Soft and chewy. But they will not melt like a candy bar will. They are safe therefore for backpacking in hot weather: no melt!

The bars are soft and chewy, some of them have tiny bits of nuts in them but not large pieces. Hope that helps!

I don't think I would give them to a child under three. The nuts can be big enough to choke a toddler, IMHO

I eat these almost every day and once in a while there is a whole or nearly whole almond in the bar. Therefore, I wouldn't give it to a 2 year old, I think it's too much of a choking hazard.

They're hard chew sticks. Not as hard as a bully stick but definitely not soft. I would compare them to chewing a carrot.

They are not crunchy. Not really soft either. I would say "pliable" like taffy.

They are kinda like a hard chewy... But I wouldn't get them if I were you. I ordered 3 boxes by mistake, tried to call to send them back and get a refund and they refused... Oh and I only used 3 and on 3 separate days not one of them worked even the slightesy

They are not real hard sort of on the soft side and the inside is soft but not gueey. Plus they are small so they should have no problems. My 19 year kitty even loves getting the treats. She doesn't have a lot of teeth and has no problem eating them either.

They are semi-hard, not too hard and not too soft like gummies. They have a delicious chew, give them a try you won't regret it.

these are a bit crunchy...would not recommend for a pup with few teeth..the Milos brand is pretty good and most of those treats are soft...hope this helps

I have no idea why would it state that , maybe it is some kind of requirement(for example, baby head band can be used by babies under adult supervison, but if left unattended can pose a choking hazard! ) I got these for my seven month old at the time and now1 year later It is still one of the best toys she has! She is no longer chewing them, but now can stack these blocks or is looking at all the sides picturing different animals and textures as she can recognize most of them. Next step would be to learn to squeeze blocks to make them squeak. I don't see how it is hazard. Blocks are 2x2 in made of sturdy but flexible material. The only thing perhaps, if older child could bite some piece off, which would be quite challenge but not impossible.

Hi Jingyao, these are the dried crunchy type, but sometimes I'll put them in my morning hot oatmeal and they will soften up. I'm not sure how they would do in a home baked good, but I think they would soften up also.

They are crunchy treats. They do break apart pretty easily and you would be able to crumble them but they are not soft.

They are not round but not scratch you skin sharp. I have a almost 3 yr. old and 1 yr old and neither of them have been injured by them. I mean they are blocks so if they are thrown hard the cornes could do damage. But I would say they are the nicest blocks you could find. I was unsure of the price,but I am very pleased. Walmart sells a set of 16 blocks the brand is Garanimals and they are like $9 the have animals and colors and shapes on them,maybe try those first?? ot sure how old your kids are,but those blocks are also very nice and not sharp :)

My daughter chewed them fine but she is also 7 when I started her on them. That's such a big age difference I wouldn't know if 18 months is old enough. Maybe call them and ask for a free sample. Hugs and luck...

I'm not sure how to explain it. It's soft, as in there is no "crunch" sound, but it's not extremely soft, as in it still requires some chewing. I hope someone else can explain it better. They could easily break in half to accommodate your fur baby a little better. Two of my three cats will eat this brand. The one who won't eat it hates soft treats.

I put them in oatmeal health bars or use them like you would raisins. Put them with seeds and nuts in granola. I like them plain but they soften when you use them in a recipe that has mashed banana or applesauce.

My cat didn't like them either. I think they are too big and too hard. No help here! I switched to the VETOQUINOL Enisyl-F Lysine Treats Foil Pouch, 180gm. They are still hard, but smaller and must taste better. She gobbles them right up.

I never have had this problem in almost a year's ordering. I do get them from Bariatric Advantage and you should check the expiration date, but if they are hard, then I would write directly to them (or better yet, call) and nicely ask for a replacement bag as your bag is inedible. They are a big enough company I'm sure they would be happy to help you. Yes, they should be soft and chewy. I do keep mine in a plastic container after opening the bag to help preserve freshness for the month's supply (and I only order one month at a time). Good luck! I love mine!!

I've never had what I consider 'hard' torrone; I guess these would be considered soft. They are small rectangles, solid enough to hold their shape, but certainly not crunchy or brittle.
