Sugar Free Ring Pop Review and Giveaway

Posted by Jenna | Wednesday, May 12, 2010



Although we don't eat a lot of candy around our house, it's always nice to have a treat once in a while. Who doesn't have a sweet tooth every now and then, right?! Since Kaelyn especially does not get a lot of it, she is quite tickled when it does happen. That's why I was excited to learn about the new Sugar Free Ring Pop.

When I first heard about the Sugar Free Ring Pop, I couldn't help but wonder if 'sugar free' meant that they would lose their yummy, sweet taste. I was happy when I learned I was going to have the opportunity to find out and review the three flavors: Watermelon, Strawberry, and Blue Raspberry.

When they arrived I think I was just as excited as Kaelyn to test them out. This was something I remember eating as a kid, and a candy she had never seen or tried before. She was thrilled to see that they were candy AND a ring! We each got one out to see what we thought. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I expected them to be rather bland, but they really didn't seem any different than candy with sugar....just as tasty! She really loved it too!

The nice thing about it is that I don't have to feel as guilty eating it, or giving it to Kaelyn, knowing that it's sugar free, has no fat, and is only 30 calories! It's really an ideal treat for kids. It's fun, tooth-friendly, and can be placed on their finger so it doesn't end up on the floor. I can see us using these as occasional treats, as well as on longer car rides since they last a long time.

I'm really happy to have been introduced to this sugar free, fun treat. It's something I could definitely see us buying more of for those special times Kaelyn gets candy.

Buy It: You can purchase the Sugar Free Ring Pop at Wal-mart Stores Nationwide.

    I would love to give these to my niece's little girl. She would enjoy a special treat! And knowing they're sugar-free is a big plus. Thanks!

    These would be for my 4 year old. He gets "paid" for cleaning his room and helping me with chores. His payment is small toys, special treats, or a piece of candy.
