 "A bit of a let down." 2009-11-23
By Meticulum (Vinalhaven, Maine USA)
I love coconut in pretty much any way, shape or form. Given the great reviews these bars have gotten, I couldn't resist getting a couple boxes. Unfortunately, they were a bit of a let down. I was anticipating them to taste like the coconut in a Mounds bar, but they simply taste like generic coconut flakes that have been slightly sweetened and mixed with a bit of paraffin to mold them into bars. Yes, PARAFFIN. Both macaroons and (the coconut in) Mounds bars are noticeably sweeter.



They're certainly edible, but given all of the calories in one bar (264 calories / 151 fat calories) I really expected them to taste a bit more decadent and lack the waxy mouth feel.

 "My taste buds are still saying wow!" 2009-11-19
By bookreader (Marina, CA USA)
I bought these bars without really knowing what I was going to get, but because of the better than decent reviews I figured they would be okay to say the least. Well I must say I was really surprised about how good these are its like eat a Mound's bar with out the chocolate. My kids really liked them, but they are definitely a treat bar as they are very sugary, sorry rice syrupy. The composition on my package listed the blend as 50% coconut and 50% rice syrup.

 "Healthy Coconut Mounds" 2009-11-18
By Liberty4all (New York, NY USA)
Eating one of these did remind me of eating Mounds bars as a kid (without the chocolate). I'm not sure rice syrup has a metabolic advantage over sugar, but it doesn't taste overly sweet like a Mounds bar does so I don't think they add a lot of it. As others have pointed out, don't be too scared off by the 75% serving of saturated fats in one of these. From what I've read, coconut oil is good for you. However, the total calorie count is pretty high so if you're watching your total daily caloric intake this is pretty concentrated stuff.

 "Make a sandwich with Green and Black chocolate bars" 2009-09-12
By ringo (California)
I put one of these bars between two organic dark chocolate bars for a do-it-yourself organic mounds bar.



Not the most healthy health food, I know. But so good.



 "Tasty coconut bars without any junk!" 2009-09-08
By Laura Drinon (Charlton, MA)
These moist and delicious, gluten and lactose-free (vegan and organic to boot) bars are a very special, lightly sweet treat. If you like coconut, you will love the Oskri Coconut Bar. Who needs all of the garbage you find in almond joys or mounds?! YUM!
