A lot of bagels you can buy from the store just simply are not vegan. I found this recipe over at vegan-recipe.net and have been using it a lot.. Sure it takes a little time, but you can always make them the night before and have delicious vegan bagels waiting for you the next morning. [...]

Oskri Organics Coconut Bar with Pineapple, Gluten Free, 1.86-Ounce Bars
I agree with those before: there is very little pineapple taste in it, but the bars are amazing. They are just sweet coconut. Tastes great.
Oskri Organics Coconut Bar, Pineapple Bars – - – Don’t be fooled by the name. There is only a small amount of concentrated pineapple juice. I suspect they added it for the preservative effect. I do not taste any pineapple in this; BUT I LOVE THESE BARS.
The other ingredients are coconut, and rice syrup.
The coconut is left as shredded, so you do get the taste and texture of coconut. For plain coconut tasting bars, these are good. Add some chocolate chips and it tastes much like a Mounds Bar.
Even though I am disappointed there is no pineapple taste, These are extremely good. I am ordering more today.

If I were less delighted with the moist and chewy texture and yummy sweet-but-not-too-sweet taste, I’d take a star off for building up false expectations. It may have pineapple flavor, but you won’t taste it. Well, unless you have some sort of mutant supertaste ability.
However, that aside: YUM!!!!!!! Prepare to chew a lot (but if you ever have had coconut meat, you know you do a ton of chewing.) Lots of fiber:4.8 grams per bar. Happy colon bonus!
If you’re watching your weight, beware of the calories. Don’t go by the nutritional info listed up there on amazon as of 4/13. It’s wrong. I have a bar right here and the calorie count for the whole bar is 264, with 16.9 grams of fat, 14.8 of them saturated. (Yeah, yeah, I’ve read about how the coconut oil saturated fat is different and supposedly good for the immune system/thyroid, etc… but for folks who watch their sat fat, there it is.)
However, I can’t fault the taste. Really nice. My mom used to make homemade coconut candy with fresh coconuts, Caribbean style, and it had that same chewiness and coconuttiness and simple list of ingredients. However, mom’s had tons of sugar…it did verge on too sweet to my adult tongue (though not my child’s taste buds). This is more suitable to my grown-up desires for less sugariness. These are organic and vegan and, well, fun.
Now, if they could only make it more pineappley so it’s like a pina colada, that would be nice, huh?
Enjoy.

I haven’t ever left feedback before, but I had to say that these are one of the tastiest bars I have ever had!!
As everyone else said, they are very coconutty- with no pineapple flavor. But considering how healthful coconut is for you (I recommend eating one with breakfast every morning!!), and their organic status, these are wonderful!! They aren’t too sweet- just enough to make it very palatable.
I am going to order two more kinds, just to try them all!! YAY for subscribe and save- which makes them very affordable!!

I have found a new addiction. I ordered the pineapple, the plain, the mango and some Turkish Delight bars and each and every flavor is simply outstanding. I am going to melt some chocolate and pour it over the plain coconut bar and see how that knocks my socks off. Also delectable on these bars is a dollop or two of Nutella. OH MY! These bars are heavenly.

Very good taste, perfect amount of sweetness. It’s great to have a convenient snack without a mile-long list of ingredients I can’t pronounce!
