Mid-Day Squares delivers a generally effective, healthier chocolate-bar alternative according to reviews: many praise flavor variety, clean ingredients, and satisfying texture, while others report downgraded recipes, inconsistent flavor intensity, and packaging changes that feel misleading. These reviews suggest buyers who want a protein-forward, fridge-kept treat will likely enjoy it, but those seeking classic candy-bar taste, consistent formulations, or firmer texture may be disappointed.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
As an alternative to generic supermarket chocolate - it's tastier, more filling and I didn't get a sugar crash! The dark chocolate tasted pretty yummy and without any chalkiness. I enjoyed the Peanut Butta and Brownie Batter flavours. And as someone who finds protein bars taste like cardboard, this is definitely the perfect alternative. So for me, it delivers on its promise as a mid-day treat/filling snack! It's definitely something I'd repurchase though at the price point, it wouldn't be a weekly purchase.
Super tasty! Not super filling, but a healthier afternoon pick me up choice
I bought a variety pack, and found them to be just okay. They are packaged with 2 servings in one bar which seems odd to me.They’re pretty high in calories if you eat the two servings together. They’re also a bit pricey.
Obsessed with these!! The texture is fantastic and the ingredients are great. The fudge yeah part is my least flavor because it’s too much chocolate, but hardly a complaint. I love the idea of getting protein and fiber while curbing a candy craving too.
I honestly really like this company and its products. Starting out with the actual chocolate product, all the flavors are super good and if you're looking for a healthier protein-packed alternative to a crunch bar or Reese's type bar, then these are 1000% the answer. I also love their marketing and social media team who are always showing behind-the-scenes looks at their company and flavor development. The company is also super responsive to its followers and always responds back to comments on their posts and DMS which is super awesome. Overall, I'm a big fan of the company and what they've been doing thus far and am super excited for the cookie dough flavor to launch!
The bars taste quite good, and are thankfully not that sweet. But in all honesty I can't say I felt super good after eating this so I'm not sure that they're quite as healthy as they seem. Overall, nice to have in place of a chocolate bar though.

Cleanest bar on the market! I love the peanut butter chocolate bar - it’s so dark from the texture to the taste! Not as much a fan of the almond flavor- but they’re great to have on hand for anytime of the day or night!

OBSESSED. Don’t know how I lived without these things before. Quality ingredients, low sugar. You feel like you are getting a delicious treat without a major blood sugar spike. 👏🏼😵💫
Not too sweet! Satisfies my snacking craving and have a very clean ingredients list. I like that it also has a little bit of protein and fiber as well. I tried the mixed pack and all 3 flavors are pretty good!

Typically I do not buy prepackaged products but am happy to have this alternative when traveling or really too busy to make my own healthy snacks. Happy with the quality of ingredients and flavour. I like that it did not have any after tastes that some healthier options have with different sweeteners.

I typically do not like buying prepackaged snacks because of all the waste it can accumulate. I wonder if offering larger format bars could reduce some of the waste?
I bought the variety pack and really only liked one flavor. These are definitely a healthier option when you have a sweet tooth, but they really are not that sweet. Somewhat dry.
I don’t really like protein/energy bars, so I only give it a 4/5. However I was pleasantly surprised by the 3 flavours I’ve tried (almond crunch, fudge yeah, and the peanut one). Almond crunch was my favourite for sure. The texture isn’t too thick, chewy, or heavy to be overwhelming in the mouth. The prices are kinda high at the grocery store I saw these at, but it’s a nice little sweet pick me up on those days I don’t eat much of a lunch.

The Midday Squares chocolate bar is an organic and delicious treat with a perfect balance of cocoa and sweetness, a smooth and creamy texture that melts in your mouth and a great taste that is not too sweet. It is a great option for those looking for a healthier alternative to traditional candy bars, and its satisfying and tasty flavor makes it an ideal choice for a daily treat. I highly recommend it.

Obsessed. Delicious, filling, perfect thing between lunch and dinner or when I’m traveling. It’s the only bar I buy. I tell everyone about it.

Nothing better on the market IMO

Started out super delicious. Then they were shrunk significantly, repackaged. That’s understandable. But then the Ingredients have been downgraded significantly. Nothing like the originals. Save your money. Buy Recess Pieces for cheap chocolate and peanut butter. Very disappointed. Not worth the price.

Shrunk the packaging and contents but kept ingredient list the same.

I've been an avid user of their products for over 2+ years. It is now clear that cutting corners and profit focus (now that they have an investor(s)) the flavour has downgraded materially. Peanut butter taste is bland and generally disappointing. The single product packaging is a scam. I am no longer purchasing this product
Feedback
Packaging style (you are squeezing your consumer); the flavors are no longer what they used to be. Go back to the original recipe.
