I am probably not a big chocolate particular person, however even I can admit it is troublesome for chocolate to be unhealthy. To that finish, MrBeast — the extremely widespread YouTuber — is channeling his interior Willy Wonka to launch a line of tasty, if not world-changing, treats: chocolate bars.

Actual title Jimmy Donaldson, MrBeast has 89 million subscribers on YouTube, the place he typically launches stunts and large giveaways. He is the man who created a real-life Squid Recreation.

Anyway, Donaldson’s newest enterprise is a meals firm referred to as Feastables, touted in a press launch as “a better-for-you snacking model rooted in gamified experiences.” Mainly, the corporate plans to carry sweepstakes for $1 million in giveaways, from Teslas to Beats headphones to electrical bikes.

“Ten fortunate Grand Prize winners will journey to compete in a MrBeast YouTube video for the possibility to win MrBeast’s Chocolate Manufacturing facility,” the press launch reads. “Sure, this actually exists.”

OK, so all of the spectacle apart, how’s the precise product? Fairly good! The chocolate bars are marketed as a less complicated different to the mass-produced stuff. They’ve simply 4 substances, are gluten free, and are available three flavors: authentic chocolate, almond chocolate, and quinoa crunch chocolate.

I used to be despatched a complete mess of chocolate bars, greater than I am going to ever eat. However I gave every taste a number of bites out of dedication to my job.

Once more, I am not an enormous chocolate particular person, however of the three flavors, I feel the quinoa crunch was by far the most effective.

My spouse, an even bigger chocolate fan than me, agreed the quinoa was greatest, however she additionally loved all three flavors.

The Feastables bars are undoubtedly darker, richer, and snappier — it tastes fancier, extra luxurious — however does not have that entire melt-in-you-mouth addictiveness of its Hershey competitor.
