NuGo Dark Bars are a Great Snack for Vegan Chocoholics

NuGo Nutrition Bars have a corner on the chocolate-covered crispy bar market. They have several collections of snack and protein bars, and they come in a wide array of vegan and dairy-free flavors. One of their most popular lines is NuGo Dark Bars. Each flavor is coated in decadent dark chocolate, and contains at least 10 grams of protein.

NuGo Dark Bars are a Great Snack for Vegan Chocoholics

I have tried the NuGo Dark Bars in Chocolate Chocolate Chip. They make a nice sweet afternoon treat, with a rustic crispy texture and TONS of chocolate. There was a generous chocolate coating and those nearly full-sized chocolate chips throughout (pictured above). If you adore real semi-sweet dark chocolate than this bar could be for you.

I feel a bit premature in this review, as we’ve only sampled one flavor from among their broad selection. That said, these are chocolate-covered crispy bar treats! A bit more indulgent on the gut than I could enjoy daily, but a find for those who love candy bar-like bars that pack in the non-GMO soy and/or rice protein and chocolate.
