Caffeinated Dark Chocolate Bars - Jesse's WakeUP! 350mg (3 Espressos) 6Pk

First of all, these are just straight up delicious treats. I would very happily eat them even if they had no caffeine at all. They are a bit sweeter than the usual chocolate (or other) candy or bar type items that I eat, but for instance, when I make cookies for myself I generally cut the sweetener down by 1/3-1/4 of what most recipes call for. I don't think they're much sweeter than, say, a Luna bar (which is actually the closest comparison to these that I can think of) or a Kind bar. They are wonderfully crispy, just the right amount of chewy, and the chocolate flavor is very well balanced to the other flavors, the chocolate really comes through very well. And even better, the caffeine content is great. I have a high tolerance for caffeine, it really takes a lot to affect me. A Mountain Dew gives me more of a sugar rush than a caffeine boost (resulting in a crash, of course). I don't bother with energy drinks that have less than 240 mg caffeine, and I really prefer 300. But, energy drinks have their own issues- I am very averse to the taste of Sucralose and it is very difficult to find energy drinks that don't contain any. Especially the ones that are higher in caffeine content, which tend to be sweetened exclusively with Sucralose and other artificial sweeteners that I just can't stomach. They also have the issue of portability, etc. I also tried some gummies with a high caffeine content, which were very tasty and they were effective, but not as much as these bars. I would put the gummies on the same level as energy drinks or coffee, effectiveness wise. So, these bars are ideal for me. They have very low calories, and for whatever metabolic/digestive reasons, I feel the effect of these bars much more rapidly than the effect from energy drinks, coffee, caffeine pills, etc. with the same amount of caffeine. When I got my first box of these to try them out, I ate a bar and ended up deep cleaning my whole house and then planting some seeds that I had been putting off because it involved getting the pots ready, lugging around bags of soil, etc. Then I went for a considerably longer, brisker walk than I thought I was even capable of (I have health issues as well, which is part of the reason that I need caffeine just to have enough energy to function at all), groomed my dogs, and did laundry. Even an energy drink with 300 mg of caffeine, or a large mocha coffee with 4 extra shots of espresso (in addition to the 2 that are standard from the coffee shop that I patronize), doesn't affect me that strongly, regardless of how quickly I drink it. Also, the seller is great. Shipping is prompt, packing is secure, and even in June there was no melting or other damage to the product. In short- great taste, wonderfully effective, and the seller is great. I really can't recommend these highly enough. When I bought my first box of them to try out, I had one the first day. I then bought two more boxes of them, because I definitely enjoy them and will be having them regularly, and I wanted to be sure to have some on hand in case the price rose significantly or they sold out.

If you are someone who likes products that give you a caffeine energy boost during the day and find a lot of those products are just too much make you jittery, and coffee starts burn holes in your stomach you might want to give this energy snack a try. It boasts the same amount of caffeine as 1.5 cups of espresso, which is pretty good. And I'd say it's accurate. I sometimes use another caffeine snack that's pure chocolate. It's tastey bc, duh, it's chocolate! But I'd have to eat 3 of them to get the same boost and that means 3 times the calories. WakeUP snacks has more bang for your buck and you can truly feel it energizing you. It's also big enough to delay a hunger attack for quite awhile. I like the chocolate flavor but they have 3 more flavors that I have not tried. Each one is individually wrapped so you can stash a couple in your bag or pocket for an afternoon pick-me-up and it really does perk you up. I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I wish it was even more chocolatey. then it would be perfect. But almost perfect is good enough for me. ;)

Let me just say, these bars pack a big punch on days where my energy is low and I need a boost. Half a bar will do the trick. They are so tasty it's hard not to eat the whole bar at once. (They are also vegan and gluten free) They are not only delicious (I was skeptical with this being an espresso flavor bar) but they are great for on-the-go! I keep one in my bag on the regular. Especially for days when the line at your favorite coffee shop is so long you have to pass. Or, for when you leave your coffee at home on the counter. These bars have got you covered! They are actually better than most of those coffee places. I'm a very picky person and I don't like my coffee too strong. I don't like it weak either. I feel like this brand Jesse's Wake Up really nailed it on the flavor. I would imagine the majority of coffee/espresso drinkers will enjoy these bars. I am so glad I discovered this brand. I highly recommend! Christmas is also coming and these would make great sticking stuffers or gifts. I plan on giving them as little gifts to my espresso/,coffee loving friends. The last thing I will share in this review, is this product didn't cause me to feel jittery or anxious. I only eat 1/2 bar at a time/per day and it's perfect. What I have experienced is a nice, subtle, increase in my energy.

These bars are mostly tasty and offer a nice boost during the day as a snack. There is a slight aftertaste that I can't put my finger on, but it's not so strong that I wouldn't continue eating them. I do have a high tolerance for caffeine, but with this product, I can feel the effect. It's not too strong, but definitely noticeable.

My afternoon can of soda routine was getting old, and I also think it is important to mix things up once in a while. I would consider myself an active person, and I like to workout in the afternoons almost everyday. Probably from a combination of getting older and busy work life I have found that I don't quite have the energy to maximize my workouts that I used to. I found these Wake Up! Protein Bites on Amazon and decided to give it a try. In regards to the energy boost that I was looking for, these were perfect! If I eat one 30 minutes to an hour before my workout I feel energized and ready to go. The taste is also great, but I may be biased since I do love chocolate. One of the unexpected things that I really liked was the size and form factor. I can easily fit this in my sling bag and take it on the go. Much easier than trying to carry around a can of soda or find a vending machine when you need one. They are a little pricey so I won't be using them daily, just as a way to mix things up and to have a portable energy boost. I do think that they are worth the price as it is a very good product in my opinion. As of the time of this review I have already ordered a second box and will likely be getting more in the future.

These are tasty and a definitely give you a boost- but looks are deceiving! Based on the pics they look like they are granola bar size, but in reality- they are literally a single bite. Go by the name, Wake Up BITES. Not by the images the company posts.

I am a return customer of Jesse’s Wake up, and here to share how amazing they are. I cannot start my morning without them. It’s the bite of delicious Goodness I look forward to every morning that gives me that burst of energy to kickstart my day. Absolutely no jitters no headaches no side effects. You can choose if you want to just have half of a full-size bar or you can choose to go for the mini size. Both are absolutely fantastic options. I 100% recommend the chocolate and caramel options. Those are my absolute two favorites!!!! Loveeeee this beyond words

Great and powerful and quite bowel inspiring!!

I eat half of the bar instead of having coffee before getting into the car, before my long commute to work (over 1.5hrs). It works wonders as there's no need for a toilet break which is nearly unavoidable after drinking coffee. 5 stars!

When I need a quick energy boost throughout the day, Energy WAKE UP is my go-to snack. It's vegan, gluten free and made with natural, non-GMO ingredients. Plus, it contains 125mg of caffeine which is the equivalent of 1.5 espressos! I love that it's low in sugar and only 55 calories per bite - such a delicious and healthy way to get an energy boost!

At 55 kcal each and 'only' 4g of sugar I was pleased that these snack bites weren't just trying to sneak a blood sugar spike through the backdoor under the guise of alertness - they really do seem to pack a genuine caffeine punch which is great to see. The texture is kind of similar the the Lion bar that I used to have in my youth - not identical but very similar with its blend of sweetness, crunch rice (instead of wafer) and the chocolate coating. Super convenient.

I've been eating those snacks on my way to the gym when I do not feel like drinking a pre-workout. The caffeine gives a nice kick without all the other usual pre-workout ingredients. I like the flavour too.
