Sat and I are in love.  I don’t know when it happened exactly, but it happened at first site.  Or rather taste.  I love fruit snacks – they are a super quick snack that hits the sweet and fruit spot.  After eating the Safeway brand of fruit snacks for a while we just got bored.  The kind that we liked were often out of stock on the shelves and if they weren’t on sale were super expensive.  So we decided to look around for another vegan fruit snack (they are kind of hard to find – many of them have gelatin in them).

Low and behold, or rather, high and behold, on the top shelf was a new brand of fruit snacks, Au’some Fruit Nuggets, made by Florida’s Natural and they are vegan!  They have a really visible list of “frees” – lactose free, gelatin free, gluten free, etc.  And they are also made from 66% real fruit juice.  I know, not 100%, but it is better than the Safeway ones.

When we first opened the box we were really surprised.  The packages were TINY!  We thought we got ripped off – but then you open them and  even more surprizes.  The snacks were tiny – and hard.  They were like the chiclets version of fruit snacks – little, hard, and chewy.  But they are AU’SOME!  It is like the fruit EXPLODES in your mouth – you have got to try them.  And if you don’t like them, send the rest of the box to me.  ;)

We have had better luck finding them at Target than Von’s (Safeway).  The box in the picture above is not the kind that is marketed in the US – I couldn’t find a picture of one and am too lazy to take a picture of ours.
