What is a Panjiri Crunch Bar?

A gluten-free Panjiri Crunch Bar layered with rich 61% dark chocolate for a crisp, nutty bite unlike any other snack.

Panjiri is a centuries-old roasted snack from the Indian subcontinent. Our family recipe is made with roasted moong lentils instead of wheat, creating the signature texture inside every bar.

Made with roasted moong lentils, almonds, coconut, melon seeds, makhana, ghee and cardamom, every bite brings together rich dark chocolate with the layered texture and flavor of our signature Panjiri.
