Summer Fancy Food 2014 – BSCKids Bestie Awards

Fancy Food Show® #SFFS14

Klara’s Gourmet Cookies – The best coconut macaroon we have ever tasted…ever. These are high quality cookies with some gluten-free options as well.

Cheribundi – Are you a parent sick of all those sports drinks, but don’t know what else is out there for your kids? Wonder no longer as Cheribundi has put together a line of cherry products that will taste great for a variety of occasions. As our kids play a bunch of sports (swimming, baseball, soccer, etc…) this is a great tasting product that makes you feel better about bringing it along with you to sporting events for them. Check out the label of Tart Cherry Juice – Tart Cherry Juice, Apple Juice (From Concentrate), it doesn’t get any better than that. Cheribundi has brought a line of products that we must have stocked in the house at all times now.

Chuao Pop Corn Pop Chocolate – The milk chocolate is very high quality, but for us it was the popping experience that made this a must taste favorite for us. “…we’ve mixed puffed whole grains, toasted corn chips, popping candy and a sprinkle of sea salt in creamy milk chocolate.” A must try.

JC’s Pie Pops – It is like a gourmet Good Humor bar you might remember from your childhood, but then multiply that times 10 and you might get close to what JC’s Pie Pops are about. While they did not have all the flavors at the show, we are over here drooling thinking about Strawberry Cream, Banana Cream, oh heck every flavor they have.

Mediterra Nutrition Bars – Black Olives & Walnuts and Sundried Tomato & Basil were the flavors that we tasted and when your kid is complaining about all the sugary bars you have something different to give them. They are truly something different from your standard sweet nutrition bar and we enjoyed these flavors as well as the kids. Should you be in the mood for something that is sweet though they also have some of those as well.

HalfPops – Those perfect kernels that you find one each time you make popcorn are all brought together for a partially popped bag of goodness. They have a great crunch and one of our favorite all time products. They kids could not get enough of them and if we had to pick an overall show winner, this would be it.

Dang Coconut Chips – A sweet and savory snack chip that is a bit different but also delicious and healthier than other snacks. Caramel Sea Salt, Original and Unsweetened are the non-coated variety and we love the fact that you can get them in a snack size to throw in kids lunches or snack bags. The coated line has both Dark Chocolate and Greek Yogurt.

AlWheys Good – You know how hard it is to sometimes get your kids to eat a protein bar if you have been out all day or they are at a sporting event? Well, now think about how hard it is to get them to eat a cookie when you ask. Cookie with a little bit of whey protein

Belgian Boys – Mini Pancakes and Crepes – so here you are thinking to yourself they are just pancakes and crepes and that is where you made the mistake because Belgian Boys had one of the products that I actually ate a whole portion of and wanted to go back for more. Their crepes were absolutely fabulous and once your kids get a taste of the mini pancakes breakfast will be much easier for everyone around the table, and more tasty as well.

Veggie Fries – Kids love fries, but fries aren’t always the best snack out there for them. So, now add some extra fiber, protein, vitamins and take away some of the carbohydrates and sodium while still giving you that classic fry texture and you have Veggie Fries. They are a product you don’t feel so bad feeding your kids that they will eat right up.

Bantam Mini Filled Bagel Balls – They come from one of the great bagel places in the world (NY) and are filled with all sorts of stuff like pesto, veggie plain, butter maple syrup or chocolate chip cream cheese with many different bagel flavors. The Cookies & Milk product is a brown sugar walnut bagel with that chocolate chip cream cheese and it was yummy.
