Fooducopia Nature'z Candy Review & Giveaway





I love fruit. All kinds of fruit, it every flavor, shape, and variety you can think of. My kids...not so much.   I practically have to force feed them a banana or apple after dinner at night. And I have to wonder if they don't just throw away any fruit I send them in their lunch bags. But now I have a great way to get them to eat three servings of fruit a day and they think they're just eating a cool new treat.  And I owe it all to Fooducopia and Nature'z Candy.



For our review, we were sent a few different packages of Nature'z Candy dried fruits to try out.  And I was as suprised as the kids in that old Mikey commerical from back in the 80's when my kids LOVED them.  They aren't usually open to trying new things and they've never had dried fruit before. But these are no ordinary dried fruits. Their cool combinations add a zing that would impress anyone's taste buds. The coconut covered bananas were unanimously voted as our favorites, but the Cimmamon Applez and  even the plain Applez and Pearz are sweat treats that are a healthy alternative to candy and cakes.  All of the Nature'z Candy products are made with only  fruits and other natural ingredients. There is no sugar added and no preservatives.





Nature'z Candy is only one example of dozens of tasty items you can find at Fooducopia. They are like an online version of a corner marketplace where dozens of vendors are selling their unique and original foods.  They bring all the best products together in one location to save you the trouble of having to leave your home or scour the internet. You can find baked good, chocolates, pasta, oils, jams and more.  Check out their video to learn more about what they can offer.










One lucky winner is going to receive a selection of Nature'z Candy products to try for themselves.
