The Wonders of Xocolate Bar's Banana Jerky

Meet your next addiction.

​It's been said that artisanal jerky is "having a moment," and we've just tasted a surprising variety that would support this notion. The Xocolate Bar's vegan banana jerky is coated in a crumbly, melty shell of dark chocolate that smeared across our white tee like the scene of a grisly accident. This is our idea of some good flesh to gnaw on, though it doesn't really last as long as a Slim Jim.
