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 liked two out of three flavors, but none stood out. The vanilla and peanut butter were both fine; I did not like the chocolate, didn't even finish the bar. The bars are very date-and-coconutty in flavor, and I didn't care for the texture: soft with a kind of flaky coconut texture mixed into it. I will finish the bars but I will not order them again. Cute packaging.

Pretty tasty and not super sweet. Had more of a coconut texture and flavor with a hint of chocolate and PB. The vanilla one tasted more like just coconut. Good choice if you are looking for something gluten and dairy free.

They were all tasty! I didn’t realize they were filled with so much fiber. I would buy again!

These bars are just ok. I wasn’t crazy about the texture, they were a little too soft for me. The flavors were just ok as well. It also took very long to ship. I’m pretty sure the order got lost, I had to contact customer service twice. Don’t think I will be purchasing again.

Received the 6 pack Thingdrop box, and have enjoyed all 3 flavors included thus far. The coconut flavor is definitely strong, but enjoyable (if you like coconut.) The chocolate, peanut butter and vanilla flavors are indeed a little secondary - but present. The texture is very appealing, soft and chewy without getting stuck in your mouth as you chew. My biggest concern is that even with 6g of protein it doesn't feel like it helps take the edge off of hunger, or satisfy my appetite beyond any other snack. Overall, very satisfied with the product and was pleasantly surprised by the great texture.

My shipment was delayed (ordered on 12/22, received on 1/8), and the Paradise Squared team didn't reach out until today to mention anything about the increased shipping time. Think it would have been a better experience if they had said something sooner -- totally understand delayed shipping, especially for a small business around the holidays, but communication is always helpful. FWIW, their Customer Service apologized today. As for the snacks themselves: These are definitely heavy on the coconut flavor (which I personally enjoy). The texture reminds me of a more finely chopped Mounds bar filling (that is to say again - coconut), and the ingredients are great. For me personally, they're a bit high in carbs for an every day snack, but a nice occasional treat. I might repurchase occasionally to switch things up.

Very tasty snack - you have to like coconut though! I purchased it on sale - so the sale price is what pulled me in to try it and I might purchase in the future at regular price. It’s an easy snack to toss in my purse. My only displeasure is that it took over two weeks for the product to arrive and by that time I was over the excitement of the purchase.

Had high hopes for this product. Love the concept and the texture is reminiscent of cookie dough almost but disappointed in ingredients and taste. It doesn't taste natural

These bars were pretty tasty, a quality compounded by the natural non-gmo ingredients making them feel like a healthier treat. I am not as big of a fan of coconut as some, and all three flavors were very similar in that the predominant flavor was the coconut. If you like coconut, these are for you!
The bars are really delicious if you enjoy the taste of coconut. I consulted a friend who is a nutritionist, and he confirmed that the ingredients are well balanced in terms of fat, sugar, carbs, and fiber, making it a healthy and smart choice. I find the bar to be equally tasty as Go Macro bars, but with a high fiber content, comparable to the protein content in Go Macro bars. Therefore, depending on your dietary needs and goals, these bars can be a great high-fiber snack.

I love the product colors. It didn't taste bad just very very chewy and for one bar 13g of fat is just not meant for me. The package did arrive a bit late, but I understand with mail these days.
