Beech-Nut's Mini Waffles with Hidden Veggies were recently introduced for kids ages 12 months and up, and they share the benefits of nutritious ingredients with every bite. The mini waffle snacks can be found in varieties like Pumpkin, Apple & Cinnamon, as well as Butternut Berry.
These veggie-infused mini waffles for toddlers help to encourage self-feeding and they serve as a healthier alternative to cookies, biscuits, bars and other handheld sugary treats. Toasted with real fruits and vegetables, these at-home and on-the-go waffle snacks are low in sugar and they make it easy for young ones to get more experience with eating solid foods. These mini waffles join Beech-Nut Nutrition Co's snack portfolio, which also includes minimal-ingredient melties with probiotics.
