'Barebells,' the Swedish food manufacturer famous for its high-protein, low-sugar protein bars, has debuted a new flavor named 'Creamy Crisp.' While the Creamy Crisp flavor is technically a new offering for the brand, it is in fact a renamed version of the brand's 'Holiday Crisp' bar from late 2021. The Creamy Crisp name was selected to advertise the fact that this bar will now be a permanent part of Barebells' product list. The bar was brought back by popular demand.
The protein bar itself incorporates a creamy chocolate shell that gives it its name. The bar is filled with salted caramel and small puffed crisps that create an eloquent blend of sweet and savory flavors combined with a creamy, crispy texture.
