Description
Sustain Your Performance Sweet Spot
The Energy Chews Sport Fuel(Box of 10) from Skratch Labs help maintain blood sugar for sustained performance. These energy chews are flavored with real fruit for a clean taste and non-waxy texture. Tapioca and cane sugar are the primary sources of fuel, inducing quicker absorption than a single fuel source would. The chews' fruit drop shape promotes a sustained "slow drip" delivery of fuel for long lasting energy.
For optimal results, Skratch Labs recommends one serving of Energy Chews each hour for activities lasting longer than 2 hours, beginning the first hour. If you're going super hard and super long, you may even try up to 2 servings per hour.

Reviews
These taste good and deliver but are sticky and therefore difficult to eat while riding and gunk up your fingers too. The packaging doesn't lend it self to accessing and eating while riding either. Best to just eat these before a ride and/or while stopped.
These energy chews have great taste/selection of flavors and sit very well with me on long rides. The only downside, and it's minor, the packaging is hard to open while riding......
It's a small package (easy to carry in a jersey pocket) and by recommended serving size only two serving, but you don't have to use that many at a time to get a boost. They serve their purpose and they don't stick to your teeth like many gummies. And they taste great and come in a variety of flavors.
These chews taste really good, and are easy to chew and swallow. Unfortunately, they're not convenient to eat on a bike; once you open the packet enough to reach in, they're liable to fall out (either in your pocket or on the road), they don't simply roll out when you shake the packet. You have to kinda dig in with your fingers to get one, and then after you eat it, there's sticky granulated sugar left on your fingers, which is kinda delicious, but when I'm riding, my fingers are usually kinda gross.
Clif Bloks don't taste quite as good, and require a bit more chewing, but you can eat them one-handed without too much work.
I've tried tons of different energy chews over the years and my default is typically Clif Shot Bloks that I buy locally and individually, but in the last year they've become hard to get, so I thought I'd try these in a bulk box buy, in several flavors. They work well for providing energy and you get more of them for the money than the Shot Bloks. They're easier to chew as well and don't get stuck to your teeth like Shot Bloks and some others. About the only downside over Shot Bloks is these aren't linear in the package, so you have to fish around to get them out and in your mouth.
Nice that these have natural ingredients. I give it only four stars due to not being able to get the chews out of the packet without using two hands (e.g., can get Clif Bloks out of the packet by squeezing them out, which is nice for eating while riding). Also, the granulated sugar coating the individual chews is a bit of a mess when you are having to pick them out of the packet.
I use Skratch energy Chews Strategically on Group Rides. I have one right before the ride, & I will eat 2 at a regroup before big hills. Usually I have 4 on a 2 hour ride. I notice I have tons of energy towards the end of the ride before and during the sprint. They really make a difference!
