Review of 'Laughing Giraffe Organics' Pineapple Macadamia Snakaroons (with Coconut and Cacao)

Laughing Giraffe Organics -- Pineapple Macadamia Snakaroons (with Coconut and Cacao) (vegan)
Overall Rating: 4.5/5
Summary: what richness! The coconut flavour smacks you in the face immediately. The coconut flakes are juicy with no hint of dryness and it's just a buttery ball of goodness, really. It's got that sweet and salty taste blend down pat. The macadamia and cacao bits, combined with the coconut flakes give a complex and fun texture. I recommend trying these goodies.

Well, this is definitely not an 'empty calorie' snack, that's for sure. Just take a look at the ingredients and you'll see what I mean. It's all very clean and wholesome. Don't be too alarmed by the high saturated fat content. This fat is coming from the coconut ingredients and actually have some great health benefits you can read about here. There are skin-related benefits, benefits for diabetics, etc. But as with all things, moderation is important, so don't go overboard with these treats!

I like that the pieces are compact and not falling apart in chunks. You can actually bite into it and it'll stay together, save for the little crumbs. Ughh why are these so good!? I'm having such a difficult time just having one piece.
