I received a box in the mail the other day that surprised me more than any other box I have received! It was some product samples from Snikiddy - all-natural snacks that taste like real junk food!
I have to admit that I am not one of those mothers who stocks their kitchen with only healthy food choices for their children. Health food nut I am not...but I do like to look into the different types of healthy snacks and I will make well-rounded meals for the children, don't get me wrong. The snack cabinet in my house is FULL of junk food, but I now have reason to buy healthy snacks for my kids, thanks to Snikiddy.
My initial thought was...okay, here's another tasteless, odorless snack that the kids will turn their nose up at...
But, I was wrong!
I would like to also add that when we tested these Snikiddy snacks, the house was full of all kinds of sweets and treats that are not so healthy for the kids...but, once we started eating them...they were gone fast!
We tried the Grilled Cheese Puffs first. The kids wolfed them down! I mean WOLFED! I'm not exaggerating when I say that Snikiddy makes the best cheese puffs that I've ever tasted. I asked the kids, "Do these taste like regular cheese puffs?"
The response was an overwhelming: "No, they're better!"
Little Dakoda kept getting a couple from me, running off, eating them and then coming back for, "Mo!"The cheese puffs are perfect for the one year old who is learning to eat finger foods...this idea comes from me, not the company.
We had two bags of Cheddar Cheese Fries...OH MY GOODNESS! Even my husband thought that they tasted better than any of the other cheddar cheese fries on the market. We all tested them and the resounding assessment was that they were unbelievably yummy!
We saved the Original Baked Fries for last because, to be quite honest, I expected them to be bland and tasteless...
Boy, I hate to be wrong! The Snikiddy Original Baked Fries have a distinctive taste that reminded Nicholas of steak fries and me of a soft sour cream and onion taste.
All of the above Snikiddy products contain no corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, trans fat, preservatives, are gluten and wheat free, and are low in saturated fat! And they are finger-licking delicious! (According to our whole family!)
They have a handy-dandy store locator here.
