My kiddies recently got to be testers for several different kinds of Pure Fun Organic Candy. It was a hard job but I think they managed to do just fine. ;) These candies are made exclusively in Canada and the US and have built a fine reputation for what is NOT found in their candy: NO Gluten, NO GMO’S, NO FD&C Colors, NO Casein, NO Dairy, NO artificial flavors, NO dyes, NO Synthetics, NO Pesticides, NO preservatives…nothing but Pure Fun.
BUT they do have good stuff IN them to: organic cane juice, organic brown rice syrup, and natural colors derived from great stuff like red beet concentrate, alfalfa extract, red cabbage, annatto, and other yummy fruits and vegetables.
So now that we have established that they are a pretty safe option as far as candy goes they also have many different flavors and candy types….fruit rocks, pure pops, fruit pinwheels, citrus slices, chocolate meltdowns, candy canes, and root beer barrels, to name a few. Honestly I will admit I was not a huge fan of the flavor…I am not real big on candy, especially hard candies anyway but these tasted a little “off” to me. My kids, however, noticed nothing and were happy to eat them. They didn’t go nuts on them either…they just had one or two a day, so it seemed they were better able to self regulate on these.
If you are giving away candy for Halloween these would be good but a bit pricey for that. They would also be good for pulling a switcheroo on your kids Trick or Treat baskets…maybe grabbing a handful or two of snickers and peanut butter cups and throwing these in there instead.
Here is to a greener, healthier Halloween!
