Yay: Just Mango Slices

Just Mango Slices are a rare find in the world of dried fruit because they are unsulfered (no preservatives) and unsweetened (not coated in sugar). They are literally just dried mangoes. If you live in an area with limited access to tropical fruit, these leathery strips of tasty sweetness fulfill a void. Even if you have daily access to fresh mango, these are a great, Vitamin A rich snack for any time.

Nay: Vegetable Birds Nests

These look much better in the packaging photo than they do after cooking them. In fact, eating the box packaging would be preferable to eating this soggy, flavorless "veggie" appetizer. The nests each allegedly contain zucchini and carrots, but most of the nests were a small lump of onions with a morsel of carrot and/or zucchini. The onion flavor completely overwhelms any other flavors, and the crunchy panko-like topping seen in the packaging is merely a soggy dusting of stale crumbs.

Yay: Gummy Bears

These sweet candies are a great alternative to traditional gummy bears. If you are looking for a more natural, preservative-free and dye-free candy snack, these are a great choice! They are made with all natural fruit and veggie extract, which makes them a little softer and less dense than standard gummy candies, but they are not as soft as a fruit snack. There are six flavors in every bag: strawberry, apple, orange, lemon, pineapple and cherry. Because the flavoring is all natural, it is not as strong as regular gummy bears, but they are just as gummy and yummy!

Yay: Yogurt Stars

These crispy, yogurt covered cookies are a delicious mix for the palette that will satisfy any sweet tooth. Small, start-shaped vanilla cookies are coated in three different yogurt flavors (raspberry, blueberry or vanilla), giving them a tangy crunch. The best part is these cookies do not use artificial food coloring. The yogurt coating does melt quickly, so these are best enjoyed cold.
Have you tried these cookies?
