Costco Built Bar Puffs Rating and Review
I love these protein bars so much since they taste like a candy bar, like a marshmallow-dipped chocolate treat. The inside is soft and airy with a pleasant chew, while the outside has a chocolate shell. The only downside is that they contain collagen as an ingredient. Collagen is often criticized in protein bars because it’s not considered a complete protein.
