I love a good energy bar to calm those 4 p.m. sweet cravings. But some bars I’ve tried are truly awful — fake-tasting or cloyingly sweet. So when I find one I love, I want to share the news! Enter these Salba Whole Food Bars that are so delicious! Fruity and sweet, but not overly so, with a little crunch from the super-healthy salba seeds, which studies show can help fight inflammation, lower blood pressure and manage appetite.

Every year I’m of two minds about Halloween — I want to give out fun candy because the kids love it, but I know it’s bad for them and their parents will toss a lot of it anyway (or eat it themselves!). Plus, with so many kids in my neighborhood, it’s expensive to buy enough for everyone. What’s a fun-loving but guilt-ridden and frugal mom to do?

That’s why I’m glad I found these YummyEarth lollipops on Amazon. They come in delicious flavors the kids will love (sour apple, blueberry, strawberry, grape, watermelon), and they’re organic, made without corn syrup or artificial dyes (they are fun tongue-staining colors though — they’re just colored with fruit extracts) and allergen free. I mean, they’re still candy — it’s not like giving out boxes of raisins (everyone avoided that house when I was a little trick-or-treater!) — but it feels less terrible for the kids. The best part? Amazon is selling a box of 150 for just over $15 — which means they cost about 10 cents apiece. Everybody wins!
