Organic Chocolate Chip Rice Crispy Squares

This is a small 22g crispy rice bar with vegan chocolate chips that leans hard on a health halo, and the label tells the real story. Every one of its 7g of sugar is added sugar, which works out to roughly 31 percent of the 90 calories, so functionally this is a candy bar dressed in organic and allergen friendly language. The certifications are genuine and worth something if you have dietary restrictions, but the six vegetable extracts are trace amounts added for marketing, and with just 1g protein and 1g fiber it will not keep you full. Reach for it as an occasional treat that happens to be gluten free and nut safe, not as a wholesome snack.
