Gertrude and Bronner’s Magic ALPSNACK   

I’m a bit “barred” out and approach the new energy bars out there at an arms reach.  They have to be really good, healthy and interesting to take on an international hiking trip… but now the only challenge is which to choose from!

These bars come in a variety of unusual flavors...packaging is great and flavor is incredible.
Plums and Currents : The combination of plump currants and plums with roasted almonds and hemp nuts gives the perfect amount of sweetness to this incredibly satisfying snack.
Apricots and Cranberries:  The sweet tartness of cranberries and sun-ripened apricots combine for the ideal tangy taste experience.
Coconut, Mango & Pineapple:  The subtle flavor of the dried unsweetened coconut complements the mango and pineapple for a deliciously tropical treat. 
Fair Trade Dark Chocolate:  Rich dark chocolate, aside from making these bars absolutely incredible, is a high source of anti-oxidants,so you can have your cake and eat it, too! 
Fair Trade Espresso Chocolate: Nothing like a little espresso chocolate to give you that morning or afternoon buzz. Perfect at any time of the day

The packaging is different than most...not glossy or flashy but typical of Dr. Bronner’s products.  Nice muted colors consistent with associated product inners.

If you really need to squeeze it in a pack, think soft cookie. They don’t break up but sort of crumble due to the fact that they are moist rather than cardboard like.

The Espresso Chocolate is amazing! substantial little chunks fill the bar.

A bit pricey.

trail, work, travel snack that you feel really good about!
