as all have said... very soft. I made them into balls and then rolled them in chopped dried coconut. Still squishy, but not sticky anymore. My first grader LOVES them! He thinks they're candy because I used chocolate hemp protein powder. So glad I can use up the gross undrinkable hemp powder now! - 9/13/11
