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.

  • These chocolates are so good especially the caramel flavored one. I appreciate that they don’t have too much caffeine in them, but I wish they would make some that had none because I just wanna eat them as a snack sometimes.

  • Actually kinda addicting! I've only had the caramel one, but it's so good, I'd be willing to bet the rest of them are just as amazing.

  • My workplace sells Awake chocolate bars & on a particularly low energy day, I tried the milk chocolate caramel bar. It tasted great and perked me up for the rest of my shift. I've since re-purchased and have recommended them to co-workers & friends looking for a little pick-me-up throughout their day.

  • Love these chocolates! They're delicious even without the caffeine benefits, and a great alternative to downing a cup of coffee. The caramel flavor is my favorite.

  • I actually discovered AWAKE at work - our office kitchens were stocked! I didn't realize that they were caffeinated when I first tried them, but I definitely noticed afterwards. It's a great alternative when trying to cut down on coffee. My favorite is the mint dark chocolate! If you're buying these in stores, go to their website first - if you buy 2 bags in store, they'll pay you back for the cost of one bag. Killer deal! I just wish they were more readily available - I have to go to a specialty grocery store to pick these up.

  • I think the chocolate tastes fine, but I didn't really feel the caffeine. This may be a me thing though since I have a high caffeine tolerance. I would try this again though since I don't always want to drink coffee.

  • Tasty, and perfect for when you need a little boost, like when you hit that 2/3pm after lunch slump at work.

  • Running low on battery by 3 pm is the worst, especially when a cup of coffee doesn't do the trick and leaves you with regrets instead of a caffeine boost. What sets Awake apart is the enjoyable taste without any regret, which is why I'm giving it a four-star rating. I plan to continue using it and am open to adjusting my rating to five stars if my experience improves further.

  • I’m a big coffee drinker but used to have these when I didn’t have time for coffee. I don’t think they work as well but they taste good

  • Really good tasting. I liked the gooey caramel that not only tasted excellent but also provided a mid day energizing boost.

  • I like dark chocolate since it's dairy-free and no coconut oil and tastes smooth & not bitter at all. It's a nice subtle lift if energy. Helps me focus a little more during work on days I need it. I gave it to a friend, but he said he couldn't nap that afternoon day, Lol. Kept him awake. Note- they will discolor & taste old if you let them melt by accidentally leaving them in your purse in the car. Oops.

  • these taste great - i’ve gotten them for free from my office kitchen! i’ve never felt an energy boost from them like i would from coffee, but i’ve also never gotten the caffeine-induced nausea i sometimes get from coffee either.

  • I love these! I am surprised that there are not more caffeinated chocolate options, great for college students who also love sweet treats! :)

  • Great way to get caffeine in without having to drink a coffee or energy drink

    If you like me strugge to drink a lot of liquids this is perfect to try and get a boost of energy

  • I was first introduced to this brand during an all-day staff meeting. My coworkers and I had been stuck in a room for most of the day, and our energy was quickly dissipating. While searching for snacks in our local convenience store, we came across the brand Awake that toted its amazing mission–the ability to wake us up with just chocolate. It definitely worked! Our student center convenience store only had the original chocolate flavor, and while it was a bit bitter, it did its job and had us perked up within 10 minutes of consuming the bar. No weird crash and anxiety jitters from the caffeine either!

  • I think these are great! You get a delicious chocolate treat with a caffeine boost. Perfect for when you're on the go and need a little pick me up. I'm not sure if they do make one already, but would love a dairy-free option.

  • Super tasty, liked that it was compact enough to eat quickly. I'd rather drink coffee myself, but this is a nice option if you need a quick caffeine boost. Decent quality chocolate.
