Larabar's Maya Chocolate Mint

I have been quite intrigued by Larabars ever since I read somewhere in a magazine about a celebrity eating these all day, every day during a session of filming. I have found them in Cold Storage'd Marketplace and have grabbed a different one everytime I shopped at one. The range that is stocked in Singapore is quite limited and I'm soon running out of options. Soon, I will post about Larabars themselves, but for now, I shall share the Maya Chocolate Mint bar ($4.20).



This bar is a chocolate alternative to the fruit-central Larabars, containing organic cocoa and organic cocoa nibs instead of your usual milk chocolate or chocolate solids... or whatever they may use. The mint bars are quite unique in the sense that the chocolate taste is not the typical commerical type, but a slightly bitter, coffee-tasting flavour, complimented by bursts of mint. These bars, as with pretty much all the other bars in both the Larabar and the Maya bar range, are bound together with dates and nuts. The mint bars contain organic almonds as well as a peppermint and vanilla flavouring.



While these bars do not serve to satisfy those intense chocolate cravings that we all get once in a while, they are quite tasty as a snack, all enhanced by the fact that these "pure organic chocolate food bars" are gluten, dairy and soy free AND do not contain added sugar. Do we need any other reasons to give these bars a try the next time our tummies feel like something satisfying yet friendly?
