\u201cMommy, I want a snack!\u201d \u201cMommy, I need a snack!\u201d \u201cMommy, can I have a snack, please?\u201d \u201cI\u2019m soooooo hungry, mommy!\u201d<\/p>\n
If you saw us out in public, you might believe that I never feed my kids by the way they are always asking for food. But, if you have young kids, or if you haven\u2019t yet fully repressed the less-endearing memories from when your children were preschoolers, you know that snack management is at least 50 percent of your parenting responsibility at that age.<\/p>\n
Snacks are essential to mom life. Bonus if the snacks are quick and relatively healthy. But, just like adults, kids get bored with the usual options, which is why finding something new is exciting for all of us. Enter the new Skippy P.B. Fruit Bites.<\/p>\n
![\"Skippy](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Skippy-P.B.-Fruit-Bites-Strawberry-and-Grape-2.jpg?resize=550%2C550&ssl=1\" "\\"Skippy")
<\/p>\n
Skippy P.B. Fruit Bites are available in two varieties, grape and strawberry. They feature fruit-flavored centers with a Skippy peanut butter-flavored coating and are advertised as \u201cportable, pop-able snacks.\u201d They resemble yogurt or chocolate covered raisins in size and texture. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
We tried the Grape bites first as I was curious to know how a \u201cdried grape center\u201d would differ from a raisin center. The answer is that it tasted like dried grape flavored bubble gum. I think a full raisin, and not a manufactured dried grape, would have resulted in a snack that more closely resembled a peanut butter & grape jelly sandwich.<\/p>\n
The textures of the peanut butter coating and the fruit center did not blend well and were distinctly obvious in each bite. The grape-flavored center was artificial and not fruity tasting at all. Each bite tasted like a piece of cheap, old grape-flavored candy and oily peanut butter powder. I did not feel compelled to eat more than a few and couldn\u2019t even pawn them off on my hungry, snack-loving kiddos.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The strawberry P.B. Fruit Bites were a different story, though. The Skippy Peanut Butter coating had the iconic Skippy flavor, slightly sweet with a smooth and creamy peanut flavor. The coating melded well with the fruit center and did not disintegrate into separate pieces like its grape counterpart.<\/p>\n
The fruit center tasted more authentic than the grape one, with natural strawberry flavor (in the form of a cranberry). It was more convincingly fruit than just \u201cfruit flavored.\u201d This matters when you\u2019re trying to convince yourself, as a parent, that your kids\u2019 snacks have some value other than to buy a few minutes of peace and quiet. <\/p>\n
Overall, I liked the strawberry P.B. Fruit Bites enough to add them into the snack rotation, but not as a regular addition. At over $3 for a small bag of bites, they are too pricey for an everyday snack but will be an occasional sweet treat. <\/p>\n
