  • Enjoy Life: Decadent Bars

    Posted at 7:16 AM by Brittany, on October 21, 2013

    I love to bake. I love shopping for the ingredients, I love the process of mixing things together, and most of all I love to eat what I have created. I don’t buy a lot of baked goods at the store because most of them contain dairy, and are full of things that remind me of pets and anti freeze fluid- tastes good, but eventually kills you. Oreo’s are an exception…

    One company that has continued to impress me with their baked goods is Enjoy Life Foods. In fact, I have a box of their snicker-doodle cookies hiding in my cupboard for my morning coffee pairing. I have reviewed some of their products before, but the last two reviews weren’t for baked goods, which just proves how versatile Enjoy Life products are. SO YUM!

    One of the best sights in the world.

    One of the best sights in the world.

    20131012-154851

    I was asked to try the four new decadent chewy bars and review them. All opinions listed below are my own, and while I did get these bars for free, I was not compensated for this review. Let’s start with my least favorite two of the group.

    Cinnamon Bun

    20131012-154858

    I opened this one first, because my mood decided this would be the best one. I was sadly disappointed and didn’t think this tasted much like a cinnamon bun at all. In fact I didn’t think it tasted much like cinnamon even. It wasn’t terrible, but I wouldn’t buy it.

    Cherry Cobbler

    20131012-154905

    I didn’t like this one at all. I don’t know what else to say about it..I just didn’t like it.  

    Now for the two I LOVED.

    Chocolate Sunbutter

    20131012-154913

    I gave up on sunflower seed butter after overdoing it a few years ago. This was a nice welcome back snack to the world of sunbutter. This was DELICIOUS and tasted JUST as the name implied..chocolate shell with a creamy sunbutter filling. Two thumps up.

    S’mores

    20131012-154920

    BOOM. This was my favorite one. Are you shocked? I wasn’t either..chocolate and more chocolate..yes please. I wouldn’t say this tasted just like a campfire gathering with marshmallows and crunchy graham crackers, but it was SO good. Two thumbs and one big toe UP UP UP! I would buy this one again, TOMORROW!

    I would recommend this company to anyone, but specifically to those with allergies or dietary restrictions. All of these products are free of: wheat, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, egg, soy, fish, and shellfish. These are also a great healthier option for kids (or kids with allergies) as a quick snack! If you’re interested in trying these decadent bars, enter the code: DECBLOG10 at checkout for 10% off your first order!! WHOO DISCOUNTS!

    Q: Which of these four bars sounds the best to you?

      I saw these bars at my local organic food shop and I definitely eyed up the S’mores bar. I think any kind of Cherry flavored bar tastes gross, so I wouldn’t have even tried it! Sometimes they end up tasting like cough syrup. Blech!

      I LOVE Enjoy Life products. A huge part of it is because they’re allergy friendly, but they also just make flat out awesome tasting foods. And your question shouldn’t even be a question… S’mores is obviously the best 😛

      I’m sad to here that the cinnamon bun wasn’t good. I love that flavor especially in Quest bars. Oh man, that flavor gets me everytime. I’d love love to try the smores. I cannot remember the last time I had that flavor in a bar. Thanks for the awesome review!

      A vegan smores bar sounds like heaven!!! Sadly, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that brand up here. I’ll have to see if they’re in Canada, or at least if they ship here.

      Perfect timing! I’m going to try going gluten-free in november {until Thanksgiving…maybe past and see how my stomach & body responds. I have a trouble losing weight and my stomach is often irritable after eating breads/pastas. So I figured I might as well give it a try and these bad boys would be nice treats during the trial 🙂

      Before reading your reviews I would have probably said the cinnamon, I love the cinnamon roll quest bar. After reading reviews bring on the s’mores! I love having healthy snack bars to take with me to work/class/whenever hunger strikes.

      I’d be so torn between opening the cinnamon roll and s’mores bars first too. Cinnamon is one of my all-time favorite flavors (but so is chocolate, as I’m assuming you’ve figured out… 😉 ). That’s really disappointing that it wasn’t better, but HOORAY for chocolate s’mores!!! I’ve never tried sunflower butter before, but maybe that needs to change…

      So exciting for you that they’re sending you free products to review!! It’s every blogger’s dream! 🙂

      Lucky lady getting some freebies! Jealous! I’ve seen a lot of people commenting on how great Enjoy Life foods are, but I have yet to try them myself. I trust your taste buds, but am surprised that cinnamon bun didn’t taste cinnamony. I would think I’d like cherry cobbler, but who knows? Not surprised on your #1 being S’mores, haha.

      When it comes to bars I generally don’t like fruity flavoured ones. So I can totally understand why you liked the chocolate ones! That is awesome that you got to try these out though!

      I hate bars in all forms… Food Bars… Bar Bars… The word BAR is just weird. Say it a million times over. WTF. Who the hell came up with the word BAR and why does it mean FOOD and a place where people can get sloshed and a place where women can have some nasty drunk ass slobbering all over her pushed up BOOBS? I will call that place the dooshtastical playground. I don’t swing on those swings… Maybe once in a BLUE MOON I will swing on the monkey bars though – LOOK – BARS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!

      I’m a huge fan of the ENJOY LIFE brand. I use their dairy and soy free mini-chocolate chips for all my chocolate/baking needs.
      I’d want to try the Chocolate Sunbutter bar because I’ve never had anything with Sun Butter before, so I want to see what all the fuss is about.

      you get so much sweet mail!!! yummy yummy! we should probably move in together so i can be that roomate that leeches off of whatever you get and in return, i will paint you pictures on canvases of mountains.

      MMmmmm I want sommeeeee. Honestly, I am just like you – chocolate in the title? I will probably like it. Any type of “butter” in the title? I will probably eat it in about 3 seconds and have no shame 😀 I’m surprised you didn’t really like the cinnamon one! I usually eat those up like a boss (and I think you would too).. but then again, I haven’t tried these bars and sometimes its a let down FO SHO. I feel that. And I second what Lily said – roomies sometime in the future? We can just share everything we get sent… yes yes. Think of all the things we would have if all 3 of us, make that 4 of us cause Megan counts too, lived together – we’d never have to grocery shop <<— okay a little over exaggerated there but STILL!
