This gluten-free protein bar from thinkproducts (Ventura, CA) wasn't bad, as protein bars go. I picture these bars being eaten by healthy, skinny folks. Somehow I did not fit this description today. It was a hot summer day, and I watched a movie I rented, while doing some research sitting in front of my computer. Ah well, I'll try to take a walk or do something more befitting an active California lifestyle -- later perhaps.

The caramel center was a bit stiffer than I was expecting, but still good. There are so many different types of caramel centers. You wouldn't think there would be so many different variations for browned sugar combinations - ranging from liquid syrup to chewy stiff. (The image above is from the Coracao Confections website.)
