Harken Sweets earns positive reviews as a satisfying, plant‑based candy bar alternative that convincingly mimics classics (The Nutty One likened to a less‑sweet Snickers; The Gooey One to a vegan Milky Way), with creamy oat chocolate, date caramel, and high‑quality ingredients. Reviews also note drawbacks: occasional dense or overly nutty texture, uneven crunch or minimal nuts/pretzel, sweetness that reads “alternative” for some, and limited flavor variety mentioned by fans wanting more options.

I love these. Satisfying without the sugar crash you get from candy bars filled with refined sugar. These are sweetened with dates and the peanut to nougat ratio is great. I like this in a belt bag so I can eat one if I’m on the go and need energy.

I really like Harken Sweets and their mission. I realized they made their products about half the size from when I first started buying them. The bag costs about $10 and you get 5 candies so you are paying $2 per small candy. They’re good but not $2 per piece of candy good.

I was able to try this product for free through a rebate website. I absolutely loved them! I tried a few different flavors and liked each one. They taste like normal chocolate bars but a much healthier alternative.

I was so lucky to be able to try these for free otherwise I would've gone my whole life not knowing how delicious these are. Their ingredient list is so perfect too; it's insane that these have no added sugar, yet taste the way they do. I would have never guessed these were plant based if I hadn't read the packaging. The snack-sized calories per bar completely made sense and I would feel no guilt eating these. My only complaint with these is they're expensive as hell, which makes me shed a tear because I will only be able to purchase them once a blue moon. Overall, if you're craving a healthier sweet treat, these are worth it.

Pretty good for a low calorific candy bar. Very thin bar. Not my cup of tea. There is barely any nuts in there. It is more like a nougat and caramel bar. I didn't taste any bitter diet aftertaste. It has a slightly sweet taste.

The nutty chocolate was really good! I didn't expect it to be so creamy. I thought it would be crunchy but it was actually really smooth. I will be getting this again in the future especially since it's a healthier option

Ohhhhh so good. I have tried the crunchy one and the nutty one. Love them both. I find myself craving the crunchy one more.

I really liked the concepts behind Harken Sweets and really enjoyed their products! I loved that they are made using great, healthy ingredients; I'm also impressed by all the flavors options they have.

No because this is literally yummy!! I like the amount of crunch but also sweet aspect you get in every bite. The ingredient care in another thing I can appreciate it, being no sugar and rich in fiber. It’s like your cheating the snack system,

I will give these four stars only because the price is too high for what they are. I really loved the coconut ones and thought they were really good and something I would buy again if the price was lower. I love that they are sweetened with dates.

Overall, not bad. I was surprised I enjoyed this so much...I'm not much for sweets (salty and savory gal here), but the crunchy one was pretty darn delicious. :P I think I could be persuaded to try the nutty one and possibly even the gooey one!
Harken Sweets are a handmade take on candy bars. I tried the crunchy one and found it to be a much better quality candy bar than mainstream ones such as Crunch bars. The handmade aspect makes these treats worth the extra price.
Harken Sweets offers a delicious, plant-based candy bar that's both satisfying and healthier than traditional options. The combination of dates, nuts, and chocolate provides a rich flavor profile. However, the texture can be a bit dense for some, and the sweetness level might be slightly high for those sensitive to sugar. Overall, it's a great alternative for those seeking a guilt-free indulgence.
This was good and I definitely liked it. However the nutritional content coupled with the price isn’t worth it to me. Wish they were a little healthier

I tried a couple of their chocolate candies. I will start off by saying they are definitely not cheap . They taste pretty good, but you can definitely tell they’re “healthy”, which is ultimately a great thing. They’re great as a treat, but I don’t know that I would be buying them all the time given their price and how small the bag of chocolates is.
tried these for the first time recently. the price point is super high! but i got 4 bags for free through couponing with social nature and aisle so it's kind of worth. they are yummy and decently healthy tho so

Pretty enjoyable. The date caramel was delicious, but there wasn't enough filling to make it worth it's price in my opinion.
I didn't taste any crunch in the bar. The date caramel taste delicious. I didn't really notice there's pretzel bites in there. I did taste the oat pieces though. The bar thickness is thinner compared to the snickers and milky way. The price point for the size of the bar is tad high.
As someone with a sweet tooth, I am thrilled to have found a brand of chocolate that has no added sugar, yet tastes just as delicious, if not better, than brands with a ton of added sugar. I have enjoyed all of the flavor of varieties.
The Harken Sweets candy bars are a different breed of candy. I received “the nutty one” from a friend & wanted to love it but unfortunately it fell short. Shockingly it was overly nutty and barely any other flavor came through.
