“We get it, sometimes you just want a small treat,” said Bixby founder Kate McAleer. “Our new Bixby Bites™ offer that and protein and fiber to help satiate hunger cravings. We’ve also added the milk chocolate version of our most popular bar, Nutty For You™, so that everyone can enjoy a satisfying treat.”
