I found Boom Choco Boom Dairy-Free Rice Milk With Crispy Rice Bar at my local Whole Foods store and after reviewing the Boom Choco Boom Dark Chocolate bar and absolutely loving it I couldn’t resist the rest of the family.

The Boom Choco Boom Dairy-Free Rice Milk With Crispy Rice Bar was a no brainer for me after I loved the dark chocolate version so much. I just couldn’t wait to sink my teeth in to this allergy friendly bar!
Taste:
The Boom Choco Boom Dairy-Free Rice Milk With Crispy Rice Bar comes in a foil wrapper that looks very much like all of the other Boom Choco Boom bars. It does take some close reading to make sure that you get the bar you are looking for. Upon opening the bright colored wrapper the initial scent is one of rich chocolate, a deep dark chocolate scent.
As I take my first bite of the Boom Choco Boom Dairy-Free Rice Milk With Crispy Rice Bar I remember what it is that I love so much about the Boom Choco Boom bars, the texture. There is such a thick snap to the chocolate when I take a small bite and it immediately leaves me wanting more. There is a crispy texture to the chocolate that is slightly distracting from the initial chocolate flavor and to be honest I find it a little less appealing than the original dark chocolate bar. The flavor to the milk chocolate is significantly sweeter than the dark chocolate bar but it is not artificially sweet it is simply sweet. As I chew a small piece of chocolate the rice pieces are definitely plentiful and they add a slight cereal flavor to the bar that is pleasant. The chocolate is deep in flavor yet not as deep as the dark chocolate bar was. The cocoa is pleasant yet not as discernible as it was in the dark chocolate bar.
The aftertaste of the Boom Choco Boom Dairy-Free Rice Milk With Crispy Rice Bar is a little too sweet and while it is not milky or artificial it is certainly a heavily sugared aftertaste.
Ingredients:
The ingredients in the Boom Choco Boom Dairy-Free Rice Milk With Crispy Rice Bar include: Evaporated Cane Juice; Non-Dairy Cocoa Butter; Natural Chocolate Liquor (Non-Alcoholic); Rice Crisps (Rice Flour, Rice Bran, Raisin Juice, Honey, Salt); Rice Milk Powder (Rice Syrup Powder, Rice Starch, Rice Flour, Salt, Carrageenan); Salt.
The Bottom Line:
The Boom Choco Boom Dairy-Free Rice Milk With Crispy Rice Bar is pleasant but certainly not a chocolate bar that is as delicious as the dark chocolate bar. This bar is a lot sweeter and not as enjoyable as the dark chocolate bar either. I believe that it is not the addition of the rice that makes this bar less enjoyable than its sister bar; however, I feel it is the inclusion of milk rather than dark chocolate. Were the bar to be a dark chocolate with rice cereal bar I would have had a much more pleasant taste experience.
