Kez’s has launched a new line of dessert-inspired Choc Mud Bars that, despite their indulgent facade, also come with a 4-star rating.

The gluten free bars, which are labelled "Free & Naked", are the first from Kez's to include the new front-of-pack health star rating system and were specially formulated with this in mind.

They are made from just five natural ingredients and contain no 'hidden nasties', according to the Melbourne manufacturer.

“There really is nothing to hide,” Kez's says.

Choc Mud Bars contain raw fruit, making them a source of fibre, and include no added sugar. They also tick a lot of other boxes, says Kez’s: they are vegan, lactose free, egg free, wheat free, GMO free, sulphite free, cholesterol free, and low in sodium.

Choc Mud Bars are being sold in Coles at a recommended retail price of $5.95.
