Chocolate Distribution has become the exclusive UK distributor for Honey Stinger for 2011.

This follows the news that Lance Armstrong, seven-time Tour de France winner, has bought a minority share in the company hailing from Steamboat Springs, Colorado.

Honey Stinger offer a range of honey-based energy bars, gels, waffles and chews, using natural ingredients for a nutritious and great tasting snack. The energy products are already used by many top runners and cyclists, including the Trek Livestrong under-23 team.

We tried a selection of the different bars at the Core Bike show and came away impressed. Of notable interest was the Stinger Waffle, a snack that proved immensely tasty with an interesting texture unlike typical energy bars. 

We’ll report back soon with a first taste once we’ve worked through the small pile on our desk.
