\"Sunny<\/a>
\nby Shannon Borgoyn, VRG volunteer<\/p>\n

I love chocolate, so I was excited to review Amy’s brand chocolate bars: Amy’s Dreamy and Amy’s Sunny.<\/p>\n

According to its wrapper, Amy’s Dreamy candy bar is a filling of \u201cchocolate creamy nougat covered with dark chocolate.\u201d Upon biting into it, I experienced a pleasantly sweet dark chocolate shell. Following the dark chocolate shell, the chocolate creamy nougat met my tongue, it was chocolatey and creamy, but I also noted it had a slightly sticky consistency (vaguely similar to caramel). The nougat was slightly sweeter than the dark chocolate outer shell and was scrumptious. One Amy’s Dreamy candy bar is 150 calories; a serving is one bar.<\/p>\n

Amy’s Sunny candy bar is labeled as \u201ccoconut & roasted almonds covered in dark chocolate.\u201d When I bit into the Sunny bar, I closed my eyes and savored the dark chocolate outer shell. After the dark chocolate said goodbye, the coconut greeted me: \u201cHi, hello,\u201d it said, \u201cI’m here. My name is Coconut and I’ll be your flavor today.\u201d Compared to the Dreamy bar, the Sunny bar’s coconut filling was subtly sweet; roasted almond bits were interspersed throughout the coconut. One Amy’s Sunny candy bar is 170 calories; a serving is one bar. <\/p>\n

Amy’s candy bars were delicious and sweet. They are so reminiscent of mainstream candy that I felt like I was eating my favorite candies. Most notably, Amy’s labels these candy bars as \u201cvegan\u201d: there is no dairy or eggs listed in the ingredients for both bars. If you are looking for a sweet alternative to your favorite candies, I strongly suggest Amy’s Sunny and Dreamy candy bars.<\/p>\n
