AWAKE Chocolate earns largely positive reviews for delivering a noticeable, jitter-free energy boost in a tasty, portable chocolate—many report feeling alert within minutes, while heavy coffee drinkers sometimes feel little effect. Reviews praise flavors like caramel, peanut butter, mint dark, and vegan dark bites, but note occasional overly sweet or chalky taste, inconsistent caffeine impact, and textural issues such as firm dark bars.

  • I've tried a caramel bar and the peanut butter bites from this brand. I really liked this chocolate, but I wish it tasted just a bit better for what it was. I prefer the taste of the caramel over the peanut butter flavor. Their shipping prices are ridiculous though. It's cheaper to ship each bar individually with free shipping than buy a multipack with a shipping charge. The shipping was extremely fast for me at the very least.

  • I think the caffeine content in these bars is too much for children but perfect for a mom-on-the-go. I shared my bar with my children and instantly could feel the caffeine (I had already consumed coffee earlier that day and am sensitive to more than 2 cups a day). I think Awake makes great chocolate that isn't too sweet with just the right amount of caffeine for most people.

  • It was a Monday afternoon and my workday was dragging. My energy was depleting and my work effort was taking a hit. I decided to take a mental break. I came across AWAKE. AWAKE is a chocolate bar that is loaded with energy. This was my first time trying this chocolate bar and it did not disappoint. I tried the AWAKE peanut butter dark chocolate bar and I was very impressed. For someone who doesn't consume a lot of caffeine, this little bar gave me the energy that was needed. 1 bite, as they call it, contains caffeine equivalent to a 1/2 cup of coffee. I must say that not only was this chocolate bar very tasty, it packed enough energy needed to finish the job. If you are in need of a pick me up in what ever situation that you are in, I would highly recommend this product. Be aware that this bar contains enough caffeine so avoid consuming multiple to prevent an unforeseen health issues. Please keep away from children, pregnant or nursing woman as well as those who are sensitive to caffeine. Cheers and Enjoy

  • I love it when caramel is a bit runny and leaks out. These delivered on that! They tasted great and the caffeine was just a bonus. They were almost too good where I ate too much, (maybe).

  • Most caffeine does nothing for me, but AWAKE Caffeinated Chocolate actually works. I’ll eat two yummy Vegan Dark Chocolate Bites and they will keep me awake when I’m running out of energy. I appreciate they’re so small and I can take them anywhere. I hope they come out with more vegan flavors.

  • What’s not to love, delicious chocolate that gives you an energy kick when you need it! Great for people who only drink coffee for the caffeine but don’t actually like the taste, because who doesn’t like chocolate?!

  • Tasty but honestly don't think I felt a massive difference and I'm usually very sensitive to caffeine. On the other hand, could be because I only resorted to buying these at the college coffee shop if I was already pretty sleep deprived.

  • Awake Chocolate is a great treat! The combination of rich, smooth chocolate and a nice caffeine boost is perfect for when you need a little pick-me-up. The flavors are delicious, and the texture is spot on. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that I wish the caffeine kick was a bit stronger. Overall, though, it's a tasty and unique snack that I’d definitely recommend!

  • I first found AWAKE when I was in college - one of the coffee/snack stands at my school had them. I have pretty bad acid reflux, so even though I love drinking coffee, it's not always the best option when I need an energy boost. AWAKE chocolates have been a great alternative for when I want the effects of a coffee (not a crazy energy drink), but don't want to hurt my stomach - and they taste REALLY good! So glad these lil things exist!

  • Just bought the dark chocolate bites via the thingtesting testing program and they are delicious. They taste like normal dark chocolate and I feel like I had an afternoon pick me up. The reimbursement process for trying these was really easy too, so it felt like win win win! I’ll definitely buy again.

  • AWAKE Chocolate really gives you a buzz! It’s the perfect balance of rich chocolate and an energy boost, with just the right amount of caffeine to keep you alert without the jitters. Great for a quick pick-me-up during the day. - don't eat too many.

  • Tried the milk chocolate, and it's truly a delicious, milky chocolate in a convenient single serving. Love the idea of a 2-in-1 chocolate and caffeine treat for my afternoon slump. Didn't have any noticeable "pick me up" but look forward to continue testing (and, at the very least, treating myself to a delicious afternoon chocolate).

  • I have tried this chocolate.. the chocolate itself tastes great but I didn't notice a huge energy boost. I am an avid coffee drinker though, so I might just be immune to the effects by now.

  • I discovered these in college and OMG I was obsessed, the caffeine in them really does work and they are delicious!

  • I absolutely LOVE these! I was first introduced to them at a Hackathon in college where this was the snack everyone was going for and the Hackathon crew had to actively remind us "these are caffeinated like a cup of coffee so if I see any of y'all eat too many I will confiscate them" LOL but they are just super delicious and did actually help keep me awake to the point where I have repurchased them myself. Definitely recommend!

  • I got a couple of these from the Fresh Market grocery store. They had them available individually so I tried two, each for a little less than a dollar. They tasted like normal chocolate and were pretty good. I'm really not sure if I felt any difference from the extra caffeine, but I didn't feel shaky like I usually do when I have caffeine. I would say they were a bit pricey for their size.

  • Overall I don't think I would buy these chocolates at the steep price for only 6 pieces. They dark chocolate was really firm too and actually kind of hard to bite. The taste is fine, which is why I didn't rate it worse. But there are plenty of other chocolates out there that could give you a little energy boost without needing to even be marketed a such.

  • I loved these so much. As someone who doesn't drink coffee, they don't have an overwhelming coffee taste. They are the perfect pick-me-up!

  • I wasn't sure if I needed caffeinated chocolate in my life, but these little chocolate pieces are actually a great afternoon pick me up. The dark chocolate ones are vegan and have a nice flavor with that dark bitter flavor you want.
