✨ Cocomels Toffee Bark
🥼 H = Health Check
This little bark isn’t pretending to be a kale salad—it’s a straight-up mental health prescription for when I need something sweet. ✅ The front of the bag proudly flexes its Made Without Dairy and Non-GMO Verified badges. The back tells us it’s made without dairy, gluten, GMOs, soy, cholesterol, or palm oil. 🥳 There’s a vegan symbol too (hi, plant-based friends!).
⚠️ Important note: I don’t see a formal gluten-free certification. The FDA requires products labeled gluten-free to test at less than 20ppm, so while this snack is made without gluten, it’s also manufactured on shared equipment with milk, peanuts, eggs, wheat, tree nuts, soy, and sesame. Translation: if you’re extra sensitive, use caution.
Nutrition-wise: per serving we’ve got 170 calories, 10g of fat, and 16g of sugar. There’s also a lone 1g of protein (hey, wins are wins). This is definitely a dessert for joy, not a health food. 💃
👅 E = Exam (Taste Test)
Thin, crunchy, toffee-nutty goodness wrapped in smooth oat milk chocolate. 🍫 The toffee inside is sticky enough to camp out in my teeth, but honestly? Worth it. The sweet-salty crunch combo gets me every time. I do have to pre-portion this snack onto a napkin, or else the whole bag mysteriously vanishes. (Classic “don’t-leave-me-alone-with-it” situation.)
🛒 A = Accessibility
I grabbed mine at Jewel for $3.99 a bag 💸. You can also find them at Mariano’s, Pete’s Fresh Market, Amazon, and more.
❤️ R = Recommendation
Diagnosis: sinus tachycardia—this stuff makes my heart happy. 💓 It’s one of my go-to treats, though I keep it as an occasional indulgence since it’s high in sugar and calories. Still, if I see it on sale? Straight into my cart.
👩👩👧 T = Treatment Plan (Sharing Factor)
My mom already knows this brand well and likes some of their other treats too. Friends and family know this is a “safe bet” gift for me—if it’s not my usual cookies, a bag of Cocomels Toffee Bark is always welcome. (Spoiler: it rarely lasts more than a day at my house.)
Stay safe/happy/healthy
