I'll take Fair Trade Organic when I can. I was working for a coffee roaster (JustUsCoffee) when they expanded into chocolate. When I was introduced to the guy who was going to manage the 'Chocolate Factory', I cautioned him that it wasn't going to be like the movie. That was back when Depp's reprise of the Willy Wonka thing was in theaters. The future chocolate maker argued that it would be 'just like the movie' and pretended to think that I had been referring to Chocolat. It's kinda weird that Johnny Depp is in both of those movies. I think the JustUs operation ended up being somewhere between those two extremes ;) Plain old milk chocolate is what I prefer. I’ll take Fair Trade Organic when I can.

I like Clif Nectar and Larabar (again, wish they were organic) for their simplicity. Bora Bora is a really simple bar too, and very different than these sort of 'blended' bars. They've got lots of whole nuts and fruits. For a more blended bar that still tastes really fresh and whole, I like Love Force - pricier, but worth it.

I'd like to try the Raw Revolution one though. I've never tried the Lärabar for the simple reason that the name annoys me. Ä and A are not pronounced the same. And it is not an A with fancy spots on top of it, it's a separate letter. It annoys me how American companies stick them on their logos without thinking about how it changes the pronunciation.

Not all Clif bar products are vegan. I vaguely remember encountering a Luna bar that was not vegan. Maybe the dulce de leche? But there are other Clif and Luna products that are for sure not vegan Meredith
