Here at The Creative Kitchen, we find that “less is more” rings true for a lot of foods and products, especially those we feed to our children. With Dino Bars, less artificial flavors plus less added sugars equals happy parents AND happy tummies! Dino Bars are a unique, plant-based snack that the whole family will love, and not just because of the taste and high-quality ingredients. These fruit leather-like bars are wrapped in edible paper; yes, you read that correctly! Edible paper! How cool (and eco-friendly) is that? Using only all-natural ingredients, Dino Bars are proof that you don’t need to sacrifice quality for taste!
