Betty Crocker Gluten-Free Fruit Snacks {Review and Giveaway}

My Blog Spark has teamed up with Betty Crocker yet again to provide another wonderful review opportunity for us bloggers(and you readers *wink wink*)! Similar to my last Review with Betty Crocker, they have introduced a line of gluten free, fruit-flavored snacks for kids that are both healthy and too darn good if you ask me-Here is some information straight from their website:

"Betty Crocker Fruit-Flavored Snacks are a snack choice you can feel good about - they are made with real fruit and each serving is less than 100 calories! Now every kid can enjoy the simple joy of a fun, great tasting gluten free snack."

I was THRILLED to receive the package via the USPS the other day with the words 'MyBlogSpark' on it because I know right then and there that it's going to be quality! This time, I intercepted it before my dad could mistakenly rip it open with the preconceived notion that it was his(which is an ongoing battle between the two of us). You can see when I opened it I was not disappointed...

In this fun package deemed 'Simple Joys' , there was included:

• 2 Boxes of Betty Crocker Fruit-Flavored, Gluten Free Snacks
• A Retro Pick em' Up Sticks Game
• A Light Up Yo Yo(My personal favorite)
• A Classic Frisbe

Let me share with you a few secrets:

Secret #1: I have been playing with that yo yo every chance I get-I mean come on...It Lights Up!!

Secret#2: Between the 3 people that live in my household, those snacks were gone within 2 days (tops).

I can express all of those 3 people's opinions in one word: Yummy! They honestly didn't taste any different then the regular fruit snacks you could run out and get right now. I have yet to play with my Frisbe and pick-up sticks, but I'm just waiting for someone who will play with me :-)

I know-I need a life. Lol

There was one thing that I wasn't too thrilled about though: Even though the snacks were gluten free, they weren't high fructose corn syrup or dye free. For me personally, I like to go as organic and natural as I can. However, for a kids lunch or snack time, I have no qualms in saying that these will do the trick-Especially if your kids are gluten sensitive.
