Fruit Bars Fruity & Sour

I don't know who these are aimed at: teenagers? Adults? Children?My small children, although they liked the actual bars, cared very little for the packaging. An adult, such as myself, also found the bars tasty, but would I be more likely to buy these with brightly coloured zombie-themed packaging? No, I doubt it.So perhaps aimed at the teenage market, but then how many teenagers are going to want these in the first place, or be persuaded to eat them for the packaging?I don't understand the packaging, but to me it's not really necessary to have a "theme" - the bars are very tasty, and each flavour stands out enough that I would not be put off buying more in the future.Each bar, when unwrapped, is a rectangular slab of stickiness. They contain only fruit, which is great for anyone looking for healthy snacks.The 24-pack here is currently very good value for money, at just over 60p per bar.

These bars are a tasty treat yet I liked the ingredients, crunchiness and a bit chewy, quite filling. Sweetness is from dried fruits, so not too sweet as most of the other snacks.The size of the bars is ideal for that healthy snack any time of day. Individually wrapped for taking out and about, and great for the home snack box for my kids.They are reasonably priced, I would recommend these.

These fruit bars are incredibly good. They have a different texture to what I was expecting, they're softer and less leathery. According to their ingredients it's just fruit so other than natural sugar I imagine they're fairly healthy. They are genuinely very tasty, the sour ones are sour but not too sour and the ones that aren't are equally nice. I enjoyed all four flavours so in my opinion they are good value for money. They are presented well and have branding that my kids especially loved.

First impressions of these were great, they come in a brightly designed box which instantly got my 7 year olds attention. The branding being zombies seemed to appeal to her as well as my husband who thought it looked pretty cool. As a mum I was just pleased to see a fruit product like this branding that wasn’t aimed at young kids for once.Taste wise they are great, my daughter loves the mango one and also the raspberry, and we like the sour cherry and sour strawberry ones. I was shocked that they only had fruit in as they were so sour, I guess from the lemon. I’m not sure how healthy they are given they are quite high in sugar but I assume as it comes from fruit it may not be so bad. They’ve been great to grab on the go and have in my handbag when one of us gets hungry.Overall I think they are good value for money when bought in this bulk pack and they are surprisingly filling, whilst also being a bit better for our health than our usual snacks, so it’s 5 stars from us!

This box of 24 ‘Zombie’ fruit bars comes in 4 flavours; raspberry, cherry, strawberry and mango. The bars are 100% fruit with no added sugar, making them perfect for a variety of dietary restrictions.We sat down as a family for taste testing and concluded:Sour Cherry Chainsaw - This was the weakest in our collective opinion as the sourness had a bitter edge to it. The cherry flavour took a while to come through the sourness, and is not particularly strong.Sour Straw Buried - The lemon seems to really bring out the tang of the strawberry and pronounce the flavour. This is quite nice, but similar to the cheery flavour, the sourness takes priority, failing to let the strawberry really shineRaspberry Reaper - This had a more pleasant flavour and once again, the lemon helps bring out the sharpness of raspberryMan Ghouled Mango - This was the unanimous star of the show. This one lacks lemon and really allows the mango flavour to be more prominent. It has the sweeter flavour in our opinion but we think a bit more mango (rather than the 10%) could have really pushed the depth of flavour.Despite all the flavoured branding, the bars themselves are almost identical slabs of brownish purple, sticky fruit. We all agreed that a whole bar can be quite sickly unless eaten slowly. In fact, making these half the size may be ideal, although that would therefore not make them 1 of your 5 a day. The mango bar was slightly chewier than the others.Closer inspection of the ingredients, confirms that ~90% of the bars are made up of apple and lemon with the remaining 10% being the fruit each bar is themed on. This makes sense since a pure cherry, strawberry, mango, raspberry bar would probably be very overpowering. I suspect the apple adds the sweetness and bulk required for these to produce a consistent chewy bar, however it feels like a bit of a copout when you read the ingredients and I think it should state apple as the primary ingredient a little more prominently (poor apple, our unsung hero)!Overall, we liked the bars but struggled to justify wanting to purchase these at the rrp (£17.99 at time of review). We all seemed to agree that ~£3 for a pack of 6 would be a palatable price and competitive in the crowded snack market. We really did like the product (and loved the theme); especially the fact that they are all natural and made of 100% fruit, but could not see this as a daily snack we would give to the kids/choose to have ourselves. As a treat they are perfect (especially for school trip pack lunches) and the kids really loved them, however some flavours were clear winners over others making a variety pack a bit of a hit and miss. Definitely worth a try in our opinion and I would definitely purchase these again at a more reasonable price.

Thumbs up from my boys.They tell me these are like Yoyos, I have not tried thesse but can see the similarities.Big pack of 24 bars in four flavours, my kids say they like the sour and the sweet.I'm happy these are inclusive of fruit and are a snack that's small and sweet to give some energy without resorting to a chocolate bar.My eldest has braces and he says these are fine for that, aren't getting stuck in the metal, easy to clean off, which is a relief. He likes sweet things so snacks he can still manage are a bonus.Vegan and great for other food preferences/intolerances.We quite like the branding, the variety names made us laugh (Raspberry Reaper!), colourful box and packaging.One end of each packet is hard to open, the other easy, so let kids know that, I found it too.

I wanted to try and find some healthier snacks to eat after a meal so decided to give these ago. I'm glad I did as they have fulfilled the purpose really well and we are thoroughly enjoying them.They are colourful and quirky and look great in their presentation box. You get four different flavours which are zingy and delicious if a little different.They are pretty much zero fat and contain around 80 cal each. They also form one of your five a day so our nutritious as well as tasty. They are suitable for vegans, gluten-free and both kosher and halal friendly.

My son absolutely loves his zombie fruit leather bars. It's great to know that these things are healthy and tasty. At the same time. There are an array of different flavours from apple and blackberry to apple and orange and apple and strawberry and apple and peach. These count as one of your five a day, they have no added sugar, the completely gluten free and vegan and carbon neutral. Neutral. Kids will love them because of the outlandish design and zombie themed artwork. We also love the eye catching colours. I enjoy eating them myself to be fair! They seem to be disappearing quite fast, which can only be a good thing. Will definitely be ordering more. Arrived quick and more packaged. Good value for money, and it's money well spent given that they're also healthy.

These are good value in the bulk buy. The branding is clearly aimed at kids, and for our six year old this is a good thing - like all kids she likes snacks, but we have a little guilt if its always crisps or chocolate. Is this a healthy alternative? Well, probably not fully healthy - yes, swapping sucrose for fructose, and they seem a bit UPF. However, that said, they are lower calorie, and given their made from fruit they're are probably some surviving micronutrients. So not healthy in themselves, but in comparison to the alternative chocies they're at least healthier! Every little helps.

🔧 Build & FunctionalityI love Zombie! Such clever branding for a fruit-based snack in my opinion. The black packaging with super bright eye-catching zombie designs instantly gets kids attention. The bars came in two tasty flavours, one sweet, one sour. They do taste similar other fruit bars, but they certainly have a stronger more enjoyable fruit taste. Theres also a QR on the back of the bars with a really fun zombie themed game you can play on your phone!✅ Pros• Branding and package design in excellent• Better taste than others I’ve tried• 12 sweet bars, 12 sour bars included• Great price❌ Cons• Some children may dislike the natural flavour🧾 VerdictExcellent item for a great price. I am now a Zombie fan!

I'll give it to the branding team - the packing looks incredible. It's neon, edgy and definitely stands out in a lunch box. As for the actual snack? It's fine. The flavour is there, unlike some fruit snacks that taste like melted plastic, you can tell these are 100% fruit. However, the texture is where it loses me. I know its called a fruit leather, but they took the leather part literally. It's incredibly tough, its like chewing on a fruity belt.It's not bad, but its certainly not great. It's a middle of the road snack that leans heavily on its cool art style.

I love these Zombie fruit bars, they are so tasty. They come in a box of 24, 6 of each flavour, 2 flavours of which are sour. The bars are packed with dense fruit, that are strong in flavour and make a satisfying healthy snack. My partner rarely eats fruit but really enjoys the fruit bars, so it's great to know he's getting 1 of his 5-a-day with no effort. The bars are fab for lunchboxes and easy to carry around in my bag or pocket, so no excuse to not have a healthy snack to hand. These Zombie fruit bars are good value, excellent tasting and I highly recommend them.

The children have had another email from the school saying that only healthy snacks are allowed, and whilst my kids always adhere to this rule, others do not. Rice cakes and fruit are not as cool as biscuits. These 'Zombie Fruit Bars' may just be the perfect mix of healthy and cool that the kids need.This pack comes in four flavours including the likes of strawberry, or mango. They vary in tartness, but most have a sour aftertaste. The strawberry starts sweet and then hits you with lemon at the end. I was not sure myself, but the children love them.The great thing is that they are pressed fruit and one of your five a day. The whole look is also cool, making fun of zombie fruit with some edgy designs. They work perfectly to slip into a school bag as a snack as they are individually wrapped. The quality is way up there and at 75p a bar, they are good value if it means getting the children to east something other than pure sugar.

We taste tested each of the different bars and they were all very strong flavours that were just lovely in their own right for each one. I liked the Raspberry Reaper, it was like a really nice jam in a stick form. The hubby loved the sour cherry chainsaw, very tart and sour on top. All the while the dog was licking his lips so even he knew they smelled delicious.The packaging on these are just great. Really friendly colours, lots of bright popping ones and hit the mark with the zombie theme spot on. Really attractive to younger teens who're in to the zombie games as well as adults who want a properly nice treat.The box has two rows with each having two sections for the packs, sadly you only get to see one of the flavours for each side and, the flavour name is at the bottom obscured by the box itself. A missed opportunity to move the flavour to the top of the packet so it's clearly visible.Overall, fantastic presentation and flavours that are really strong, stickly and just outright delicious.

These fruit bars are one of those snacks that feel like a treat but are actually very simple and honest. They are made from 100% dried fruit with only a handful of ingredients, they have that naturally sweet, chewy texture that reminds me of old school fruit leathers, but with much brighter, fresher flavour.Before writing about the flavours, how cool does the box look! So unique, eye-catching and colourful - your eye can't help but be drawn to it!! Really impressed with that and it does keep very well with the Zombie theme.The variety box is a good mix, with mango and raspberry for the sweeter side, and sour cherry and sour strawberry for a sharper hit. The sour ones in particular really stand out, they have a proper tang that makes your mouth tingle without being unpleasant. The mango is soft, mellow, and naturally sweet, while the raspberry has a deeper, richer fruitiness. There is a noticeable difference between each flavour, which makes working through the box far from boring.The texture is satisfyingly gummy and chewy without sticking to your teeth too much. They are easy to eat on the go, slip into a bag, or have with a cup of tea when you want something sweet but not overly indulgent. Knowing they count as 1 of your 5 a day and contain no added sugar makes them feel like a sensible choice rather than a guilty one.I also like that they are free from common allergens, gluten free, vegan, and made with recyclable packaging by a carbon neutral company. It feels like a product that has been thought through properly, not just in taste but in how it is made and presented.With 24 bars in the box, there is plenty to enjoy and enough variety to keep reaching for a different flavour each time. These are a genuinely tasty, convenient fruit snack that delivers real flavour without any unnecessary extras.

*** Zombie Fruit Bars, Variety Box (24 Bars, 4 Flavours - 2 Sours), 100% Dried Fruit, Healthy Snacks, Adults, Kids, Halloween Trick or Treat, Low Calorie, Gluten Free, Vegan, Halal, Real, No Added Sugar ***I feel like overall this is a pretty good product, and a great option for snacks for kids. The taste on some of the options isn't quite what I expected, but overall they still taste good.Value for money is relatively decent, 24 bars for £17.99 puts them at 75p a bar, which seems reasonable.I think the true value of these though comes in getting kids to eat more fruit. The packaging and design of these bars is definitely colourful and fun and will appeal a lot to kids. It makes them feel more like a treat than a piece of fruit. And with the ingredient list being so small, you can feel confident that they are eating something healthy.All in all, these are pretty good for adults and kids. I do think the taste could be a smidge better, but that would probably require additional ingredients which takes away from another positive of these. Pricing could be a smidge better too, but I do think that they are fine priced as they are.
