If you can get one at the store first, obviously try it before ordering a 16 pack.

This is the plain Jocalat bar and I can say I am hooked.

We gave up processed sugar and are going the organic route on everything. And this is perfect for a chocolate fix. It's great because there is no added sugar (or sugar substitute) unless you count figs.

If you are addicted to the fat (butter) and sugar of the majority of candy bars, this is different.

Tastes what I remember a brownie to be like except less sweet.
When you get off sugar, your tastebuds change. It's worth it though. Some other people, if they are referring to this actual flavor, probably are thinking it isn't sweet enough.

Did not care at all for the orange flavored one. Haven't tried the mint. Coffee/hot variety goes against what I'm doing health wise. I'm alright with pure chocolate though. I think this is as good as it gets.

While some of Larabars have a thick grainy-nut texture, this particular product is very smooth and almost tastes like chocolate candy. For those of us who can't eat real candy because of allergies, this one is a winner! It almost tastes like a soft Girl Scout thin mint cookie.

Wonderful healthy alternative to modern day candy. Don't expect it to taste like a hershey bar, but it does taste very good and I feel better after eating it.

If I were to have an emergency food supply, Larabars and Jocalats would be in the box, (even though I don't know what the shelf life is for them.)

Now about this particular flavor, Chocolate Mint Jocalat:

I love this flavor. It is a rich spearmint flavor, and of course, chocolate.

If you are used to eating candy bars, you might not like these bars at first. I do not eat candy bars (I can't remember the last time I've had one), and I am used to "healthy-tasting" foods; therefore, the taste of these bars are perfect for me. I love them.

Insanely delicious. Texture and taste are phenomenal, they are incredibly satisfying (and don't leave you feeling mildly nauseous like actual junk food) and the ingredients are just marvelous. Mmmm mmm.

Read the ingredients, this is not a HFCS/processed chocolate bar! However if you like "REAL" food and are looking to have a slightly sweet snack that is completely good for you then this is it! I gave up sugar a few months ago, and these bars have been wonderful, a way to satisfy my sweet tooth will all natural fruit-sugar sweetness...the main ingredient in ALL of them (Larabar & Jocalat) is dates, this one also has almonds and cocoa powder, do note that just because it has cocoa powder it does not mean it's sweet, this is unsweetened cocoa powder, the sweetness comes from the dates. It's a snack you can feel good about eating. Just make sure you are not expecting a sugary chocolate taste, or you will be disappointed! If you want a real, raw, good for your body, mind and soul snack then I highly recommend. I also love the Apple Pie Larabar!

One of the best I've had. It doesn't have any unnecessarily added fats. The ingredients are 100% natural, the sweetening is 100% natural, and the taste is 100% delicious. If you love your chocolate with a hint of bitter taste (dark or bittersweet), you'll probably find this bar delicious.

The LaraBar Chocolate snack is really quite tasty. The texture is good, and it has plenty of nuts. A filling treat, it is also thick and chewy, just like a brownie should be. It is a little shy on chocolate taste, though. If it had the chocolate zing of a PureBar Pure Bar Chocolate Brownie Bar, 1.7-Ounce Bars (Pack of 12), then it would be the best of the best. I recommend this healthy snack for anyone who is looking for a healthy gluten-free alternative to a brownie. YUM.

I love most of the Larabar products because they only have a few basic ingredients in them and they are all natural without fillers. They don't add sugar or sugar substitutes which I love. I picked up one of the chocolate coffee flavors thinking "how good could it possibly be when using just a couple ingredients"...well, I'm hooked! I can have a healthy fruit and nut bar WITH chocolate coffee flavor too. You wouldn't know you were eating a fruit/nut bar..really!

These healthy bars have nothing unhealthy or gross or "things that you'd rather not know what you're eating" added to them, like so many "healthy" bars do. These bars have only healthy ingredients (nuts and fruits and naturals such as cocoa or coffee, depending on the variety). No ingredient has to be hidden or substituted with a word that you don't know what it means. All ingredients are proudly in plain English. These bars are healthy and truly amazing and come in lots of different varieties.
