    Amy’s Organic Candy Bars come in Three Indulgent Vegan Flavors

    1
    By Alisa Fleming on June 11, 2016 Dairy-Free Chocolate Reviews, Product Reviews

    Amy’s Kitchen has made the leap into sugary treats with a line of organic candy bars, known as Andy’s Dandy Candy (Amy’s father!). Most varieties of Amy’s Organic Candy Bars do contain dairy, but a couple are not only dairy-free, they’re even vegan and kosher pareve!

    I had a preview taste of the Dreamy Bar at a natural food show, and was quite impressed. So when I spotted Amy’s organic candy bars on sale locally (we paid less than $2 a bar, which I thought was worth it), I had to pick up the vegan varieties to review.

    Amy's Organic Candy Bars - Vegan Versions (Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free Dreamy & Sunny)

    Tasting Notes for Amy’s Organic Candy Bars:

    At the time of our review, Amy’s Organic Candy Bars only came in Dreamy and Sunny. They later added Minty, which I’ve included below.

    Both of the varieties we tried came with two mini bars per package, which I just love. One for now, one for later. One for me, one for Tony. It all works out. They’re perfect little 100 calorie portions that do satisfy. Each bar is perfectly coated in chocolate that’s just a touch darker than semi-sweet. I thought the chocolate to filling ratio was pretty spot on – not too thick, but not so thin that any filling is peaking out. The bars also taste surprisingly “fresh.” Some bars, sweet or snack, are good, but taste packaged. These had a “just made” vibe about them.

    I’ve detailed some more specific tasting notes below, but please feel free to leave your own rating and review at the bottom of this post. It helps others make an informed purchasing decision.

    Dreamy

    This bar is described as Chocolate Creamy Nougat Covered in Dark Chocolate. The egg-free center is definitely not nougat, but it has a caramel meets nougat vibe in both flavor and texture. It’s got a lighter mouth-feel than caramel and a slight malted flavor that is oh so sweet, but not really chocolaty. Speaking of sweet, these are a straight up sugary dessert. There is no getting around it. If you’re a strict health nut, move on.

    Amy's Organic Candy Bars Reviews and Info - Vegan and Dairy-Free VarietiesIngredients: organic cane sugar, organic dark chocolate (organic cacao beans, organic cane sugar, organic cocoa butter, sunflower lecithin), organic tapioca syrup, filtered water, organic palm oil, organic unsweetened cocoa powder, soy protein, organic gum acacia, sea salt, agar, organic vanilla extract, organic tapioca starch, organic high oleic safflower and/or sunflower oil, organic soy lecithin. may contain traces of other tree nuts. includes sunflower seeds.

    Nutrition (per 1.3-ounce package): 150 calories, 4.5g fat, 25g carbs, 1g fiber, 19g sugars (includes 19g added sugars), 1g protein.*

    Sunny

    This bar is described as Coconut & Roasted Almonds Covered in Dark Chocolate. It’s still a true candy bar, but a little less sweet than the Dreamy bar. It has a perfectly sweet, chewy coconut filling with chunks and slivers of almonds throughout. It might remind you of a Mounds or Bounty bar in some ways, but it’s better, I promise. As long as these organic candy bars are available, you won’t to worry about those “missing out” feelings.

    They’re a little pricey, but I like to buy them when I see them on sale. I love that they come with two bars in a package (I haven’t tried the Minty one) and they are just so sweet and delicious. I nice little dessert.
