Bare Natural Coconut Chips, Chocolate, Gluten Free + Baked, Single Serve Bag - 1.4 Oz (12 Count)

If I were rating these on flavor alone, this would be a 5 star review. I was pleasantly surprised at the taste (which was fortunate, since you receive a case of 12 bags). I bought these because they seemed like the best way to get more coconut, and a "good ingredient" sweet for a high fat, lower carb diet. (There are only 3 ingredients: coconut, "coconut nectar"--whatever that is--and unsweetened chocolate.)But the reviewer who complained about the high sugar content is right. While they do not *taste* overwhelmingly sweet, one 28 gm serving has 13 g of fat, 2 g of protein, but 12 g of carbs (4 g fiber and 8 g sugar). And they pull the same crap as other food labelers and pretend that once you open this bag and realize there's only a handful of product in there, you are somehow NOT going to eat the whole bag. So here are the real metrics. One bag of this snack contains:238 calories18.2 g fat16.8 g carbs (incl 11.2 g sugar)2.8 g proteinThen there is the cost. Even supposedly getting a break because you're buying a whole case at a time, the current price here on Amazon works out to more than $3 per bag, which might still be okay if you could use it as a meal on the run, but I don't find that they abate hunger for that long.They are still worth trying if the cost and nutritional info above are acceptable to you as a meal, and they plug that hunger hole in the middle of the day on the run. That would be how this product shines best.

I like coconut, and I LOVE chocolate. This snack combines the best of both worlds. The coconut is shaved into flakes, and these are packed well enough that there are very few crumbles in each bag. When I first put one of these delectabl e flakes on the tip of my tongue, it teased me with the rich and creamy chocolate flavor. Just the right amount of sweet; not too much, not too little. Then I bit into the flake. Oh my gosh! The perfect crunch. I don't know how Bare made something crunch so perfectly, yet taste so rich and creamy. Whether magic or pixie dust, they discovered the secret for making the perfect snack. Oh, did I mention that this is healthy too? Just three ingredients, and I know what they all are: Coconut, coconut nectar, unsweetened chocolate. Each serving has 9 grams sugar (probably from the coconut nectar) and 4 grams fiber. Each bag has 1.4 servings, and (if you can hold yourself to just one serving) the bag has a zip closure to keep that .4 serving fresh for your next snack. Me? I eat the extra 0.4 serving for the extra 2g fiber. Yeah, that's my story, and I'm sticking to it until the day I die. ;-)

I really love all the bare products at my local store so I thought I would try these sample products. It was nice that each one was about one serving, but that also mean that there was no zipper like the bigger ones. We loved the toasted and chocolate ones, but could have done with out the other two.

I first tried this snack (different brand) when a package came in the Universal Yums box from Thailand. What a treat! I ended up subscribing to this without trying this brand, but it didn't disappoint. It's a nice, light snack with a slight chocolate fix. My only complaint is that the bags don't have a zipper, so you either have to put any unfinished chips in a ziploc or just eat the whole thing. Rolling up the top tightly doesn't keep it crispy.

Taste good if you like coconut. I do very much, but even if you do a little bit I still recommend you try them because yolo! But also because everyone who tried them is like “mmmmmm, tastes so good.” Also they cost a little more than chips, but they’re healthy so they could be saving your life rn. Treat yo self today!

Please note, this product has changed. The original product was called Bare chocolate bliss crunchy coconut chips. The ingredients were Coconut, Coconut Nectar, Unsweetened Chocolate. Now, it is just called baked crunchy chocolate coconut chips and the ingredients are Coconuts, Cane Sugar, Organic unsweetened cocoa. We originally liked this product based on the sweetener used and the flavor. The new formula is much less delicate and in my family's opinion not as good as the original. We had signed up for subscribe and save of this product with the old formula. The when the new box and packaging arrived we did a blind taste test just to verify our original impression. Needless to say we cancelled our subscription due to the unfortunate changes to this product.

If you're looking for a healthier snack this is the way to go. I fell in love with the banana version and had to try the coconut. I must say I am hooked on the chocolate!! Haven't had the opportunity to taste them all at this point, but they have earned a permanent place in my snack rotation.

First, on a positive note, this is a good tasting product with nice small bite size portions. The bags are a great size - not too big - not too small. On the negative side - I so wish I would have been more thorough in reading the description of content before I purchased it. They tout all natural, no trans fat, etc., but it is a lot of calories. Also, the product is from Thailand which I wasn't thorough in reading that part either and would have chosen a product not from abroad.
