Fruit snack strips have stayed frozen in time, sticking to the same chewy format while so many other categories evolved around them, but Little Spoon's Fruit Puzzlers promise to delight kids and parents alike with their clean ingredients and playful form. Every individually wrapped Fruit Puzzler can be pulled apart and put back together, giving little fingers something fun, and made of real fruit, to play with.
Peel-and-eat Fruit Puzzlers launched in varieties like Mango Fruit, Peach Fruit and Mixed Berry Fruit, with ingredient lists that avoid GMOs and junk, and no allergens to note. A pack of 10 promises to provide plenty of nourishment to tuck into school lunchboxes, backpacks for after-school activities, sports bags for practice, and travel bags.
