The new Barebells Marshmallow Peanut Road protein bar is the brand's latest addition to its product portfolio that's crafted with nutrition and texture in the spotlight to offer consumers an alternative option to enjoy this spring. The bar features a blend of marshmallow, roasted peanuts, caramel and milk chocolate that combine to create a soft and slightly crunchy texture. The bar has 16-grams of protein per serving and doesn't have any added sugar.
Marketing Activation Manager Caitlyn Johnston spoke on the Barebells Marshmallow Peanut Road protein bar saying, "Texture-wise, this bar is something completely different. The combination of soft, fluffy marshmallow, crunchy peanuts, chocolate, and a smooth caramel layer is a direct trip to destination deliciousness. This bar is a must-try."
