Treat Brands

MIL likes to give C a treat every time she sees him.  (Think Little Debbie, $1 store garbage, etc).  DH breeched the subject (again) that we don't want him eating that garbage.

What brand treats could someone find in a regular grocery store that are a little healthier?  Or even what would you recommend?

We want to just give her a list.  I don't mind him getting treats, but I would rather it not be some of the worst over-processed crap.

    How about that Nature's Promise brand that Giant sells? Organic, affordable, junk-free.

    Clif Bar "Z" Bars for kids (Honey Graham, Choc. Chip, S'Mores) No processed sugars, has protein and vitamins, and they're yummy!

     Frut'a'Bu fruit snacks and rolled fruit--made with real fruit and no corn syrup

    Earth's Best Organics sells Sesame Street-themed cookies and such

    I got a gigantic container of organic animal crackers at costco for $7 or $8.  We still haven't gone through them.  There are some yummy organic (or all natural) cookies that starbucks sells - kind of like shortbread (really buttery) - they come two to a package and I know I've seen the brand other places... just can't recall the name. 

    Graham crackers w/ nutella? Or just cinnamon graham crackers? Some kind of organic/healthyish cold breakfast cereal?  All natural fruit gummies?

    If you have a Target near your their Archer Farms brand has some good organic treats.  DS loves their fruit bars and freeze-dried fruit.

    I was going to suggest this as well. I buy their organic fruit leathers occasionally. They also sell Annie's brand, so you could suggest the honey or chocolate chip bunny crackers or the bunny fruit snacks.

    If you are near a Giant I love their Organic section and have tried lots of the treats in there for DS and myself.  There is Barbara's Vanilla animal crackers which are addictive as all get out.  DS also liked Newman's Own Alphabet Cookies.  Frut-a-bu is great and DH even loves them.  We also do Annie's Bunnies and fruit snacks.  And Nature's Promise Vanilla Cookies from Wal-Mart.  I haven't tried any of the Archer Farms stuff yet from Target because I haven't ventured over to their grocery section since we moved out here.  I go to Wal-Mart or the commissary here because they're closer.
