Gooey, sweet marshmallow crisp treats are a childhood favorite and with added protein, think! Crispy Squares are even more enticing as a satisfying, better-for-you indulgence. The gooey, classic and crisp treat reimagined for a new generation of conscious snackers shares 15 grams of protein in a portable format with just three to four grams of sugar per serving. These gluten-free snacks are made with just a handful of simple ingredients and they're joining think!'s protein bar lineup in craveable varieties like original Marshmallow Crunch, Chocolate Crunch and salty-sweet Toffee Pretzel Crunch.
The new think! Crispy Squares tick off a lot of boxes for grown-up snackers—they are high in protein, reminiscent of a nostalgic snack, minimally processed, and sweet enough to satisfy without overloading on sugar.
