Snack bars are undeniably convenient, but countless options on the market are packed with questionable ingredients like added sugars, artificial additives and long lists of preservatives that undercut their health-forward image—but not Cozy's Butterbars, made with just eight real, recognizable ingredients, including [grass-fed butter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/churn). These snack bars satisfy a sweet tooth with all-organic ingredients like nature's candy (dates,) [rolled oats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/whites-oaty-bar), coconut, raw honey, aromatic vanilla bean, and a pinch of mineral-rich Celtic sea salt.

While Cozy's Salted Matcha Butterbar shares the earthy, smooth, gentle lift of green tea, Warm Cinnamon Butterbar is said to taste like a soft cinnamon roll, and appeals to fans of the viral snack that combines Medjool dates with real butter and a pinch of flaky sea salt for a cookie-dough-like flavor.
