My dogs have arthritis and have been more nimble, it has been easier for them to get up and down the stairs, and get to going from laying down since we've been using these. They love the flavor, even my picky dog devours them.

I have stopped eating most candies and the only candy left that I ate was Sour Patch Kids. But it gave me a weird allergic reaction after eating so much of it and when I looked up the ingredients I was appalled. They are absolutely TERRIBLE for you, containing cancer causing chemicals. So I sadly gave them up. But they still held a special place in my heart. After reading these reviews, I went and got some at Whole Foods today. And OMFG they are SOOO GOOD!!!!  now they aren't as sour as Sour Patch kids. They are only slightly tart, but you can actually taste the fruit in them. Its almost hard to believe something can be so good and not be completely terrible for you. I mean it DOES have 23g of sugar, but there are no mystery ingredients and I didn't feel like I was killing my body slowly while eating it.

After eating just one, I immediately knew what the reviews meant when they said that they are addictive. I bought two bags and I am forcing myself to not eat the second one right now.

Now, when it comes to spicy foods, my Texan family always considered me a wimp.  Of course, over the years I've come to enjoy a bit of bite - not too much, just enough to warm the palate.

The first time I tried one of these candies I chose the Mango Mamba flavor.  (I think the Lime Lambada might be a bit milder.)  After a few minutes I gave it up.  It seemed WAY too spicy for me.  The rest of my family, however, really enjoyed them; even the preschoolers loved them.

A few weeks later, I had an irritating cough and there was nothing in the house but these Hot Chili Pops.  So I tried them again.  This time my first one was the lime flavor.  YUM!  I've always preferred citrus flavored lollypops.  It was still a little spicy for my taste, but it was so delicious and worked so well to still my cough I didn't care.

Since then I've learned that the first lollypop you eat is the spiciest one.  By the second one I suppose that tastebuds must roll up the red carpet and lock the doors shut, because the chili zing only adds to the enjoyment of the pops.  This I find interesting, because usually when I eat spicy foods the heat increases the more I eat.  Not so with these, although I do notice that my tongue feels a little "raw" after enjoying a few.

Now, instead of buying these for everyone else in my family, I buy them for myself and they have to ask me where I've hidden them!  They're a little hard to find where I live, so I am very happy that I can buy them through Amazon.

I like to put some in a reusable container so they can easily be taken to work or as a convenient snack any time. These do seem expensive, but they're only a little bit more than what I like to pay for food. Consider that for about $17, you get 3840 calories; that's equivalent to $8.85 a day ($265.62/month) if you're on a 2,000 calorie diet and you only eat these. Please don't only eat these. Anyway, they taste really good and I'd highly recommend them!

I have two dogs. One will eat anything and I swear the other is the pickiest eater you will ever encounter. Buying treats that are healthy and satisfy them both is impossible. These are a winner! The moment I opened the bag both dogs came running-always a good sign and my picky eater ate the treat so fast I could not believe my eyes. I felt the smell was a little off putting, but the dogs' breath does seem to smell nicer. I will definitely be buying these treats regularly!

I wish I had discovered these a long time ago.  I am an adult who had a really bad habit of biting, I either constantly chewed gum, or chewed on my pen, or whatever was available.  I cut these into smaller chunks and use them at work.  It still feels like I'm chewing gum, but without the expense or sweeteners.  Obviously, I wouldn't recommend cutting them up for smaller children, but it saves me many pens in the office.  These things are very durable, and are tasteless.

These actually taste good! Yay! And I do feel full from breakfast to lunch! I mix mine with fat free milk and you would never know it is fat free!

These taste as good as mashed potatoes from scratch, and without any lumps.  My kids are pretty picky and they love these.  Add hot water and stir!  It doesn't get much easier than that.

Taste amazing! Works great! Easy to make, I use coconut oil because it's better for more lk supply as well. One batch and your going to see a difference!! Watch others in your house though, my husband and kids love them!

I purchased these, mainly for the listed (healthy looking) ingredients and hoped the taste would be OK.

Pleasant surprise, these things are delicious. Pretzel stick shaped rice crackers with sesame, and other nutty flavors, very, very, crunchy with little toasted seeds that are also crunchy, disclaimer; if you do not like crunchy these may not for you. I personally enjoy the heck out of them.

The price seemed a little high but compared to any other bagged snack I have found so far, Mary's is the best and well worth it.

The bags I received were 12 each, 7.5 ounce (212 g). These are not exactly diet snacks. A 30 g serving (about 15 sticks) contains about 5 g of total fat. Breakdown = .5 g Saturated (naturally occurring in the seed ingredients), 2.5 g Polyunsaturated, and 1.5 g Monounsaturated, 150 calories. Other notable facts; 300mg Sodium, 160mg Potassium, 4g Protein, 4g dietary fiber, 4% DV Calcium and 8% DV Iron. The package does state '550 mg Omega-3 fatty acids per serving'. The package also states; kosher, non-gmo, vegan, dairy free and gluten free.

I would recommend these, and I do also share freely with friends and family, no complaints so far.

enjoy!

My new favorite sugar free treat!!
I've been off sugar for almost 7 years, with very few exceptions. Have decided to get strict again and lose the rest of the pounds (already lost about 125, but stalled out) and I know that for ME, it helps me to have a small "treat" item. I have an evening ritual of hot herb tea and a sugar free treat. Been looking for something like these, that were NOT made with maltitol, and am delighted to have found them.

If you go to Dr John's website, you'll find that the candies were originally invented for his dental patients. And especially for children. Most of them don't use artificial colorants or toxic ingredients, and the parents appreciated that. It snowballed from there.

I'm not a hard candy kinda gal, so opted for these. Eating them with hot tea, they sort of slowly melt in my mouth. I bought this sampler pack, to try out all the flavors. Wow, love them all! The one I got from his website (I didn't even know Amazon sold them at that time) was this Caramel Lovers assortment:
Butterscotch - mild but delicious
Cafe Caramel - very nice
Vanilla Swirl - delicately flavored
Chocolate Swirl - yum, my fav

They are all sweetened with xylitol, and since it's only 1 gram per candy (and I never eat more than 2 or 3 at a time) there is no gastrointestinal disturbances for me. But the same amount of maltitol would have affected me horribly. So yes to Xylitol.

They are sugar free, gluten free, no artificial sweeteners, flavors or colors, and kosher, according to the website.
I ordered mine in the middle of summer, but they survived just fine. I emailed them to make sure it wasn't too hot to ship, and they said the caramels might be soft, but should be just fine, and would firm up once indoors. They were spot on!

Really, these taste "normal" to me, not like a diet product with a weird aftertaste. Mind you, I don't hardly ever eat sugar, so my taste buds might be more sensitive to sweetness now, but to me they taste just right. Sweet and mildly flavored, and very nice  and healthy treat that keeps me from feeling "deprived".

Husband loves the taste of these and he is a picky eater...also better than tobacco chewing or gum smacking all day!

Wow. Someone had raved to me about these noodles but I thought "They love all health food, I might not like them." Started a low carb lifestyle recently and cut out all carbs for the 1st few weeks....holy mackerel it's NOT EASY.  Really wanted to chow down on pasta, burgers, pretty much everything.
Brought these home today and was still skeptical. Guys, READ THE DIRECTIONS ON THE BACK---It clearly states that the smell will dissipate once you rinse the noodles under cold water. I added some stuff after heating them a bit, didn't dry them in a pan as directed...just used them like ramen noodles. Added spinach pesto, a hint of pink Himalayan Sea Salt and sliced ground turkey. YUM! That hit the spot and then some. Also, no bloating involved. Guilt free. Isn't that what we dream of? Im quite happy. Will buy again. Thanks for these. You helped my cravings. Try them out at least once.

While I am not gluten intolerant, I'm trying to reduce my gluten intake for health reasons and snacks seem to be the best way to to try and curb my intake. Since snacks of this type are not a dietary requirement (much as I'd wish they were) I have the ability to chose *any* cookie, gluten free or not, I am lucky in that I can afford to be a little picky. I had tried a few other weird/bland gluten free options and wow- these cookies really surprised me - the are actually very good! Crispy, no weird/off tastes, just like a "real" cookie. Nice size for dunking in a cold cup of lactose free milk without getting lost or soggy. I deducted one star because they could use a few more chips sprinkled in there.

They are a little expensive but I don't mind the price point considering that the factory goes to great lengths to protect against cross contamination from allergens and gluten. Plus being a little pricey I am less likely to eat more than one pack at a time :) I'm looking forward to trying the four flavor combo pack next time.

I ordered the sampler pack and totally loved all of them.  I found that when my stomach was upset, they help settle it. There were no after tastes at all. They all tasted very good and when I was craving something sugary or sweet, I would take of these and the craving would go away.  I am totally addicted to these and will buy them again.
