Awake Caffeinated Chocolate Energy Bites (Milk Chocolate, 50)

Good flavor, convenient packaging and really gives me the pick-up needed when tired or sleepy. They actually may have a little too much caffein when taken with something containing caffein like a Coke or Pepsi. I had a coffee after supper then one of these and hour latter and it was too much for me. Left me a little light-headed. The effect will be different for everyone, so don't make a decision based on mine. This is a great product, works as intended and I have already re-ordered.

First of all, these TASTE AMAZEBALLS!!! If you love dark chocolate and mint as I do, you will absolutely love these!! I would buy these just as a chocolate treat! The portion is PERFECT, as is the consistency. I would compare this to Ghirardelli, no kidding!! Efficacy on staying awake: First, NO JITTERS! I have not tried these but about 4-5 times as I am trying to make them last due to the high cost. The very first time I consumed these I can confidently say that it worked exactly as described. The second, I THINK so. The problem is, I'm not so sure I am a good example of whether or not this works. I am in menopause, suffer from insomnia in general, and thanks to that sorry excuse for a POTUS and the global viral pandemic that is currently plaguing the planet, I am also under a great deal of stress which causes extreme fatigue to begin with. Oh, did I mention I am also a fulltime accounting student?! Yah, that will exhaust ANYONES brain, thus the reason why I purchased these. Also, because I am a regular, if not chronic coffee drinker, therefore I do not doubt I have developed caffeine sensitivity. Despite what it SOUNDS like, this means that caffeine has LESS of an effect on me. If I were to give up coffee for a few days or a week, I THINK this product would work very well, but I really don't know. I will say, that when I consumed TWO the third or fourth time I ate them I think they DID work. Overall, I would buy these again despite the high price and do suggest you give them a try and please review them as I am dying to know how well or poorly they work on others. Stay safe, be kind and wash your hands everyone.

Love em. Don't know how many packages of these I've bought. Alot.

I’m not gonna sing the praises of this product, but I am gonna cut to the fat; it’s a good one. I’m a college student, and a caffeine fiend (Coffee, tea, energy drinks, the like), so I like trying new things. I got a bar of this at a local shop, and I was surprised. It tastes… well, like regular milk chocolate. It melts well in your mouth, but in your bag it won’t melt nearly as fast (I think it’s cause it’s a thicker piece? Not Tony Chocolonely thick, but it’s sturdy), and… it’s not ambrosia, but I was surprised it tasted like regular chocolate. I don’t think this is a good replacement for a morning coffee, cause A) it’s a piece of candy, and B) it has about 50 mg of caffeine per piece, which… yeah, is about the equivalent to half a cup of drip coffee (which is about 90-ish mg per 8 Oz cup), so eating two would equate to the obvious. I think this is better for during or after lunch, before your 3 pm drawl. It’s a nice treat that can help perk you up, help you feel a bit better after a long day, I think it should be treated as that, rather than a coffee replacement. HERE’S THE NEGATIVE BIT: BUT the bigger issue I feel is important is that they don’t say where they source their cocoa from, and it doesn’t say if it’s fair trade or not on their website. It only says that their product is “made from ethically sourced, common-to-market cocoa processed by some of the largest suppliers in the world.” I feel that it could be clarified more. It doesn’t take from the product itself, but if you’re a more scrupulous shopper or care about this, I would be wary.

I love em! Like a PB cup that I dont feel guilty after eating. Perfect for the mid day crash or when I just want a sweet bite after lunch. The caffeine buzz was appropriate. It was strong enough to give me some pep, but subtle enough to not give me jitters. Also as someone who likes an organized cabinet, the box (really more like a dispenser) works super well and there are multiple ways you can open it - storing on it's side vs. standing up etc. Or just rip the box open and go to town on it if that's your thing.

The item arrived quickly. The item provides a pick me up, quickly and easily.

Both my spouse and I are completely dependant on our first-thing-in-the-morning caffeinated drinks. I bought this to have a smaller amount of caffeine always available for those days when we need an extra boost in the afternoon. Also good for stashing a handful at work. Here's the problem - the peanut butter ones are so good. I find myself wanting a little bite of chocolate and this box starts calling to me, tempting me to indulge until I become an over-caffeinated monster surrounded by little orange wrappers. So far I have had no issues with chocolate bloom, as other customers have reported. This is when you get a white residue on the chocolate that many mistake for mold. It is totally safe, just fat and sugar escaping, usually caused by chocolate being stored or shipped in unstable temperatures. But again, that has not happened to me with this product. Skip the caramel, not worth it. The plain chocolate is fine, but the peanut butter is seriously where it is at.

3 stars bc they're freakin delicious and I love them but I have to say - I gobble a few of these down and a couple just tasted sort of off. Upon closer inspection of others, some of them came in the box with their wrappers open!!!! Not sure if this was a manufacturing thing or what, the box was taped shut and looked like it could have been opened but it usually has some tape on it anyway (i've gotten these before). There seemed to be extra wrapping on some of the wrappers hanging off and I really want to believe nothing has been tampered with, especially since I already ate a bunch. It's hard to tell if they were opened by a person or maybe ripped open naturally by themselves while being jostled around in delivery. The ones that I've eaten since that have been fully wrapped with no tears tasted fine, and I guess I will just throw out the ones that have tears. Sort of alarming
