Buzz Bites Chocolate Energy Chews
Today I bring you a new twist on the energy mint idea, and that is Buzz Bites Chocolate Energy chews. All of the other energy mints I’ve brought to you have been, more or less, caffeinated breath mints. Vroom Foods, who also produce the previously reviewed Foosh mints, are breaking the mold a bit, and sending out something a bit different.
Are these for the hardcore chocolate connoisseur? Nah. Never going to replace your specialized confections. This is a functional food, designed with a goal in mind, and a hope that it tastes satisfactory in the process. I think Buzz Bites accomplish that, and maybe a little more. It wont replace my Hershey bars, but it can earn a spot in my energy mint rotation.
The flavor is a smidge on the bitter side, but that is going to happen when you squeeze the equivalent of a cup of coffee into a half inch cube. Are Buzz Bites overly bitter? I don’t think so. The texture is also nice; soft, dare I say creamy? Didn’t stick in my teeth either, a major plus for me.
Buzz Bites provide a noticeable energy boost, and as of this writing, I wish I had waited until morning to write this review; I feel a restless night coming on. Certainly enough to get you moving in the morning.
These are perfect to keep in your pocket, purse, desk, etc for when you need that extra pick-me-up, and can’t get to your usual fix. Nice change of pace too, if your usual fix happens to be energy mints. I feel comfortable giving them my all important recommendation!
