Honey Stinger Energy Chews

If there's one snack in this article that we would gladly eat for all of eternity, it would be these Honey Stinger Energy Chews. These are basically gummy bears for grown-ups, and they are, needless to say, delicious.

A Quick—and Satisfying—Burst of Energy

We love how practical these Energy Chews are on the trail. One mountain biking tester reported that he keeps a packet of Energy Chews in his jersey pocket and periodically scarfs down a few gummies without ever having to hop off his bike. Granted, you can't beat gels when it comes to rapid-fire, mid-motion energy boosts, and we're big fans of Honey Stinger's Energy Gels (LINK), which are essentially flavored honey and electrolyte cocktails. That said, Energy Chews are preferable if you want to space out consumption (half-eaten gels don't keep particularly well). Furthermore, our testers found the sweet taste and chewy texture of Honey Stinger's gummies satisfying beyond measure.

Honey Stinger's Wonka-esque Flavors

Honey Stinger's Energy Chews are available in a variety of tasty flavors. Fruit Smoothie and Lemonade are our favorites. Pomegranate Passionfruit is pretty delicious, too. If you need an extra surge of energy, Cherry Cola and Limeade are both caffeinated—giddyup!

Best for: Eating candy without feeling bad about it. Also—hiking, biking, climbing, backpacking, ski touring, so on and so forth.
