Fruitabu Smooshed Fruit Twirls would be my number one choice for my kids to receive for Halloween if they went trick or treating.  I wish these had been available back when my kids were small.  They are very similar to those roll up things but they are made with smooshed organic fruit. Grape is fantastic, but Strawberry and Apple are delicious too.  Fruitabu products contain 90 percent fruit and juice without artificial flavor, color or preservatives.  My son ate them when he arrived home from school everyday and my husband and I tried them and we enjoyed them also.  My daughter was disappointed when she came home from college and found almost nothing left for her. One twirl is a whole serving of fruit, and there’s a half serving in a fruit flat.  My daughter called the fruit flat a fruit jerky because of the way it looked, but she said she liked them and no they aren’t spicy like jerky, just flat.

 Fruitabu also has Smooshed Fruit Splooshers which are like applesauce in a tube.  When my son was young he came home and asked me to make sure I put a spoon in his lunch.  I asked what was wrong with using a cafeteria one and he replied that they don’t like having to give him a spoon when he is bringing a lunch and he has to wait until everyone in line has their food before they ask to have hands raised for utensils. With the Sploosher you can just eat the applesauce from the packaging by squeezing it into your mouth.  No spoon needed.  I think these are great treats, and I wouldn’t mind my kids having them after meals or as snacks after schools, but get those twirls for Halloween, they’re perfect.  Maybe you can swap Fruit Twirls for a less desirable candy, I’ll bet they’d do it. 

Fruitabu can be found at local stores like Kroger’s and Giant Eagle.
