Paradise Squared reviews assert the brand works as a tasty, clean-ingredient snack: reviewers praise moist, chewy bars with high-quality, mostly gluten- and dairy-free ingredients but warn the coconut-forward flavor and similar-tasting varieties limit appeal. Strengths include pleasant texture and natural ingredient list; weaknesses include overpowering coconut, limited flavor differentiation, and occasional shipping problems noted by buyers.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I received a box of six Paradise Squared bars (two each of three flavors: chocolate coconut, peanut butter coconut, and vanilla coconut). Each bar was a good size for a snack or dessert, without being overly sweet. They were moist and flavorful and the coconut taste was not overwhelming. I would definitely buy these again. So far the vanilla coconut is my favorite of the flavors.

If you like coconut flavor and texture, then these are really good. The flavors were all very apparent to me, but I struggle with the coconut texture. If you can handle that, then these are for you. If not, ig is better to avoid.

Paradise Squared tastes great and has great ingredients. My husband loved them, too! The bars will be on rotation in our house.

Easy to eat and was the right amount of portion.

I really enjoyed the coconutty taste and chewiness of these. Not huge flavor differentiation between the different bars, but all were delicious. For snack bars I personally prefer a higher protein content, but I paired these with a protein shake and it made a great midday treat.

They're really good! The chocolate reminds me of the macaroons you eat during Passover lol, but not in a bad way. Maybe it's because of the bar shape/packaging, but the ultimate sell for these would be if there were added vitamins/nutrients in them. Like a treat with benefits.

The brownie bars are really good! They make a great little in the go treat (as long as you like coconut). It curbed my sweet tooth and hit the spot. The peanut blondie on the other hand was gross and I spit it out. I think if you’re a coconut diehard you could enjoy it. Think they make a great check out counter purchase!

Chef's kiss to the Paradise Squared flavors and texture! It is absolutely a winning combination - literally so good!! The low sugar, gf, plant-based, and dairy free nature of the bars make this a really tasty treat for all. BUT...as an individual that experiences gastrointestinal distress far more often than I would like to admit (hello all the IBS girlies), the chicory root fiber in these bars is, unfortunately, not our friends. I don't know the quantity that is added to each bar but it most definitely had an effect.. I'm on a mission (im)possible kitchen experiment to see if I can recreate this without the chicory root fiber. If you can handle chicory root fiber, this bar is a clear winner in terms of clean, healthy ingredients and its phenomenal taste and texture!

I received the variety pack of vanilla, chocolate, and peanut butter as a thingdrop offer. First off, the shipping was super slow. It took 3 or 4 weeks after placing my order to receive the box. I didn't receive any communication whatsoever from the company during this time. Honestly, I totally forgot about it until I received the email notifying it had shipped. The flavor is good. They are moist, not overly sweet, and not too heavy. The consistency is very coconut, which obviously it would be, but the coconut taste isn't overpowering to me. If you like coconut, you'll like these. The size of these are decent for a protein bar. Not too big, not too small. The ingredients are high-quality, which I appreciate as a better snack. I don't think they would have a super long shelf-life, however. Even though the taste was good, I can't say I'll buy these again. They weren't so unique to rationalize the price. For a 6-pack, they cost $18 + tax. Sure, there's no shipping cost (at least right now), but the cost is rather high to me. I can get a 12 pack of a similar product with quality ingredients for just a bit more. I was happy to try them, and they may be fantastic and reasonably-priced for some, but I just can't see myself buying these again.

Great packaging and fun unboxing; however, they are definitely an acquired taste. Very date heavy so if you are into that, than these would be great for you, but if your not I would skip.

Flavors were nice - predominantly coconut with a lighter impact of the other flavors. More of an adult oriented snack, not too sweet at all. Quite dense but not fudgy like a normal brownie, still moist.

These were okay. They had a lot of coconut taste, which I liked, but the other flavors weren’t too strong and I wasn’t reminded of a blondie or brownie. They also had a slight plastic-y taste to me. They were a nice snack since I had them on hand, but I’m unsure whether or not I would buy them again.

These are really yummy and I love the variety of flavors in the box. I love that they don't have a ton of added sugar, but I do wish that they had less sugar and more protein. They are very nicely packaged, and it's a fun experience opening the box~

I will say that the name was not my favorite but after taking a bite, I get it. it is basically just coconut flavor and texture, So it is very reminiscent of paradise. This bar has a very short shelf life, which would normally be fine if I loved coconut, but I am not sure Ill get through all 6 in the month. I sampled the 3 flavors that came with the sample box and they all basically tasted the same to me--coconut. The sugar is low, which is also nice, but to be honest, it's nothing I would crave or grab. I would enjoy these more if the bar was smaller and maybe less coconut oil (im not a chef, so I can't say too much on how to make a good bar with these ingredients, but thats what would make me like them more).

Never received this order placed on 12/22. Emails have gone unanswered. Will be disputing the charge too bad I was looking forward to trying these. It looked good.

These are super yummy and great for traveling with little ones. I was able to pass these off as “brownies” to my little ones.

Great ingredient list, super convenient to keep in a bag when out and about. They taste okay, certainly better than a lot of snack/energy bars on the market.

I received a box of these for a discounted price care of ThingTesting. I really was not fond of the flavor. I was hopeful that the coconut flavor would meld well with the other flavors. But no, I did not like it.

I got the sampler pack via the Thingdrop which included three flavors. Personally I only got to try the brownie bar flavor because before I knew it, my partner had eaten all of the other bars! Based on that I think he really enjoyed these bars, saying that the blondie bar was his favorite of the three flavors. The bars taste very strongly of coconut, so if you don't like coconut these probably aren't for you. Texture wise, they are decently soft and hold together well. Wish I'd gotten to try them all, but glad they were a hit!
