I just noticed that Larabar has introduced a new line called Maya. The Maya bars seem to start off with a similar base to their regular Larabars - meaning all natural, organic dried fruits and nuts, with no added sugars - but they have Fair Trade Certified cocoa and cacao nibs added to them, along with a combination of natural flavorings. The Maya bars, like regular Larabars, are also completely vegan. There are four flavors in the new line: Maya Chocolate, Maya Orange, Maya Coffee and Maya Mint. I love the idea of a snack version of a Larabar, a healthy stand-in for a chocolate bar. I already love the Coca Mole Larabar, which is flavored with cocoa powder, cinnamon and chilies, and expect the new bars to be a bit more chocolaty, given that they include the cacao nibs.
Has anyone seen these in stores? I've been looking, but haven't found them yet. You can buy them by the boxful online, which might be a good idea for those who are already fans of the bars.

These are the same 3 Larabars they sell at my Trader Joes. The other ones are actually better than those. You can find other flavors at small health stores. Try cashew cookie and coconut chocolate.

Whole Foods should have them, that's where I got mine. I love the plain chocolate, I actually found this page because I'm surfing a deal on a case...
