Delicious 😋

"Harken bars are one of the best things to ever happen to candy! Finally a vegan chocolate bar that is worth the price. The chocolate is creamy and melts in your mouth. The dates keep them sweet and never dry. We also love the selection and hope to have even more flavor options in the future 🙂"

Simply a great candy bar

"I loved the date caramel in these candy bars and the chocolate was really great quality. Overall a wonderfully tasty product that is better than most candy bars I've trued in recent memory. I love that these have no added sugar and use fair trade cocoa. Keep on doing what you're doing Harken!"

Amanda (5/5)

Great flavors

"Harkins sweets mini candy’s are surprisingly good. Good sank if your looking for a sweet snack to snack on. Had a great combination of texture and flavor"

ChrisB (5/5)

A fun treat

"This was a nice change from our usual offers. They were individually wrapped which I LOVED. I hate buying snacks/candy that gets stale because of the packaging after it's been opened. But this was a nice treat. My kids loved these and it was nice that it was a little bit of a healthier option. Reminded me of Heath Bars."

ShalanaJ (4/5)

Expensive Guilt Free Nutritional Candy Bar

"This is a healthy take on your old school snacks. Not only does each bar taste wonderful, they are truly guilt free, each containing an unbelieve 7 grams of fiber in only 65 calories. They are also gluten-free for those who follow that diet. Unfortunately, these are extremely expensive and I will only be able to rarely splurge on them."

BenjaminB (4/5)

Delicious

"I try to avoid processed sugars. These satisfies my sweet tooth without all the added bad stuff. I will definitely be purchasing more in the future."
