Review - Labrada Cinnamon Bun Cookie Roll

Brand:  Labrada

Flavor:  Cinnamon Bun Cookie Roll

Where to get it: here @ Labrada.com

                                 Upon closer inspection, I realized that the wrapper recommended popping this bar into the microwave for 10 seconds. Magically, I was at home when I was intending to try this, so the stars aligned for me and Mr. Labrada's Cinnamon Buns. I really feel that the warmth made this bar unique and delicious. No aftertaste at all, and really great cinnamon bun flavor. ACTUAL cinnamon bun flavor. With frosting. I really, really, REALLY liked this bar. The calories are high, so if you’re counting calories, eat it in thirds, or just eat the whole thing once in a while for a really tasty treat.

If you’ve read any number of my blog posts on these types of bars, I tend to have a really hard time endorsing them. For those keeping track, this is the SECOND Labrada product that actually made me happy. I will be seeking more of them out, because they are tasty treats in a sea of yucky protein garbage bombs.

Review: Enjoy Life Cinnamon Bun Bar

Brand:  Enjoy Life

Flavor:  Cinnamon Bun Bar

Where to get it: here @ Abe's Market

                Cinnamon? Yes! Cinnamon bun? Not so much. Enjoy Life does such a good job marketing their products that I was pretty much convinced that I would think eating one of these soft-baked bars would be 90% as good as eating an actual cinnamon roll. I think I set my expectations a little too high, so let’s just disregard all that madness and talk like rational snackers. The bars are soft, chewy, and very cinnamon-y. If you have Celiac disease I would think that these bars are probably pretty exceptional given some of the other snack choices out there for you. I found myself wanting them to be oat-y, which of course they are not, and I can eat all the gluten I want. If you like cinnamon and you like that quinoa/rice texture common to these bars, these are certainly for you.
