During our 60 days of Insanity, our bodies were put to the test. And so were our cravings. We were on a quest to find the perfect energy bar to get us over that 3pm hump without eating everything in site.

Many companies sent us samples.

Clif Bar and Luna Bar were our favorites.

And thanks to the incredible people at Clif Bar, you have a chance to see why. Just watch the video to find out how you can win some of their bars. Crunch crunch.

Like Paul’s shirt? He sure does. We got it from Snorg Tees. Click here to get one of your own.

Good luck everyone!

UPDATE 2/12/11:
The 4 lucky winners are (blog) Lisa @The Cutting Edge of Ordinary and Donna, and (Facebook) Theresa Giroux Crombach and Jim Peronto. Every effort will be made to honor your preferred flavor, but substitutions may be necessary based on availability. Please send me your full name and address so Clif Bar can ship out your prize!

Thanks for playing everyone! Love you all!! *mwah*

Clif bars are great tasting and have some good vitamins/ingredients. I would like to see them make the packaging fit the bar though. The bar has gotten smaller over the years, but the package has stayed the same size. Just kind of annoying. It makes me feel like the company wants the customer to believe the bar in larger. Also, several other companies are lowering the sugar content without compromising taste. I believe Clif could do this as well.

I have to say I have tried very few “energy bars” but after seeing Paul loving them so much I think I’ll give them another try! Very funny! I think I would prefer chewy but I can’t say crunchy would be bad either!

Paul is too damn funny! He needs to do something about that. Become a pro or something. You guys need to be discovered. At least the Clif Bar people know where it’s at.

I prefer chewy. :)

He can do a kick ass Rocky and Kermit the Frog impression too (among others!) Oh, and he can juggle. And play the banjo. Isn’t this needed somewhere?

Rachel February 9, 2011 at 8:29 am

Oooh! Nummy!
Cliff bars are one of the few “health foods” that my husband will eat without complaining. :-) Chewy chewy goodness.

Cheryl February 9, 2011 at 6:17 am

Paul skipping…LOL. You guys are too funny. And if I had that shirt I would wear it every day. It would make all my other shirts jealous.

I’m a crunchy girl. Okay, that sounds weird. You know what I mean!

Great video! Love Luna bars. The lemon…mmm.

Love the video and chewy bars!! I’m a big fan of the Luna bars.

I like both Chewy and crunchy! Luna bars are my favorite! I love the peanut butter flavor!!!

Shara February 8, 2011 at 7:49 pm

Pick me! Pick me! I’ve tried them all too and Luna bars are the best. Would love to win a box. I also want that shirt. No. I need that shirt.

I’m a chewy girl. All the way. That’s how i like my cookies and that’s how I like my lunabars. Caramel brownie is my favorite. I love you.

Amy February 8, 2011 at 8:10 pm

You make me laugh out loud. Every time. Love you too babe.

Dad February 8, 2011 at 5:53 pm

I laughed so hard that granola came out of my nose, very uncomfotable when you haven’t had any milk. I now know how Harvey Korman felt in the presence of Tim Conway. Anyway, I’ll take creamy to get me over the 10AM hump, crunchy for the noonday hump, and chewy for the 4pm. My day has more humps than a herd of camels.

We were just watching old Carol Burnett outtakes. No matter how many time we see it, the elephant episode and dentist one kill me.

Mom February 8, 2011 at 5:22 pm

I laughed so loud that Dad came in to see what was going on! Very funny.
I prefer chewy.

Lynda Justice February 8, 2011 at 1:24 pm

I’ve used Luna bars for ages as an afternoon “pick me up”. I like either chewy or crunchy. Obviously Paul does too!

Reply

Astrid February 8, 2011 at 12:45 pm

I prefer chewy! That was an awesome review vido. It had me chuckling the whole time!

Lisa@The Cutting Edge of Ordinary February 8, 2011 at 12:24 pm

Why don’t you two have your own show on Food Network? Why? You are both so cute and funny.

I like crunchy or chewy. I’d also like it if they made a Nutella flavored one. Can you ask them to work on that please?

Reply

Amy February 8, 2011 at 1:16 pm

Lol. Thanks, Lisa :D Why is right!! Waiting to be discovered, I guess. Like everyone else… Dude, Nutella…totally. I’ll put it in the suggestion box.

heather February 8, 2011 at 12:24 pm

Oh that gave me the laugh I needed to get through the rest of the afternoon! Definitely crunchy for me; much more satisfying. Is he still running??

Cheers,

*Heather*

Reply

Amy February 8, 2011 at 1:15 pm

Ha! He alternates between running and skipping. You know…to keep it interesting ;-) Thanks for stopping over Heather and good luck!

I prefer the chewy Clif bars :]

Super cute video, by the way!

Ella @ The Single Girl's Kitchen February 8, 2011 at 10:12 am

Chewy! Man, a lot of those flavors sounded delicious, especially cookies and cream delight. I just started training for an 8k (not nearly as intense as the Insanity workout), so I could use some extra energy!

pam February 8, 2011 at 9:49 am

I’m at work watching how poorly my students are doing on their algebra trest. I could use some cheering up, but since I can’t see the video at school, I’ll have to wait till I get home :(

Jen February 8, 2011 at 9:46 am

LMAO! Seriously, my face hurts! Paul is absolutely hysterical. I swear he is in the wrong business. Did you send the video to Clif? I DO want to enter this particular drawing. I like crunchy. :O)

Reply

Amy February 8, 2011 at 1:14 pm

I did forward it along to Clif Bar. I love my contact over there…he got a good chuckle out of it.

Reply

Cathy February 8, 2011 at 9:41 am

Great video!!! I love Luna bars, and so does Cady. I gave her one right before her ski race last weekend. She only likes Chocolate Peppermint flavor, which IS yummy. I guess we’d go with chewy over crunchy. I love the part where Paul skips…

Reply

Amy February 8, 2011 at 1:11 pm

Chocolate Peppermint? Mmmm. Was that a holiday limited edition flavor? I want. No…I NEED.

Reply

Cher February 8, 2011 at 9:41 am

Hmm, crunchy. :) Very cute guys, love Paul’s impression of the kids. lol

Reply

Jude February 8, 2011 at 9:39 am

Funny! And I think your viewers know what you did next with all that extra energy.

I’m curious, the Clif and Luna bars were your fave, can you share which ones weren’t? The Lara bar may be lower in fat, but the flavors all taste the same to me, like date.

PS – Which came first, Paul’s T-shirt, or his catch phrase, NOM NOM NOM ?

Amy February 8, 2011 at 1:08 pm

We tried SO many different brands. Without calling out any one particular company, I will just say that I found most of them gritty or too chewy, or didn’t taste at all as it was advertised. Like Banana Coconut…you couldn’t taste the coconut, for example. I LOVED the Luna bars. They are a perfect combo of chewy and crunchy, and they have great flavor. Every single one of them tasted different than the next. Also loved the Clif Crunch, which is now the only crunchy granola bar I’ll buy. Which, BTW, is exactly what we’re doing….buying them. It’s not like Clif Bar sent us a lifetime supply. I wish!

Sue February 8, 2011 at 9:36 am

What a great giveaway! I love the Luna bars – the oatmeal raisin is one of my favorites too. So I guess that mean I prefer chewy. Would love to win a box!

Reply

Tara February 8, 2011 at 9:29 am

Cute video! And I <3 that shirt!! My husband and I did Insanity also but nobody sent us energy bars to sample *whimpers softy* Please enter me in the giveaway – we like both!

Reply

Amy February 8, 2011 at 1:05 pm

Thanks! I think everyone should be sent granola/energy bars if they participate in Insanity. We love Snorg T-shirts! They are super soft and excellent quality.

Reply

Lisa February 8, 2011 at 9:24 am

You guys are too much! Love it. And we love Clif granola bars! Crunchy, definitely crunchy.

Melissa February 8, 2011 at 8:16 am
