Enjoy Life Cocoa Loco Chewy Bars, Nut, Soy, Dairy, Gluten Free, Non GMO, 6 Boxes (30 Bars Total)

**Original review Jan 2018: I think these bars are my favorite food. I’ve eaten one a day ever since I discovered them about four years ago - that’s a whole lot of bars. Now I get them on subscribe & save. I admit they are expensive for the measly five bars you get per box. They also might be an acquired taste. These are a very dense flourless brownie with mini chocolate chips inside. They aren’t like a crumbly cake bar or a chewy brownie bar. I find that they satisfy my sweet tooth while still keeping me full like one of those fancy protein bars. Most importantly, unlike most granola bars, these cause me no digestive issues whatsoever. My kids (ages 7 and 3 years) love these bars, too. It’s nice to feed them a granola bar they love that isn’t full of junk ingredients. These are very expensive, so I have tried many different kinds of brownie bars. Other brands are no comparison. However, Aldi makes a generic version of the Enjoy Life brand that they call “live G free”. They make a generic Cocoa Loco that is almost exactly the same. So my tip to you is to stop by Aldi if you have one nearby. **UPDATE May 2018: Enjoy Life has changed these bars as of 2018. The new ones are in the blue boxes as shown in the product photos. Overall, I have to say that people will probably prefer the new bars. However, they taste noticeably difference from the old bars. It took me a while to get used to the new taste but I think I do like it. The best change is that they got rid of the oversized box. However, while the new blue box is pretty, it is hard to read the white-on-blue text. The ingredient list is changed, but not significantly. The nutrition info is basically the same, except they’re no longer adding in extra vitamins and minerals. The main change is that although the bars remain 1.15 oz, they are noticeably bigger. They’re bigger because theyre lighter and fluffier now.

We are huge fans of these little bars. Each box contains five 1oz bars, so they are definitely small, but I think that is a pretty clearly stated detail. My kids love these, and they're a perfect snack or breakfast without being too big for their hands or little bellies. I think they're a great 120 calorie snack for me, too. The Sunbutter Crunch flavor is our favorite, which packs in a multitude of vitamins and nutrients without being too sweet. Obviously, Enjoy Life makes allergy friendly products, but this one is really great regardless. They are nice and chewy with little bits of crispy rice, so there's a good texture combination. They are not dry or chalky or crumbly, nor do they have a weird aftertaste, like a lot of other gluten free items. I've gotten multiple shipments of this 6-box order and have never experienced any problems or inconsistencies with the quality of the product. I don't think this is enough to reduce my 5-star rating, but my only complaint would be the packaging. The box really is too big for the contents, and I feel especially wasteful when I get my shipment of 6 boxes. I immediately take all of the bars out of the boxes and fill a large cookie-type jar, just to save space, and the ridiculously large amounts of cardboard head for the recycle bin. I wish they would make one big box with 30 bars in it!

I absolutely love these bars. I found them at my local pharmacy. Because I have so many food allergies and sensitivities, I was sure they'd contain an ingredient that I can't have, but I was pleasantly surprised to read the label and see that they were allergen friendly. I'm familiar with Enjoy Life because I use their chocolate chips in my bakery recipes, but I haven't tried any snack products by them. These have become a staple for me. I keep them in my pantry at all times. They're perfect for an on-the-go snack - just the right size to satisfy my sweet tooth but not high in calories. They're chocolatey and chewy, and I don't feel like I'm eating a health food. Some might say they're pricey, but I'll gladly pay the money for something that's both delicious and nutritious.

These bars are great if you have any food allergies or not for that matter! I think they taste great! My daughter can't eat nuts and her or I oats either. So most snack bars are out of the running, they all have nuts, oats, soy and other junk and additives or tons of sugar. These bars are so perfect. Not to sweet, not too crunchy or too soft. Just perfect. The plain as well as the berry and apple flavor are all great! My one complain has to be the price/size of these!!! They are SOOOOO small. You really need two to be a filling snack. They are more like eating two of those little fun size candy bars maybe 3. They are just so small and so we are always hungry again. one and a half bar at least would a bit more realistic as a decent snacking bar without needing to take 3-4 snacks (that they eat all at the same time). But they are a handy snack at the very least for those of us with allergies or food intolerance who want something that actually TASTES GOOD! Now mind you they are not anything fancy, if you are used to sugar ladened food you may be surprised (try the apple flavor first if so.) but we don't eat much sugar and my kids love these. Even my son likes them and he isn't a fan of sunbutter as my daughter is but he doesn't have to be so I can't blame him LOL.
