basically an inverse ranking of how I normally would approach flavors).

Glad i am not the only one who loves apple pie. CNC, CCCD, and apple pie rock.

The mint bar is hit or miss. I believe since the mint mix ins are not fixed, some bars have a lot, moderate or little, that is what makes it hit or miss. I enjoy them when I gwt a lot of mint and find them mediocre when they have minimal mint pieces.

Apple pie is great. Have you ever warmed it?

Ahhh, you beat me to it! 8-10 seconds in the microwave = winning!
 
With the mint I like the flavor and mix-ins; it's just dry. Same with cookies and cream to me.

Guess that's why I like the Apple Pie and cookie dough -- they felt more moist.
 
I liked the pumpkin /graham flavor and texture difference from other bars. Its pretty good, the fats are a little bit high for me. I use to like quest when they had some bars with fat around 4.5-7 now most are 7-9 which doesn't seem like a huge difference but 4.5 to 9 while cutting is substantial IMO.

The mint chocolate were very dry when I tried them as well. CnC is usually soft, but I haven't tried to new formula so maybe things have changed. I'm still waiting on oatmeal raisin...
 
I was not a fan of the Pumpkin Pie & I love all things pumpkin. My favorites are still the OG apple pie, cookies 'n creme, & lemon creme pie. Found the pumpkin pie to be bland & I'm not a fan of the harder coating on them. Even my son wasn't a fan.

Agree here. They are rock hard and the pumpkin flavor is just not there being a pumpkin lover. Must be spoiled on the other delicious pumpkin things we have ate
For a protein bar not bad, but i am sure other companies could perfect pumpkin pie to a better degree

The only problem is Quest only makes a pumpkin pie bar from what I see on the market. Hopefully some other companies will release some next year.

I agree!! I may try my hand at my own. I've made pumpkin protein muffins, pancakes, bread already this year. Why not try proteins bars. I make my own granola bars...so maybe it won't be too difficult. I'm sure you could master them!!! ;)
