Our wish is to provide healthful snacks for our children-low sugar (except for birthday cupcakes) and non-allergenic. Avoid chocolates, artificial coloring and flavoring. In some children sugar and artificial ingredients cause hyperactivity. Many pediatricians consider peanuts for children under five "choke food", so we have removed peanuts from the following list. Allergic reactions to peanuts, peanut butter and nuts tend to be severe therefore please NO PEANUT BUTTER.
