Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Summary: Super duper crunchy and a hit with everything. These taste light and fresh and are perfectly lightly chocolatey. I am keen on trying the other flavours, keeping in mind it's a nice treat once in a while because it just isn't all that nutrient-rich.

The ingredients are fine, but I am flagging that unsustainable production of palm oil is a significant contributor to deforestation and climate change. Major companies (e.g. Nestle, Unilever, Starbucks) have committed to sustainable production of palm oil. The website mentions no statement on this. Of course, smaller companies are in a tougher position to pursue sustainable ingredients, so they must rely on global momentum in support of a transition to sustainable production that is supported by the appropriate legal and regulatory incentives.
The nutrition profile is okay. It's low-calorie, has very few grams of protein and fiber (sadly), and is quite high in sugar. So, it's yummy as hell, but not very nutritious. It's a nice indulgence.
