Kelsi's Brownie Batter Bites, Variety Pack, 4 Pack - Whole Ingredients, Healthy Brownie Bites, Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Soy Free Chocolate, Zero Refined Sugar, Paleo Healthy Snack Alternative, Includes Salty Peanut Caramel, Rich Raspberry, Mint Crunch, Double Fudge

Ordered on a recommendation from a friend. They're delicious and soft - better than real brownies but, somehow, also way healthier and feel good giving them to the kids (and they love them).

We really liked the ingredients and each of our family had textures and flavors they liked best. We wish they were offered in movie theaters as they're the perfect size and don't get all over hands. They make terrific take in the car treats and to have at sports events. Glad to have found them and will continue to use them in our gatherings.

These little brownie batter bites have a lot going for them. They're advertised as a healthy alternative to normal brownies, they advertise as paleo friendly, and would almost count as vegan if there wasn't honey in there to "sweeten" the deal. The rich raspberry chocolate flavor is as advertised. A delectable chocolate brownie flavor with a hint of raspberry but not too overpowering. The cocoa flavoring is well balanced with the honey to make a sweet - not bitter - chocolate brownie. They've got a soft chewy texture (not crunchy), and they seemed very fresh right out of the package. Not dry or sticky, and decently dense, similar to a real brownie (but skinnier). Almonds are the first ingredient, which I assume means they're grain free and made of almond flour, which aligns with paleo and certainly helps with the carb content, which is a low 5g of net carbs per square. Unfortunately one square is small (2-3 bites) and not enough to satisfy my sweet tooth and it's very rare that I open a package and not eat the whole thing, bringing you closer to 17g of net carbs. If you're on a diet such as keto, eating a full package is going to count for most of your daily carbs. Also, if you're on a diet, not eating a whole package when you open it is going to be pretty hard! They come in packages of 3 but the individual squares are not wrapped so storing them isn't super easy. That said, these are definitely a healthier alternative to most of the processed snacks out there, and are certainly worth the price of admission. I'd recommend these and get them again.

Love these! As someone who has a sweet tooth but wants to be healthier, these are perfect for whenever I'm craving a healthy treat! My toddler and kiddo love them too.

These are not good, mine weren't even square shaped, they were round. Don't taste anything like brownies. Tastes like your typical health food bar that tastes nothing like it's supposed to, like nuts and dates blended together. Don't let the reviews fool you.

It was so delicious. I can't believe the ingredients are so clean and all whole foods. I do have to say my favorite is the salty peanut caramel

These are the perfect treat -- they are delicious, satisfying and I feel good about eating them (healthy chocolate!) I've tried the Salted Peanut Caramel, Mint Chocolate Crunch and the Raspberry flavors -- all tasty in their own way. I appreciate that they are shelf-stable so don't need to be kept refrigerated so I can grab one on-the-go. But I also like the texture when they are chilled. In addition to being a great treat for my whole family (even my kids and husband ask for these), I love that this is a women-owned and run business. I will definitely be ordering more so that I will always have a stash.

So these snack bites are supposed to be healthier, whole ingredient snacks with special tags of being dairy and gluten free as well as paleo friendly. I don’t really have specific concerns for dairy, gluten or paleo so that is nice but doesn’t factor in for me. Whole food/less processed ingredients is a nice bonus though. Looking at the ingredients and nutrition facts and comparing to generic store brownie bites, it looks like almonds are the main swap for flour used in typical brownies which is interesting because I would have thought the protein content would go up from that but it is essentially the same as standard brownie bites. Total calories are also 70 for a 14g serving which is a similar total count for a larger bite comparison at 120 for 28g. The carb/sugar profile does look better (also coming from dates and honey) and the fat numbers are slightly lower and coming from coconut oil. So overall, I think the healthier aspects are mostly from the whole ingredients and the swaps for sugar and oil sources versus more processed products, but it definitely isn’t a low calorie snack. Additionally, between me and my two kids, I think you can taste that these are “healthier food” snack options. They do still have a solid chocolate flavor and the fudge flavor does come through but one of my kids was initially into them but less excited after the first bite. My other younger kiddo tried one without any information and seemed to enjoy it without mentioning anything so I think he will be the main person eating them. They are quite soft like a brownie should be so the texture is good. Value wise, this is a pretty big box with 8 packets/bars of 3 bites each, however the price per bar is quite a bit higher than standard unhealthy processed versions (not surprising given the ingredients difference) but somewhat in the range of the more expensive healthy whole food snack versions of these things. Mostly meet expectations are long as you are ok with the price for healthier whole food ingredients. I would recommend getting the sampler pack first to see which flavors you and your family might like before committing to a whole pack of a single flavor.
