Don’t overlook the fruity flavors of Halloween

welchsBy Ruth Ferguson, NDG Editor

Yes we all enjoy chocolate at every opportunity, but a different option to serve your favorite Trick or Treater this Halloween is Welch’s Fruit Snacks. In fact this year they are offering Halloween-themed box and pouch have custom Halloween-themed graphics with fun shapes which include a bat, witch, ghost, haunted castle, and pumpkin, and are perfect for trick-or-treating, lunchbox treats or office parties. The tasty better-for-you treats are a great alternative to the overflowing chocolate and candy options. I could not wait until Halloween to enjoy the handful of sample packages I received, they provide a tasty flavor boost when the mid-afternoon lull hits.

I enjoyed all three samples they provided by favorite was the Fruit Roll-ups which really sparkled with it’s fruity flavor. Younger fans will likely get more of a kick out of the Gushers brand because it does offer an explosion of flavor.

Trick or Treaters will enjoy either the Welch’s Fruit Snacks or the Fruit Roll-ups from General Mills in their candy bucket Friday night — or in their lunch bag next week!
