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: Dark Chocolate Mint Creams

I stumbled across these little delights the other day and couldn't be happier to have found them.

They're like Junior Mints, but I almost like them better because they're a little sturdier and are less likely to turn into a jumbled mess of sugar.  

These have a nice thick chocolate outer, and a creamy mint center (hence the name of the product).
I've been keeping mine in the fridge and they're really refreshing to snack on during these hot summer nights.

They're also Gluten Free and Vegetarian which is nice for people who have dietary restrictions.

So next time you head to the movies, instead of buying some overpriced box of melted Junior Mints at the theater, stop off at Trader Joe's first and grab a container of Mint Creams.
