I made a mistake when I made my order. I thought I was ordering the regular sized bars but found out later I had ordered the mini bars. The pictures on the website looked quite similar to me. And yes, I must have gone by the picture instead of the description. Oh well, live and learned there.
I found the texture (mouth-feel) of the two sizes to be quite different. The mini bars are much softer (and almost mushy?) than the full size bars. I remedied that by putting the minis in the freezer. They tasted good but slightly different that I can't pin-point. Putting them in the freezer is definitely the way to go IMHO.
I've included a couple of pictures for comparison. Hope they come out decent.
After all that being said I probably won't be buying the mini bars intentionally in the future but can't rule it out completely if the price is right. I'll be sticking to the regular ones.
I gave them 4 stars mostly because of the website presentation and my ego blaming that for my mistake. 😎
Also, the difference in the texture isn't really for me.

These are my favorite protein bars.
I love the mini size for my purse. They are great for a snack
when I’m out running errands. I also pack them when I’m traveling.

Love the new minis. Great for when I just want a quick bite AND get a bump of protein. They're now part of my Aloha "regimen" :)

These minis are the perfect size when you just need a little something whether it's to go with lunch, a snack or as a dessert at night.

The mini bars are great when you want a little snack with protein. Just enough chewiness and yum to satisfy. And a big bonus - Aloha is a B Corp! (look it up if you’re not familiar with what a B Corp is)

I love the mini sized Aloha bars. I’ve purchased them in several flavors - they are the perfect size for me when I need a small snack throughout the day. I keep some at work and some at home.

The minis are the perfect size for a quick protein snack. This flavor with the little chocolate chips is delicious and I feel good after eating it.

The Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Mini Bars (and full bars, too) are my favorite bars in the regular line of bars. I have tried quite a few. It’s just a perfect blending of chocolate and peanut butter. This bar is a keeper!

We really enjoy these little portion bars! The chewy ones are a favorite.

Perfect little snack to have in my purse and in my Swimmer’s practice bag! Delicious and perfect size.

The usual great taste and flavor, but a little minier (or smaller, if minier isn’t a word 😀) than I expected!
But, I understand!
Below is video of my kitchen cabinets.

I am a huge fan of the Aloha mini's. They are the perfect size for a quick bite before or after a workout.

These bars are perfect for an afternoon pre workout snack. Eat it in three bites or so, but plenty filling to tide you over until dinner without over stuffing.

This flavor is my absolute favorite.

I love having the option of the mini-bars. They fit in my purse easily and are there for that unexpected day when you forgot to have lunch and now aren't going to get home in time. Or, in the middle of a busy and/or stressful day and you need just a little bit of oomph. 100 calories makes it all the nicer.

These little bars have helped me so very much to get away from sugary sweets. I just think they are great in so many ways and healthy too. Can hardly wait for my next shipment.
