Review & Giveaway: Pirate's Booty Aged White Cheddar Snacks


 **Product was received in exchange for a honest review.**
Parents can swap sugar-laden candy treats for Pirate’s Booty, a deliciously baked, all-natural snack that kids love and moms can feel good about adding to the Halloween treat bowl!  Pirate’s Booty has less fat and fewer calories than traditional Halloween candy and zero grams of sugar.  Also, Pirate’s Booty is gluten, peanut and tree-nut free, so it’s safe for trick-or-treaters or classmates with these common food allergies.  Pirate’s Booty is made without trans-fats and ingredients you can’t pronounce.  Plus, the Pirate is already dressed for the occasion!  
This year, it will be easier than ever to pass out Pirate’s Booty, as Target and Super Target stores across the county will be offering special Halloween 20-packs of half-ounce, 65-calorie bags of Pirate’s Booty Aged White Cheddar.  The Halloween 20-packs of Pirate’s Booty will be available from mid-September through October. 

Our Thoughts
My little pirates LOVE Pirate's Booty. They come home from school "starving" - just ask them- and want a snack but by the time they get home from school dinner is only a hour away. With dinner being in a hour, I don't want them to have too much to eat because they will not eat if they have too much of a snack. These Pirate's Booty bags are only a 1/2 ounce -which doesn't seem like much- but the puffed white cheddar snacks fill them up just enough to get them through that hour. 

What I love, as a parent, most about these snacks is that they are baked, all natural and gluten free. I also love that they taste great and my guys love that they have their own little bag so there is no fighting over the bowls or who has more than the other. These also make great snacks to throw in their bag for during the school day or a snack to be sent when it's their special day to bring snack. With all the allergies that kids have to peanuts and other things, I have to say that these are a pretty safe bet as a classroom snack! We love Pirate's Booty in this house and think you will too!

    I see that I can buy these products online at amazon.com...because there are 'no locations within' my area that carry them! (which surprises me, because I'm pretty sure I've seen them at Weis or Giant before).
