Instead, this Walmart-exclusive novelty requires frozen storage, and features an ample sprinkling of chocolate-drizzled almonds and peanuts atop a creamy almond base.<\/p>\n<h3>How is it?<\/h3>\n<p>Unassuming appearance aside, one bite is all it takes to realize these are definitely at home sandwiched in-between the frozen dessert aisle\u2019s typical guilty pleasures. Unlike KIND\u2019s flagship line of bars, which I feel generally emulate eating a brick of compressed bird seed, the addition of an almond-based frozen dessert layer, as well as generous amounts of dark chocolate, keep this experience 100% indulgent from beginning to end.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/KIND-Frozen-Dark-Chocolate-Sea-Salt-Bar-Halved.jpg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"KIND Frozen Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Bar Halved\" title=\"KIND Frozen Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Bar Halved.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The almond base is really where KIND hits it out of the park. Rather than resembling an icy, chalky brick like most supposedly \u201ccreamy\u201d plant-based frozen desserts, it\u2019s smooth, silky, and melty as soon as it hits your tongue. Part of this superb texture may be attributable to the addition of milkfat, which makes this a rare KIND offering that doesn\u2019t cater to the dairy-intolerant.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/KIND-Frozen-Dark-Chocolate-Sea-Salt-Bar-Top.jpg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"KIND Frozen Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Bar Top\" title=\"KIND Frozen Dark Chocolate Sea Salt Bar Top.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The nuts on top provide a pleasant crunch to contrast against the creamy almond layer, and help accentuate the light nutty taste of the base itself. On the bottom, the dark chocolate coating provides an extra bit of snap, and a pleasant bittersweet note to offset the treat\u2019s sweeter aspects.<\/p>\n<h3>Is there anything else you need to know?<\/h3>\n<p>One not-so-great thing about this treat\u2019s readiness to melt is that it\u2019s nearly impossible to get home without having it going completely soft. Luckily, re-freezing it doesn\u2019t seem to hurt its texture too much, so this shouldn\u2019t be too much of a problem as long as you\u2019re okay with less-than-picture-perfect bars.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion:<\/h3>\n<p>Do the KIND thing for your body and soul by picking up a couple bars the next time you stop by your local Walmart.
