I know choc pb fudge is a tough combo for bars but that's easily my fav real life flavorings so I'm very excited to try them.

Controlled Labs Venture Bar Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough

Taste
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough - There are lots of these bars out on the market. Some are good, some fall short on the CCCD Flavoring, and some are middle of the road. Upon first bite you get a small aftertaste of cookie dough. Nothing is very strong or prominent, but nothing too weak to not be noticed. Compared to Mission 1 and Fit Crunch CCCD bars which lack cookie dough flavor, this provides a good combination of chocolate and cookie dough to find a happy medium. Not as good as the old school quest bars, but a good tasting bar.
Texture
Upon opening the wrapper it is a oily. The bar is soft, and I would consider it a good mix between a harder mission 1 bar and a softer quest bar. The outer shell is similar to the cake like consistency of the inside of a fit crunch bar and combat crunch bar. These are great right out of the wrapper and would not need to be heated to be a great tasting bar right out of the wrapper.

9g Fat, 30g Carbs, and 20g Protein with 20g of fiber.

Pro's:
- Meets 67g/69g weight
- Good Macros + Ingredient Profile
- Great bar texture. Does not even need heated. Stronger than a Mission 1 Bar and not as hard as some quest bars.
- Good Flavor and both aspects can be tasted, one does not overpower the other.
Con's:
- Oily Texture
- Lacks chocolate chip's (had 3 total)
- Chocolate Chip Flavor could be stronger

Got around to trying the coconut almond:
Taste was good. Very subtle coconut and almond flavor. Not overpowering but not bland. Way better than a quest bar IMO.
It was definitely oily and a bit chewy and tough... Sort of like laffy taffy. Heated it for 5-10 seconds and it was delicious. Very satisfying and very tasty.
Although I am a fan of the textured bars, I would eat a venture bar over Quest. Quest have a fake taste to me. Venture tasted like real coconut and real almond.
TL;DR: it tasted great, has a solid profile, and is a solid option for quest lovers. It was a bit chewy at first, but after heating up it was no issue.

I definitely can see the laffy taffy feel on the coconut almond - and like you said, I still really enjoy them. Glad it was good to you and thanks for the detail!
