If Oprah likes it, it's got to be good. Entertainment magnate Oprah Winfrey lists Zingerman's Zzang bars as one of her favorite things in the September issue of O Magazine.

Listed alongside items like Jolly Llama's Sorbet Sqeezeups and a patio heater that looks like a table lamp, the magazine describes Zzang bars as “chewy, crunchy, sweet, salty and highly addictive — this luscious handmade candy bar puts the vending machine stuff to shame.”

Zzang bars were also featured on the Food Network's "Kid In A Candy Store" in May.
