Valentine's Day offerings usually consist of a card and a treat, so the Welch's Valentine's Day Fruit Snacks have been created to help offer youngsters an easier option to choose this holiday. The limited-edition snacks feature heart-shaped real fruit gummies that come packaged in individual servings that are each emblazoned with themed graphics on the pouch. The product also features a To/From label on the outside of the package to let kids write the names of friends and loved ones before handing it to them as a token of love for the holiday.
The Welch's Valentine's Day Fruit Snacks come in 28-count packs and are available for purchase at Target as well as from Walmart.com in a 32-count size option.
