Treatfuls What The Lemon is the most surprising addition to the Treatfuls collection. Among names such as Best Date You’ll Ever Have and Sweeter Than Your Ex, this one sounds surprising—and that’s exactly the first impression the taste can evoke. Because lemon in a date and nut bar? Yes. And it works.
It is a fully vegan, organic bar with no refined sugar. The sweetness comes from date paste and syrup, and the white cocoa butter coating is sweetened with birch xylitol. The ingredients include 13% hazelnuts and 13% almonds – a solid, real flavor base – broken up by natural lemon oil (0.04%) and a pinch of salt.
The flavor profile is fresh and bright, but still grounded in a creamy texture.
- First, there is a sweet, vanilla-coconut note of white coating.
- A moment later, lemon enters – not sour, not aggressive, rather aromatic, zesty, like in a homemade cake.
- Finally, there is a soft, buttery presence of almonds and hazelnuts.
The effect is reminiscent of a light lemon cake with a nutty base – only in a raw, plant-based version. The citrus does not dominate, but gives the bar a lightness and freshness that is often lacking in classic date sweets.
The texture is consistent and multi-layered: a soft, slightly caramelized date base, noticeable pieces of nuts, a delicate oat structure, and melt-in-the-mouth plant-based "white chocolate." It's a combination familiar from classic supermarket bars with white coating – but made exclusively from natural, organic ingredients.
The nutritional values (24 g of fat and 9 g of protein per 100 g) show that this is a filling bar, based on nuts rather than empty fillers. 6 g of fiber further reinforces its "more conscious" character.
100% organic, 100% vegan ingredients, no refined sugar, fair trade recyclable coating.
What The Lemon is for those who like classic, creamy sweets – but with a hint of freshness. The nutty base and light coating meet with a lemon twist. Subtle, natural, and without exaggeration.
