Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Crunchy One by Harken Sweets is Plant-Based & Rich in Fiber

Each plant-based candy bar offers a richly satisfying experience with texture and flavor, ensuring that ingredient-conscious individuals with a sweet tooth aren't left wanting more from the experience.

Coated in an indulgent milk chocolate-style coating made with oats, these plant-based candy bars double as first-of-their-kind functional candy bars. Free from additives and artificial ingredients, these bars made with prebiotic fiber are more than just a sweet treat.
