Fourpoints Bar
Colorado Trail Chocolate Peanut // Box of 12
Product Description
The fourpoints® slow-burning energy bars are the first and only dried plum-based bars on the market. They're designed for long-term energy, with no spike or crash from sugars or preservatives, and they're formulated so they won't freeze in cold conditions. At 2.5 ounces a piece, they're the best bang for your buck - and your blood sugar.
Colorado Trail Chocolate Peanut is inspired by, well, the Colorado Trail. Every summer, Kevin and Patrick like to throw on their packs to escape the daily grind. If they know one thing, it's that a week or two on the Colorado Trail will test you, reward you, and definitely reset you. And it doesn’t get more remote than Snow Mesa - one of the largest expanses of tundra in the lower 48. It's their favorite stretch on the trail, which runs 486 miles from Denver to Durango.
Before that inevitable thunderstorm chases you across the alpine plane, make sure you stop to fuel up with this trail-tested chocolate peanut energy bar. The roasted peanuts, sea salt, vanilla and cacao may invoke an eye-closing satisfaction, but don’t worry, the rush of energy will keep those eyes open and those legs moving.
The wrapper design even features a topographical map of Snow Mesa.

About the Designer
Kevin and Patrick's story began in the summer of 2007 at 14,000 feet. While descending a pair of 14er’s, they were caught by two of the most dreaded “crashes” in mountaineering: the crash of lightning from a fast moving thunderstorm, and the energy crash from the gels, bars, and energy drinks they relied on to sustain them. Exhausted at the worst possible time, they learned that with blood sugar, as in mountain climbing, what goes up must come down.
This experience on the high peaks, along with their family’s multi-generational battle with diabetes and high blood sugar, prompted them to take a closer look at the food they were using to fuel their performance. And since they couldn’t find a complete, on-the-go nutritional option that they really liked to support their active lifestyle, they set out to craft one for themselves.
Relying on their backgrounds in athletics and sports nutrition, they handpicked the perfect combination of superfood ingredients, that could be packed together to create more than just a snack bar. It would be a next-level energy bar based on four main points: It would have an optimal glycemic load for healthier blood sugar and sustained energy. It would be macronutrient dense. It would contain only real, natural food products, and it would taste delicious under any condition.
For several years, their homemade energy bar would successfully fuel many adventures and they would often joke about being tired of making them for friends and family for free. When strangers began asking about them, they decided it was finally time to go into business. So in 2014, they recruited their friend Steve, and together they introduced the fourpoints® real food energy bar. A bar for all four seasons and all four points on the compass, with four pillars of active nutrition built in.
In April of 2017, fourpoints® bar was featured in Backpacker Magazine's coveted gear guide, dubbing it the "Slow Burn Energy" bar.
