FTC Disclosure: Yippee! I received fruit snack samples and discounted Halloween lights. Opinions shared are mine.

We don’t spend a lot of time trick-or-treating on Halloween because *shocker* my kids don’t really eat a lot of candy. Now, mashed potatoes — we can put it away. But candy tends to go to waste around here. My husband wants to hand out the Welch’s Fruit Snacks we received, but NO WAY, MAN. We’re going to eat those!

He has a point, though. These fruit snacks are super tasty and would be welcome at school for snack time (as opposed to the candy-encased gum lollipops that I’ll probably find all over my classroom floor on Friday.) I love that the tiny pouches are so portable, too.
