Kids Of All Ages Will Love Sour Patch Cherries

By Dorothy Ross


Giving something special to a sweetie is what valentines day is all about. Although some recipients are satisfied with sweet treats, there is nothing wrong with thinking outside of the box. Instead of going with the usual box of chocolates or fruit dipped in chocolate, something different like sour patch cherries is something the recipient is likely to remember.

These are a combination of sweet, sour, and tangy in an intense berry flavor. While some may think of these as something for kids or teens, there are a lot of grownups ordering these by the dozens. One reason is, unlike chocolate, these have no fat and are low in calories. Parents and teachers of small children can also create a number of snacks for the little ones they love using these flavorful treats.

Truthfully, these are also low in calories so there is no need to sweat if a person has a handful or eats a small bag in one sitting. This is most likely why many nutritional supplements and certain medications are in gummy form. In recent, people have found they can have gummies as their multivitamin to help balance their meals. However, if a person is taking supplements to treat a chronic condition, they should consult a healthcare professional first.

Gummy candies are great for anyone watching their waistline or who need to monitor their health. In this instance, it is best to buy those brands not covered in sugar. Since most of these are already made with real fruit, too much of the white stuff can take away the natural taste.

Most people who like gummy candies say that sour is in a class of their own. These do not taste like the rare black cherry that is found at premium candy retailers. If a person likes to have their lips pucker after one taste, this is something worth trying. Some people say that the pucker effect kind of kills that annoying sweet craving that many people get from time to time.

Another great benefit to keeping these around is that they are easy to carry around. Unlike chocolate, these will not melt in the sun. Gummies are also great with other treats. Some parents like to create their own trail mix with healthy nuts, dried fruit pieces, and a few gummies for color. These recipes are great for long road trips, which is one of the times when kids can get cranky.

Small gummy candy bags are also great for teachers to give their students. These maintain their shape in different weather and the low sugar content is ideal for those who may have a weight issue. For kids that do not care to have fruit or protein as a snack, these are a nice alternative that does not cost a lot of money.

Bosses can give these to their employees as a good communicator. Attach a simple or funny note of appreciation and this is sure to spread positive energy throughout most work environments. Busy bosses may want to keep their own stash for late nights or when they want a little treat for the long hours.
