We agree with Bumble... It's seldom that we could taste either chocolate or peanut butter.
We wondered in which country they were made, but could find NO country of origin anywhere, other than 'Imported by Christie Brown & Co.' which means they were made in a foreign country, but they're not saying where.

Perhaps that country doesn't have the same quality water we do, which may affect the taste of both the peanut butter or the chocolate.

To explain the taste, think of a soy protein bar with a bit of chocolate added to it. Not milk chocolate, but powdered skim milk chocolate. There IS a difference.
