Overall Rating: 3.5/5
Summary: Kids will definitely enjoy these. The packaging is colourful and fun and the nuggets are bite-sized, perfect for little mouths. The flavour itself is *very* authentically strawberry, banana, or orange depending on the nugget. The issue I had was that they were really chewy and got stuck on my teeth a bit too much. I suppose kids don't worry about these things too much though. I'd recommend these candies over other similar types because of the *much* better ingredients.

So, most similar candies (gummy type candies) have modified ingredients, hydrogenated oils, high-fructose corn syrup, artificial flavours and preservatives, or other horrible ingredients. So this is a great option parents looking for healthier snack ideas that are kid-friendly.
