Snacks, snacks and more snacks! After this past weekend adventures, snacks are top priority when I'm packing for a day of activity in the outdoors with my children. I bring a variety snacks ranging from cheese, veggies to my "special treat" snacks, which I dispense at certain times during our outdoor adventures. This past weekend adventures was a complete success due to the constant steady flow of a variety of snacks to my little ones tummies.
Honey Stinger released their "Just for Kids" products last Summer 2013 and being familiar with the regular Organic Waffles for cycling, I was definitely interested in trying their kid snacks. Honey Stinger Kids' Organic Waffles were a great hit with my kids, so I was expecting nothing less from their second kid product.

The Pluses!
Easy to Chew ~ The Honey Stinger chews are very soft and easy to chew. I've had my share of "chewy" snacks where hours later they are still stuck on my teeth. Something I really don't want my children's sensitive teeth to deal with. The Honey Stinger Kids' Chews are very easy to eat and quite tasty too.
Convenient Snack ~ Whether on the trail or not, these chews are very convenient to dispense! I have two different categories of snacks: ones that we eat while taking a break from hiking/cycling etc and others that we can eat while hiking. The Honey Stinger Kid Chews were easy to keep in my pocket and hand out to my children to keep them moving along.
No Mess! ~ I don't mind messes, I actually like my kids getting dirty but I am not too fond of a chocolaty mess on my kids faces and hands mixing in with the dirt! Honey Stinger chews for kids keeps my hands and more importantly my kids hands and faces clean.
Tastiness ~ I don't like giving my children anything that I would not eat myself, so of course I had to take a little flavor test! My kids loved both flavors but my personal favorite was the mixed berry flavors. The sour citrus flavor isn't really "sour" but I like berry flavors over the citrus flavor. Not only are these chews tasty they have no artificial colors or flavors, preservatives, high fructose corn syrup, and trans fat or hydrogenated oils. One might think chews are just a "sugar rush" but sometime sugar rushes are good when an activity has no other option that to be finished! Why not be happy that it's organic!
The Minuses
None! No allergens in this product.
