    Baba Joon’s Chocolate Chewies (DISCONTINUED)

    1
    By Alisa Fleming on May 28, 2014 Discontinued Products, Product Reviews

    Baba Joon’s Chocolate Chewies have been discontinued. In fact, the company is out of business. For alternate treats, see our Dairy-Free Cookies & Brownies Review Section.

    Self-proclaimed as “little chocolate miracles” Baba Joon’s Chocolate Chewies are indeed a unique delight.

    Baba Joon's Chocolate Chewies - Orange Almond

    These simple treats are made with just powdered sugar, egg whites, cocoa, gluten-free vanilla extract, salt, and a smattering of wholesome add-ins, depending on the flavor (i.e. – walnuts in the Walnut variety). It’s hard not to love an ingredient label that is so straight forward! And yes, this is a  great way to naturally enjoy chocolate without the need for dairy or soy.

    Tasting Notes for Baba Joon’s Chocolate Chewies

    We had the opportunity to sample 5 of the Baba Joon’s Chocolate Chewies flavors; all were crackly on the outside, but very soft and chewy on the inside. I would label them as fun to eat, with a handmade appeal (each one was slightly different in size and shape). Note that they are made in a gluten-free facility, but there is no mention of dairy in the facility (they do note tree nuts, peanuts, and egg whites on the label).

    Orange Almond

    This variety had a wonderfully pure orange essence with a strong nutty flavor and texture on a hot cocoa-like backdrop.

    Apricot

    This variety was quite different from the others – it was actually a dried apricot surrounded by chocolate chewie goodness. It was very soft and tender, just a wee bit chewy, very low in calories (just 36 per cookie), and like a hot cocoa covered apricot in flavor. It wasn’t my cup of tea, but could be a hit for those who love chocolate-covered apricots.

    Walnut

    These Walnut Baba Joon’s Chocolate Chewies turned out to be my favorite. Each bite contained nice nutty nuances without being overly assertive on the walnut side. The outer shell is thicker, crustier, and a little more cocoa-y than some of the others with an almost gooey little center.

    Coconut

    Like chocolate macaroons, the Coconut was more tender, sweet and rich in sweet chocolate flavor than the others. Very tasty!

    Coconut Almond

    Not as sweet as the Coconut, and had a thicker more crackly shell. The almond added an almost savory nutty vibe that contrasted the hot cocoa finish. There were subtle coconut flavors in the very soft and flavorful center.

    There are more flavors of Baba Joon’s Chocolate Chewies – the Mexicali (with cinnamon, chili, and cayenne) and Ginger Almond have this spice lover’s intrigue.

    I did have some problems with the packaging. They came in little bags of 3, and most were not sealed properly and were either popped open on arrival, or opened when I moved them. It looks as though they have larger packaging online that is substantially more sturdy and with more chocolate miracles per box. I recommend buying those larger sizes instead.

    The Facts on Baba Joon’s Chocolate Chewies

    Certifications: Baba Joon’s Chocolate Chewies do not appear to have any certifications at this time.

    Dietary Notes: By ingredients, Baba Joon’s Chocolate Chewies are dairy-free / non-dairy, gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free, and vegetarian. Nonetheless, check with the company on their manufacturing processes for all varieties if potential allergen cross-contamination is an issue for you. Processes and labeling are subject to change at any time for any company / product.
