 Changed for the WORSE Feb 27, 2010
By P. Gray
These used to be my favorite allergy friendly snack that I did not have to make myself. The flavor was great and most importantly, it had TEXTURE (which as anyone with allergies to most textured foods like nuts and grains knows is extremely desirable and important.) But they have changed them for the worse! Oh they are so horrible that I am having trouble expressing it so here's a copy of the email that I sent to the folks at Enjoy Life Foods:
"You have ruined Chaco Loco snacks. They are now disgusting! They used to be the only allergy friendly snack that I'd found that had real flavor and most importantly TEXTURE. Now they taste bitter, slimy, gewy and are completely absent of texture. They stick to my teeth, are difficult to chew and swallow--gross! I tossed the bar into the trash after taking only one bite. Oh, and I noticed that you made them substantially smaller which in this case is a good thing because I can't imagine anyone choking their way through the entire bar anyway. I'm not sure who authorized this farce, I mean product change, and wonder if they actually tasted they product prior to forcing it out onto unwitting consumers like me. I thought that I'd finally found something delicious that I did not have to bake myself that would always be reliable and available for my family but I was wrong. Choco Loco's now taste like most other allergy friendly snacks on the market today--Terrible. I am so unhappy that this product was changed and am returning them to the seller ASAP."
Trust me on this one people, do not waste your money.

These bars are too expensive for how tiny they are. Nov 20, 2010
By Monkey Momma
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R23MP0JX7VQYJJ Since I can't attach a photo to my review, I decided to take a video of my 8 year old son opening one of these bars so you can see first hand how small they are in comparison to a small boy's hands.
I purchased these for my son who has celiac disease. We were incredibly disappointed on the packaging and size of these bars. Based on the size of the box and the picture on the front, we expected full size bars - not a tiny gummy square. Most of the packaging is air.
My son does like the taste of these however. The packaging just seems misleading and they seem to be way too expensive for what they are.

Absolutely ridiculous Jan 19, 2011
By Jenna Sue
I posted a pic at the top of this page... the actual bar looks NOTHING like the picture on the box. It's a bizarre nub of a bar - I actually LAUGHED when I shook it out of the package, it was so ridiculously small. As for the taste... it's chocolatey, not totally unpleasant...but DRY...like the Sahara desert dry...like there's not enough milk in the world to wash it down dry...like I'd tell you how dry it is but my mouth is too gummy and I may be trying to swallow it until 2099 so I can't talk. If you have allergies and can't have gluten (like me) you'd be better off eating a piece of chalk and a spoonful of cocoa than this. Skip it.

Reformulated bars are NOT an improvement May 11, 2010
By Mary H. Barnes
Enjoy Life has reformulated these bars and they are now virtually inedible. My sons brought one home today as they thought it had mold. It was likely just the dark chocolate having been exposed to cold (it gets that white coating). However, the bar did not look right - it was dense and rubbery. I contacted the company since it was a product problem as far as I was concerned and not an Amazon problem - they told me about the reformulation saying their customers wanted this "improvement". They offered a coupon for a free box, but I already have 5 boxes that my sons will not eat. This is really sad that what was a really good GF product has been made virtually inedible and that the company is very confused about this. I tried one of the old and new bars a few minutes ago and agree 100% with my sons. The sadest thing is that my son's friend at school loved these bars and he doesn't even have to eat GF (which is a big endorsement for any allergen-free product) - he also found the bars inedible and thought they were moldy.
The only issue that I would attribute to Amazon is that I have these on subscribe and save and I feel that I should have been notified when the product changed, since this is NOT the product I had subscribed to. They are no longer labeled clearly as "Coco Loco".

The new bars are awful! Mar 21, 2010
By Cheryl P. Hogan
My kids loved the cocoa loco bars - until I opened our newest shipment and found that the bars had completely changed! They are completely different and they are awful. My kids generally love anything chocolate, but they threw these in the garbage after one bite. They described them as tasting like rubber. I ate one and fully agreed. There goes the one gluten free snack bar that my kids actually liked!
