Raisels (An Alternative to Candy) Review and Giveaway

February 22, 2011

Are your kids craving sweets and you want a healthier alternative than candy? Raisels might be just what you are looking for. They taste like candy, but are 100% real fruit snacks.

I recently received a box full of Raisels from Team Mom and Raisels. They have gone over like hot cakes in our house. I figured they would since my kids love Sour Patch Kids and raisins and that’s exactly what Raisels taste like.

Raisels are golden raisins that come in four fabulous flavors including Sour Apple, Sour Orange, Sour Lemon and Sour Peach and coming soon – Sour Watermelon. They can be found in the grocer’s dried fruit section of your store or at even at Amazon, Walgreens, Target and Dollar General.

My kids have been taking them to school nearly every day for snack, and have been sharing them with their friends. They love them too and wonder where they can get them. I’ve been enjoying them as a curb for my sweet tooth.

Although they are sweet, I don’t feel guilty letting my kids (and myself) indulge a bit since they are rich in antioxidants, fat free, cholesterol free, and have 100% of the recommended daily allowance for Vitamin C. Plus they have 19 less times the sugar of Skittles. You can Check here for more information on Raisels and you can check them out on Facebook too.

Now for the giveaway. One Lucky Person will win a big box of Raisels in a variety of flavors.
