My kids don’t eat candy…..well, they very rarely eat candy. The rarely is for the potential stalkers who will happen to see one of my kids with some sort of candy in their hand. Then they will yell at me that I am LIAH because I said my kids never eat candy when really I said they rarely do and it will get ugly and I’ll have to snap them with my redheaded temper sarcasm. So, yeah, lesson learned for you, too. Once you write it for the world to see, you better be following through and talkin the talk.
When I do happen to bring candy into our home, it’s usually chocolate because…..I don’t really need to share a reason for that, do it? It’s obvious right? Good! Glad we agree on that! Okay, so I sometimes buy gummy bears or jelly beans from my favorite organic and natural company, but on a recent visit I happened to see some lollipops that caught my eye. Now, for the record, I am not a lollipop lover. They are kind of boring to me, but I know that little kids love them. And I had little kids coming to visit so I wanted something fun for them, but approved by me. Enter Yummy Earth Organic Fruit Lollipops! Of course I scrutinized the wrapper looking for the bad stuff that just has to be in all lollipops. Unless you consider being colored and flavored with organic apples, carrots, or pumpkin bad stuff, then there was nothing wrong with these treats. If anything, there was a whole lot that was right! Let me share from the package:
-
Gluten Free
-
Certified Organic
-
No Artificial Dyes
-
100% Natural Flavors
-
Real Fruit Extracts
-
No Corn Syrup
-
Casein-Free
-

Now, you might be asking, how can they possibly taste good, especially to a child, without any of all that stuff in them? Let me tell you, I tried them (strictly for the sake of this review-of course), and they are yummy. My favorite was the Pomegranate Pucker! Isn’t that a cute name, by the way? The others included in the package were Mango Tango, Tooberry Blueberry, and Wet-Face Watermelon. The kids did love these, too, and kept coming back for more! Yay! Success with better-for-them treats is the best feeling ever!
Okay, you twisted my arm, darn it! Just for fun, I am going to give away a 3oz. package of the Yummy Earth Organic Lollipops which includes 15 lollipops in the package. Simply because I love them so much and, really, because I love all of you even more. Here’s what you have to do to enter:

I would love these for my kids because they DO like candy, tho I don't let them have it often. We are trying to be more organic and I would love to try these to see if they like them. Thank you for the giveaway!
