I bought these for my daughter, but I think I've eaten more of them than she has. I had read reviews saying the flavors in the variety pack were unpredictable, but we received everything pictured in the description. And it was so well packaged by both the cute box it came in and by Amazon that none of the bars got squished in transit, which is pretty impressive given how soft some of the bars are. I'm not a big fan of having to try a product for the first time with such a large variety box, but I think this was a pleasant surprise.
On to the flavors. So far, we've tried the chocolate brownie and the iced oatmeal cookie. Hands down, one of the best little bars I've ever tried. The iced oatmeal cookie is my favorite so far. You'd think you would want a glass of milk or something with it or that it would be really sweet, but it's really balanced. The regular energy bars are not crunchy at all. They're actually so soft that I'd feel comfortable feeding this to a younger child, maybe in the toddler range. That is definitely something that you'd have to judge for yourself though. I haven't tried the protein bars that came with it but they're much firmer from what I can tell by feeling them through the packaging. They're not incredibly large bars, either. But I find them really filling. The fruit twists look pretty good as well. My daughter says she likes them and that's good enough for me.
The packaging it was shipped in is a cute little box. It's great to keep them stored in and it's definitely recyclable. The packaging for the bars themselves is not difficult for me to get into and I have arthritis, so it's reasonable to assume that most children would be able to open these themselves.
I'd have to rate this overall as a 9/10. I wish that the bars had more nutrients, but the taste is definitely there and it's well thought out as far as portion and flavor variety. I also wish that there were an equal number of all the flavors. But that's a personal preference. It's a good starter kit for maybe a classroom snack box (if your school allows it) or even to send off with your college age kid. It just sort of bothers me that I paid almost a dollar per bar for this box. It's a little expensive for my taste, but sometimes you really do get what you pay for.
