Do you love chocolate and candy, but wish it had less calories, sugar, corn syrup, and just overall junk?

Well, collegiettes, that delicious treat you dream about exists! UNREAL Candy is great tasting candy bar with much better ingredients – no artificial ingredients or preservatives – and at a comparable price to the other candy brands you grew up with!

UNREAL is starting with candy – one of the worst offenders. Most people think that corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, artificial flavors, synthetic colors, and GMOs are in candy to make the food taste better. Sadly, they’re really there to make candy cheaper (and more profitable!) to the manufacture.
 
So what can be done?  The UNREAL team has replaced the junk in candy with good stuff: double the cacao, more peanuts, real milk, cane sugar, and organic palm fruit oil. Naturally, without all this junk, the candy is much healthier – and tastes great, too! With 30% less sugar, 60% more fiber, and 250% more protein on average per serving than other leading competing
brands, its a no-brainer.
 
Instead of targeting natural food retailers, UNREAL is competing head to head–at the same price across CVS, Walgreens, Kroger, Rite Aid, Haggen, BJs, Michaels, Food 4 Less, Staples, TOP, Fred Meyer, Ralphs, and many more national retailers. The plan is to disrupt the junk food market by proving you can unjunk candy, still enjoy the taste, pay the same price and find it everywhere you normally shop!
 
UNREAL’s goal is to be BIGGER in everything that they do. But they can only fulfill that goal by creating real change. And that is just what UNREAL does.  They’re changing the way to think about food – by offering better choices, and by motivating the food industry to offer better choices for all.

And you can watch the star-studded endoresement video starring Tom Brady, Gisele Bundchen, Matt Damon, John Legend, and Jack Dorsey here.

We’ll be giving out UNREAL all over campus! Follow us @HerCampusNYU with hashtag #getunreal and tweet us where you want us to give out the candy!
