My Thoughts


While all of these products sound great, I was most excited to try the barkTHINS. barkTHINS are a line of better-for-you snacking chocolates that  are perfectly portioned thin slivers of chocolate crammed full of snack lovers’ favorite natural ingredients. Currently available in a variety seriously tasty flavors, these snacking chocolates are perfect for sharing with loved ones (or not!).

The five flavors of BarkTHINS include  Dark Chocolate Almond, Dark Chocolate Mint, Dark Chocolate Toasted Coconut, Dark Chocolate Pretzel, Milk Chocolate Peanut, Blueberry Quinoa, and Dark Chocolate Pumpkin Seed. With so much variety, there's something for everyone, but personally, I would like to horde them all for myself.


The barkTHINS snacking chocolates are a melt-in-your mouth delight. Each piece is the perfect portion of chocolate you can indulge in without guilt. The chocolate is rich and creamy, but it's also made with only certified fair trade ingredients that are free from any GMOS. But don't think this will take away from the taste. This is gourmet chocolate that is ten times better than most of the bars lining grocery store shelves. It's made to suit an adult palette.



Some of the flavors I knew I would love before I even opened the bag, like the Dark Chocolate Pretzel and the Toasted Coconut. You can't go wrong with those combinations . I was a little more tentative when it came to the Blueberry Quinoa and Pumpkin Seed, but even these varieties  surprised me and kept me coming back to more. They were a different twist on chocolate that make barkTHINS even more unique. 

Overall, I adored all the flavors I tried and I might be completely addicted. If you're a chocolate lover, you should definitely give barkTHINS try. To learn more about this fantastic product or find a location near you, be sure to visit their website.
