snack attack: the roman bar
10December 13th, 2009products
the roman bar was born in 1990 when roman starno had the idea to dip a fig newton into some chocolate and let it cool. today, almost 20 years later, a variation of that experiment is available at stores all over southern california and beyond. they come in several different flavors, and recently i had an opportunity to sample the raspberry variety. completely vegan, this treat tastes just like a fruity fig newton encased in thick chocolate. chewy and soft in the middle and perfectly sweet, the roman bar packs tons of delicious flavor. each bar is under 200 calories, so they make for a tasty and guilt-free snack any time of day.
you can find the roman bar at select whole foods locations in socal, as well as in the nature mart bulk bins, at the santa monica co-opportunity, and at follow your heart market. if you are in the mood for something fruity and chocolatey, give the roman bar a try, it won’t disappoint!

Not to be crude, but the first thing I noticed was the column looks like a penis.
And yum! -

I tried one of these from Follow Your Heart. It was amazing, way better than a Fig Newton.

Yeah, it does. Don’t know about you, but I like to suck the chocolate off candy bars b4 I eat the insides. Would be a little strange doing it to this one bearing in mind the phallic image on the box!

This is such an interesting idea. So glad they did it w/ vegan chocolate.

I went to Nature Mart today to try this because it’s so close to my house. I loved it, and just wish they would come out with a chocolate coconut flavor.

Just FYI, one of the types is not vegan… apricot maybe? Not sure, just check before buying. Also, these things are crazy expensive.

I heard about these a while ago but then they fell off my radar. Thanks for the reminder & the pic; that chocolate “dip” looks nice & thick.

OK, these are not to be found on the east coast & to buy direct costs almost as much to ship as for a box. Does anyone know of another online/mail order retailer that carries these?
