I like Balance bars for snacks but most of them are chocolate covered so I would imagine they'd be really messy if they're handing those out during a race.

Kind of a weird choice, as Balance Bars use the 40-30-30 nutrition theory, and I would think you might want a higher ratio of carbs during a race.

Begin the big debate on what the best ratios of Carbs-Prots-Fats are.... NOW.

I've used both and have no preference. The Balance Bars might wash down a little easier, the Twinlabs had better flavours and less chocolate.
