Oh My Freaking Goodness.

Here at Miette, we find candy very exciting. But this is almost too much. To express our enthusiasm, we'll need italics & pom pons & a whole new form of punctuation...

The Go-Max-Go bars have arrived! These are brilliant, delicious, all-natural, veganized versions of classic candy bars. Eeeeee!

The Twilight, above, contains caramel & nougat, covered in rice-milk chocolate. This was the first bar we were able to try, and we flipped out. But there was so much fun to follow...

From Miette

Jokerz! Chock-full of nougat, caramel, & peanuts, and covered in creamy rice-milk chocolate. We love the saltiness & roastiness of the peanuts, and how perfectly they contrast with the sweet elements. One (of a million) great thing about these bars is that they are nice & sweet like you want a candy bar to be, but not too sweet! The elusive perfect point of sweetness!

From Miette

None of us expected to fall for the Buccaneer. Nougat? Meh. In candy bars it's usually spongey & eggy & mysterious. But today we understand nougat. It's gooey & sweet & simply lovely.

From Miette

And oh, the Mahalo. I've been eating two a day. And a sensible dinner! Creamy, gorgeous coconut center topped with three roasted almonds, wrapped in rice-milk chocolate. I was eating a Mahalo while I took this photo. How can you resist that pretty pretty wrapper?

In conclusion! Be very, very excited. Our expert non-vegan testers verified that these are better than the traditional versions, and they are certainly better than the way I remember the candy bars of my youth! We love love love that they're vegan, but the fact that they don't contain any artificial ingredients!!!! Artificially-flavored treats always leave you feeling like, "Um, did I eat that? I think I tasted it, & maybe I enjoyed it...". But when you eat one of these bars, you feel like, "Yeah! I just ate a candy bar! Let's ride our bikes to the pool! Yay for fun!"
