A Definitive Ranking of the Best Clif Bar Flavors
A staple in lunchboxes and road trip snack bags everywhere, Clif Bars consistently remain a snacker's best friend.
These chewy oat-filled bars are perfectly packable, making them a great option to enjoy just about anywhere (whether that be high on a mountain, like the label suggests, or just on your couch). However, like most of our favorite snacks, some flavors of Clif bars simply reign supreme over others. So, which ones are worthy of a spot in your pantry? We're here to help you decide with our definitive ranking of the best Clif bar flavors.
10. Oatmeal Raisin Walnut
Rarely considered anyone's No. 1 favorite, the Oatmeal Raisin Walnut Clif Bar is still worthy of a place on this list thanks to its old-fashioned, comforting oatmeal cookie-like taste and texture.

9. Blueberry Almond Crisp
We hate to put so many of the fruit-forward flavors so far down on this definitive ranking of the best Clif Bar flavors, but we promise that doesn't mean that they aren't still delicious in their own right. For example, the Blueberry Almond Crisp flavor, which is a sweet yet subtle take on an absolute stunner of a summer dessert.

7. Chocolate Chip
This Clif Bar flavor is a total standby, with a blue label that we just can't forget. It's got a solid balance of oats to chocolate and isn't too sweet, either, but it just doesn't quite push out other (more unique) flavors to come out higher on this list.

6. Peanut Toffee Buzz
Looking for a little extra kick from your snack choice? While you could order a massive latte from Starbucks or go with one of the coffee Clif Bars, we'd recommend this one instead. It's got a certain saltiness that not all flavors bring to the table, plus it's all tied together with the crunchy-chewy texture of peanuts for an extra level of oomph.

5. Chocolate Almond Fudge
Chocolate lovers, now's your time to shine. This Clif Bar flavor tops the Chocolate Chip flavor for a few reasons, mainly the addition of almonds for extra texture.

4. Chocolate Brownie
Oh, did we mention chocolate is kind of a running theme with most of the top-rated Clif Bars? If not, this flavor will certainly prove why. It's got that scrumptious brownie-like taste in a not-overly-sweet bar for a fun take on a favorite baked dessert.

3. White Chocolate Macadamia Nut
Switching it up from the usual chocolate flavors is this long-time favorite flavor: White Chocolate Macadamia Nut. It's got everything you could want in a snack, from the crunch to the creaminess of the white chocolate for a delightful bite each and every time.

2. Peanut Butter Banana With Dark Chocolate
While there's a place in our hearts for each one of the peanut butter Clif Bar flavors, this one simply ranks higher than the rest. This is all thanks to the addition of banana and dark chocolate, which makes the whole bar taste like one of our preferred breakfast bar baked goods (banana bread, that is). It's not too sweet, not too salty and proves to be a nicely satisfying snack overall.

1. Chocolate Chip Peanut Crunch
We had to give the top spot on this definitive ranking of the best Clif Bars to this one for a few reasons, starting with the fact that it's just so well-balanced in terms of the flavors it features. The peanut butter isn't too overpowering, nor are the chocolate chips too cloying. If you need to know which flavor to pack for your next trip (or just your daily snack), we'd definitely say this one is sure to impress.
