NuGo Dark aims to reinvent the classic peanut butter cup as a high-protein, whole-food bar. It’s vegan, gluten-free, non-GMO, and free of palm oil or artificial ingredients, making it a nutritionally solid option. But the experience doesn’t quite deliver: it’s overly sweet and the texture leans more rice-crispy than candy-bar indulgent. Fine for convenience and nutrition in a pinch, but not a bar I’d choose regularly.
