Truffle-Inspired Protein Bars

The New Larabar Truffle Bars Feature the Taste of Chocolate Truffles

— January 29, 2023 — Lifestyle
With Valentine's Day just around the corner, General Mills has debuted two indulgent new offerings: Larabar Truffle Bars and new Nature Valley Crunchy Dipped Granola Squares.

A sweeter and richer take on your average protein bar, the new Larabar Truffle Bars each feature "7 whole food ingredients or less for a melt-in-your mouth bite." In total, there are three new Truffle Bars to try, including Chocolate Raspberry Truffle, Chocolate Peanut Caramel Truffle, and Double Chocolate Truffle.

On the other hand, the new Nature Valley Crunchy Dipped Granola Squares are a crunchier and slightly saltier option that features the sweet taste of granola, but with no artificial flavors, no artificial colors, and no high fructose corn syrup. These new Crunchy Dipped Granola Squares come in three flavors, including Chocolate, Peanut Butter Chocolate, and Salted Caramel.
