These bars are rather nondescript. They did not have enough chocolate or applesauce to take on either flavor. They also were rather cakey. I prefer chewier bars. - 29 Aug 2005 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
Very moist, not chewy, didn't have a defining flavor. Meaning, you could taste something but it wasn't either applesauce or chocolate. As weird as this might sound, needs to be sweeter or it was missing something. Mine were falling apart around the walnuts. Not crumbly just not holding shape very well when pulling out of the pan in bar form. Not sure if I'd make again however, at most for me, they were just okay. - 06 Jan 2015 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
We had enjoyed the applesauce walnut bars. We would suggest to add more walnuts. - 25 Jan 2019 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
