Energy Bar Reviews

Review: Figamajigs

March 21st, 2009

This bar is high in fiber and antioxidants and has a strong and lovely taste of figs. The chocolate on the outside of the bar is good, but not a very pure form of chocolate (some other bars have higher chocolate content in their chocolate). This bar satisfies the sugar cravings, since it has a very sweet taste and plenty of sugar in the formulation. It’s a perfect bar if you want to exercise and need a quick energy booster that you’ll burn off quickly. Much of the energy from this bar is in the sugar. The price is not bad, buying a box with 15 bars, you pay only $1.59 each.

Taste

Very sweet from sugar and figs. The chocolate cover is not that strong tasting, but the wonderful fig taste off the inside filling is what really makes this bar interesting. It taste like a candy bar because the quantity of sugar.
