Reviews

A new favorite!

"I really liked almost everything about the salted caramel candy bars. I liked they were individually wrapped which maintains freshness as well and keeps the serving size. I liked that that they had 1 g of protein and were sweetened with dates. Also a plus was that they are non-GMO and rich in fiber. The only negative was the price. I would probably only buy when on sale or if there was a promotion. Otherwise they were fabulous."

— AnsleyH (5/5)

Harken back

"Great vegan alternative to the conventional candy bars of my childhood — the "gooey one" is a pretty accurate Milky Way knockoff, without the animal ingredients & with a lot less sugar. The bars are really small & there's not very many of them in the bag for the price, which is my only complaint."

— ErikaE (4/5)

Really good...and good for you

"Absolutely LOVE these Harken bars! I quit sugar a year ago and these are a real treat to me (I'm guessing if you eat sugar they may not be "as real") - a "candy bar" that's good for my body as well as my face lol. Great taste, no added sugar, high fiber...yes please! So excited that these are in stores nationwide now!"

— AmyR (5/5)

Better than expected

"Healthier candy that tastes and chews better than expected. This sweet and chewy candy is oh so delicious. It's label shows novel and genius real food products that are healthier alternatives without sacrificing anything. One of these midday at work is a divine few minutes of sweet tooth snack satisfaction. I like that they're individually wrapped so I can grab one for my lunch bag or to enjoy on the go. Deliciously sweet experience."

— ElizebethT (5/5)

Tasty treat - not overly sweet

"I was excited to try these candy bars - something with caramel and chocolate is always enticing. They were not too sweet and there was just enough for a small treat after dinner. They were a little pricey but - i would definitely recommend if you want something small and tasty."

— SaraC (4/5)

BEST VEGAN CARAMEL

"As a die-hard caramel lover, most dairy free versions have been coconut based, which are fine but never really satisfied me. These date caramel candies have been exactly what I’ve been missing, they are so delicious! The nougat is also wonderful, I’m so glad I found these! Only downside is the price is a little steep, but would love to buy again when they go on sale!"

— Lacey (5/5)

These did not have enough in the bag

"You can’t give us chocolate and caramel and then only provide like 4 little pieces in the bag! I wish these came in packs of 50! We would surely buy more often if it wasn’t just a safe treat for once a month!"

— AkkS (5/5)

— HollyJ (5/5)
