Fruity Booty
After trying Veggie Booty, I was pretty excited to have Fruity Booty which is also made by Roberts American Gourmet. My expectations were high, since the manufacturer made a tasty treat out of seemingly unappetizing ingredients with Veggie Booty. Orange, cherry, papaya, mango, raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, pineapple, grape, and apple flavors found in Fruity Booty would almost certainly make for a better combination. Well, I was a little disappointed. It is not that they weren't good, they taste a little like Corn Pops® with a hint of fruity flavor, but only that I had was expecting something fantastic. Expectations aside, they are good and the kids liked them too. Unfortunately, as I later found, these are not nearly as popular as some of the other Roberts American Gourmet products and can be a bit hard to find. Too bad, because they are a good alternative if you like a fruity-but-not-too-sweet-taste and want to keep your snacks on the healthier side.
The Manufacturer Says:
