"Wait...an energy bar from a candy company? REALLY???"
The blunt truth is that most energy bars are built around some pretty decent ingredients but start off low in carbs and taste like...well...in our view...absolute garbage. Big manufacturers, thinking "left to right" to get their bars to taste less disgusting and have some quick fuel, just DUMP sugar into their energy bars. For example the "Crunchy Peanut Butter" CLIF® Bar has 88% of its total sugar from added sugar, but has over 20% less caloric density per ounce than our bar. Or they just taste downright weird, which is our opinion after trying the Honey and Cookies & Cream waffles from Honey Stinger®...which are nearly 32% lower in caloric density per ounce than our bar with 92% of calories from carbs (good for sprinters and HIIT but not as well suited for lasting energy during endurance sports and sustained performance needs) and have less than half our electrolytes.
Our bars were launched to solve a simple issue. A family member (mountaineer) asked us about forming our soft peanut brittle into pressed bars to put into his nut and fruit trail mix. They liked the sugar, fat, and protein, and LOVED the taste of our bars. But then...
We decided to think "right to left"...which means that we started with our stupidly amazing and addicting soft peanut brittle candy and built a bar around it, adding all the good things your body needs when competing in endurance sports, strenuous sustained activity, or even hours into physically demanding work.
NOT
ALL ENERGY BARS ARE CREATED EQUAL.
FAST
FUEL
Simple carbs (the peanut candy) quickly replenish muscle glycogen during intense sustained athletics or work activity
Optimal carb ratio (58%) for maximum energy
Electrolytes: Sodium, Potassium, & Magnesium
Fruit-based sugar
(fructose from the dried cranberries and raisins) for lasting fuel.
Rolled oats (a great complex carb) and cinnamon stabilize
blood sugar and keep you from hitting the wall (AKA "bonking").
LONG-LASTING
“REAL FOOD” ENERGY
Protein and fat from peanuts and peanut butter provide even longer-lasting energy.
Peanuts and Peanut Butter are also very low glycemic index foods
(15 and 22, respectively).
INCREDIBLE
FLAVOR
Any bar is worthless if
it’s so terrible you don’t want to eat it. We make the best tasting energy bar on
planet earth, because for us everything starts
with taste and builds from there.
We’re dead serious when we make the claim “an energy bar you look forward to
eating”.
SIZE: 8 ounces (approx. 24 squares) in reclosable pouch. Also available as optional slabs (8oz total) so you can break your own pieces as desired.
STORE: Store at room temperature. Does not require refrigeration.
ALLERGENS: Peanuts. Made in a facility that also uses tree nuts, finished wheat products, and dairy as candy ingredients but NOT on shared surfaces.
