Let me start by saying I've tried EVERY 'healthy' kids' snack out there, and these BEAR Fruit Minis genuinely surprised me. The raspberry/blueberry combo tastes like someone pureed real berries and gently baked them into these adorable paw-shaped leathers (yes, they're more leather-like than gummy - adjust expectations accordingly!).

The texture is divisive - some kids love the slightly grainy fruit leather feel, while others used to squishy gummies might need an adjustment period. My 3-year-old now does a happy dance when she sees the paw prints, but it took a few tries to win her over from sugar-loaded alternatives.

Major wins: NO added sugar (shocking how sweet they still taste!), non-GMO, and those perfectly portioned 0.7oz packs that prevent snack-time meltdowns. I stash them everywhere - diaper bag, car console, even my work purse for emergency hunger situations.

Now the not-so-great: At nearly $1 per tiny pack, these hurt my wallet more than my kid's picky eating habits. Also a serious warning - while marketed as toddler-friendly, the thin pieces can stick together and pose a choking risk if not properly supervised (always break them apart first!).

Final verdict? A solid B+. Healthier than 90% of kids' snacks out there with clean ingredients you can actually pronounce. Just wish they'd make the packaging reflect the actual snack quantity inside - feels unnecessarily wasteful.
