good! snacks
Choc. P.B.
TL:DR
In 2 Sentences
A dessert-forward vegan bar that skips stevia and high-intensity sweeteners, using a fava bean + brown rice protein blend for 15g of plant protein and a soft, chewy bite.
When to choose good! snacks Choc. P.B.
Choose this if you’re plant-based and want a chocolate–peanut butter treat that still brings meaningful protein—great for an afternoon pick-me-up or pre-workout snack. Skip it if you’re chasing ultra-low-carb or max protein per calorie.
What's in the good! snacks bar?
Chocolate–peanut butter flavor, plant-powered protein. This good!
snacks Choc. P.
B. bar leans on a vegan blend of fava bean and brown rice proteins, with a little backup from real peanuts and almond butter.
Carbs skew higher than most bars because the binder is tapioca syrup and cane sugar (tempered by added soluble tapioca fiber), while fats come mainly from nuts and high‑oleic sunflower oil with a touch of palm kernel oil for structure.
In short: classic PB + cocoa taste built from roasted peanuts, peanut butter, cocoa powder, and peanut extract—plus 240 calories that eat more like a tidy mini meal than a tiny snack.

Protein
1515MIDProtein comes from the Good Greens blend of fava bean and brown rice proteins, supported by smaller contributions from peanuts and almond butter. Pairing fava (lighter in sulfur amino acids) with rice (lower in lysine) helps round out the amino‑acid profile for a vegan bar. At 15g, it lands around the middle of the pack—plant‑based and neutral‑tasting without dairy or soy.
Fat
109MIDMost fat is the good kind from peanuts/peanut butter and almond butter (largely monounsaturated), plus high‑oleic sunflower oil, which is designed to be rich in stable omega‑9 fats. A small dose of palm kernel oil brings a firmer, more saturated fat to help the bar hold shape. The 10g total feels moderate, with a tilt toward heart‑friendlier unsaturated fats from nuts and HO sunflower oil.
Carbs
2620HIGHCarbs are driven by refined binders—tapioca syrup (a cassava‑derived glucose/maltose syrup) and cane sugar—balanced by soluble tapioca fiber, a refined resistant dextrin that adds fiber and softness. Expect quicker energy than you’d get from oats or dates, while the added fiber and nut fats help steady the ride. At 26g, this is a higher‑carb bar overall.
Sugar
94HIGHAbout 9g of sugar come primarily from tapioca syrup and cane sugar—refined sweeteners rather than fruit. There are no high‑intensity sweeteners; a mild lift also comes from vegetable glycerin, a plant‑derived moisture keeper that isn’t counted as sugar. The sweetness reads candy‑bar‑classic, with nuts and fiber helping it feel less like a sugar surge.
Calories
240210HIGHAt 240 calories, the bar’s energy comes mostly from the syrups and nut‑based fats, with protein playing a solid but secondary role. Roughly a quarter of calories come from the 15g of protein, a bit over a third from 10g of fat, and the rest from carbohydrates (some as added sugars). It eats like a small, sweet snack‑meal rather than a pure protein hit.
Vitamins & Minerals
Micronutrients are modest; the standout is sodium at about 11% DV, coming from the added salt and peanut‑based ingredients. You’ll also get small amounts of iron from the legume proteins and cocoa, but there’s no added vitamin/mineral blend here.
Additives
Alongside nuts and cocoa, a few refined helpers do the heavy lifting: soluble tapioca fiber for binding and fiber, vegetable glycerin to keep things soft, sunflower lecithin to emulsify, and natural flavors/peanut extract for consistent taste. These are common, highly processed bar tools that improve texture and shelf life; not a minimalist, whole‑foods‑only recipe.

What are people saying?

“Good snacks are my favorite and are so slept on!!”
Main Praise
Taste leads the charge.
Multiple reviewers call these bars “slept on” and even their daily go-to, and Healthline highlights them as a dessert-like pick that still checks core nutrition boxes for a vegan, gluten-free option.
The texture gets frequent love: soft and chewy rather than jaw-tiring or taffy-like, with the chocolate–peanut butter flavor reading familiar and comforting. There’s also relief from stevia fatigue—this bar relies on conventional sweetness rather than bitter-leaning sugar substitutes, which many vegan bars lean on.
And 15g of protein from a fava–rice combo is a respectable middle ground, especially for those avoiding dairy and soy. In short: it hits the candy-bar craving without abandoning protein.
Main Criticism
Sweetness is the sticking point. Several buyers describe the coating and overall flavor as very sweet, with Minimalist Baker finding the Choc.
P. B.
a little artificial and not a repurchase. Texture isn’t universally adored either; a minority report chalkiness or dryness, which could be batch variation or simply preference.
Ingredient purists will balk at the refined binders and oils—there’s real sugar and tapioca syrup here, plus a small amount of palm kernel oil for structure—leading one reviewer to frame it as more candy bar than protein bar.
Finally, some sources note shared equipment with wheat/soy; strict allergen avoiders should double-check packaging.
The Middle Ground
So which is it—protein bar in disguise, or candy bar with homework? If you line it up against ultra-lean bars, it won’t win on protein-per-calorie: 15g of protein in 240 calories places it squarely in the “snack-meal” lane.
But it also doesn’t lean on stevia or erythritol, which is exactly why fans like Responsible_Jury_289 say it’s “slept on. ” That classic sweetness comes from tapioca syrup and cane sugar, not fruit, and at 9g of sugar the taste reads like a treat.
For some—like Amazon user Maddie B—that still translates to processed or chalky; for others (hi, leahs84), it means “actually tastes good,” not just tolerable.
The fats are mostly from peanuts, almond butter, and high‑oleic sunflower oil, with a small hit of palm kernel oil to keep it firm—more functional than sinister, though it won’t thrill whole‑food diehards.
The open question is your priority: a dessert-leaning vegan bar with solid protein and friendly texture, or a spartan macro machine? This one picks a side: flavor first, pragmatism second.
What's the bottom line?
snacks Choc. is a crowd-pleasing, plant-based chocolate–peanut butter bar that eats like dessert and still adds 15g of protein to your day. It’s vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, and gentle on stevia-averse taste buds.
The trade-off is straightforward: more conventional sweetness (9g sugar) and refined binders to achieve that soft, chewy, candy-bar-like profile. If you want the leanest macro math, look elsewhere; if you want to actually enjoy your protein bar, this is a strong contender. Best for a midday recharge, pre-lift nibble, or a sweet tooth moment that doesn’t skip the protein entirely.
Not for low-carb seekers or ingredient minimalists who avoid refined syrups and structural oils on principle. Flavor-forward, protein credible, and unashamedly fun.
Listicle take: Dessert-y vegan PB + chocolate with 15g protein and no stevia. Great taste, softer texture, 240 calories and 9g sugar—more treat-with-benefits than macro hawk.
