Here at The Creative Kitchen, we’re all about real food that’s really yummy! Especially when it comes to snacks for our little ones. It can be hard to find that perfect balance of great ingredients AND great taste, but lucky for you, we’ve found just that in a new product from Don’t Go Nuts. Their Mini Chewy Apple Cinnamon and Strawberry Granola Bars pack in a lot of flavor into a mini bar – using real ingredients – that’s perfectly sized for little chefs. We love that Don’t Go Nuts’ products are peanut-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free, certified non-GMO and USDA organic! The Mini Chewy Granola Bars are made with organic oats and organic brown rice crisps, as well as small pieces of organic fruit, giving them a soft, chewy texture that the whole family will love!

We were thrilled to have Don’t Go Nuts as a Goody Bag Sponsor for our Kids Food Festival online Halloween kitchen crafts and cooking class on October 31st!

From the Mouth of a Kid:

This tastes like a cookie!

From the Eyes of a Parent:

I love when I find school-safe snacks that my kids actually enjoy! Don’t Go Nuts Mini Chewy Granola Bars are peanut-free, tree nut-free, gluten-free, and dairy-free, so I feel safe sending them to school with my kids. The amount of flavor in these tiny bars is just amazing! The combination of dried apples and cinnamon is soooo good, and the flavor from the strawberries are just so bright and fresh. I love that their ingredients are organic and non-GMO, and the small (yet still hearty!) size makes these a perfect addition to lunchtime, or a quick, late afternoon snack to hold you over until dinner. 

Flavorful Features:

We love the Apple Cinnamon and Strawberry flavors, but Don’t Go Nuts Mini Chewy Granola Bars also come in Chocolate Chip and White Chocolate Chip – yum!

The Icing on the Cake:

The high-quality ingredients used in these granola bars speak for themselves (once you give them a taste, you’ll see!). We also love that they’re school-safe, free of many of the top allergens: tree nuts, peanuts, gluten, and dairy.

Every parent knows that a portable, tasty, and healthful snack is a lifesaver. The new Enjoy Life Foods Banana Caramel Grain & Seed Bar is just that!

We also love these treats because almost everybody can have them; they’re free of gluten, wheat, dairy, soy, sulfite, lupin, fish, crustacean, peanuts, tree nuts, casein, eggs, sesame, mustard, and shellfish!

From the Mouth of a Kid:

Wow, Mom! Are you sure this isn’t candy? It’s so sweet!

From the Eyes of a Parent:

Finding a bar that my kids really love and is healthy has been a challenge. It’s also difficult and expensive to buy different bars to fit every child’s allergy needs. That’s why these bars are so amazing. They really do taste like banana and caramel, so my kids think they’re sneaking a sweet treat. And, I don’t have to worry when giving them to my children and their friends because they’re free from ingredients that many children are allergic to. But the best part is that I love them, too! They’re a great snack in the middle of my work day.
