Misfit's Plant-Based Protein Bars are Chewy and Gooey

— January 3, 2026 — Lifestyle
Texture and flavor are among the top complaints when it comes to protein bars, and Misfits remedies this with nutritious plant-based protein bars that are comparable to candy bars—loaded with chewy layers, crunchy bits, and gooey centers.

Top-selling varieties from the brand include Caramel Fudge, Peanut Butter Fudge and Cookie Dough, each with the sweet taste and a softer texture of a candy bar. Cookie Butter, for example, is a rich caramelized biscuit flavor with a touch of cinnamon, spice and cocoa, plus cocoa crispies.

In terms of macros, Misfits' plant-based protein bars boast 15 grams of protein and less than a gram of sugar, and protein-wise, the primary ingredient, vegan proteins, come from a combination of pea and soya protein.
