I found a few Bumble Bars in the kitchen cupboard (leftover from a trip where I didn’t need to eat them). They’re organic, gluten-free, wheat-free, vegan and ethically sourced.
The main ingredients are sesame and flax seeds and comes in a variety of flavors. I finally got around to trying them, mostly because it was getting very close to the date printed on the package.
I hate to say it but when I first ripped open the wrapper and saw the bar, it kinda reminded me of birdseed, especially the Original flavor, the one that’s pictured below. The other two that I tried, look less like birdseed. But the taste is actually really good.
Sweet, like a candy bar but not too sweet. And not crazy chewy like some energy bars. Original definitely has more of a sesame taste with a few peanut chunks thrown in.
The Chocolate Crisp doesn’t have a strong chocolate taste. But because of the crisp brown rice, it’s a bit crispy. The Chunky Cherry has pieces of cherry and is a little sticky and gooey compared to the other two.
Who knew sesame seeds could pack so much energy? I only wish I tried them sooner.

They totally look like birdseed, but they’re yummy!

I haven’t had a Bumble bar in so long!, but I remember liking them. I like feeling like a bird.
My local Trader Joe’s store has these sesame crepe things that I think are kinda similar, but chewier (with rice flour). Sesame seeds in sweets…mmmmm!

you know, i’ve seen those around and never thought to pick any up. i like that they’re not too sweet and gluten-free is alway a winner in my book. i think i’ gonna have to grab the chocolate one next time i see ’em. thanks!

One of the few granola bars that I still haven’t tried! Thanks for your thoughts on these, perhaps I’ll finally give them a try too.

hahah. i’ve seen these in stores and didn’t pay much attention to them. i honestly assumed they had honey in them and just moved right on past. i guess i shouldn’t judge an energy bar by its wrapper :)

I’ve always seen these bars, I love the packaging, and wondered what they tasted like. I love sesame treats. I guess I’ll have to just go try them for myself now.

I happen to pick up the lemon one today at TJ Maxx of all places.
It was lemony and not too sweet. I love all things sesame and this is definitely something I will buy again. Looking forward to trying some others especially the cherry one.

I think I need to try these. I love sesame snacks like this.
