Vegan candy bars – Go Max Go bars rival flavors of well-known national brands

[Guest guest]

Go Max Go vegan candy bars are the best-tasting I've tried and rival the flavors

of long-time nationwide favorites Snickers, 3 Muskateers, Milky Way and Almond

Joy. Go Max Go brand vegan candy bars are dairy- and egg-free with no trans fat,

no hydrogenated oils and no cholesterol. They have nuts, nougat and caramel, are

covered in a rice-milk chocolatey coating, and are wonderfully decadent when you

crave a sweet treat.

 

Go Max Go bars are approximately $2.49 each, whereas most regular candy bars are

usually 69 to 78 cents each, but in this case, you get what you pay for. The

vegan bars include no artificial ingredients, and are sweetened with beet sugar,

evaporated cane juice and corn syrup.

 

Popular regular candy bars – Snickers, Milky Way, 3 Muskateers and Almond Joy –

all contain milk, lactose, milk fat, butter, egg white, hydrogenated oil and

artificial flavor. They range between 220 to 270 calories, 8 to 13 grams of fat,

26 to 46 grams of carbohydrates and 28 to 40 grams of sugar. Snickers is the

best-selling candy bar of all time with annual global sales of $2 billion.

 

Go Max Go brand vegan candy bars are available in four flavors with following

nutrition information. From a nutritional fact standpoint, the vegan bars may

not be any " healthier " than regular bars, but you need to consider the source

ingredients that make up the amount of fat, calories and carbs. And they have no

animal ingredients.
