they look like the sort of thing that would have our kids bouncing off the nearest ceiling. But they're very kind to sponsor SN so I shall stuff ds2 and ds3 full of them

They are definately gluten free, natural flavourin and rice flour ... just read the box.

They are about the only thing DD eats that doesn't have her bouncing off the walls.

Fruit.

Pure n simple.

The apricot stix is 55% dried apricot, dried pear (sulphur dioxide preservative), natural flavouring, and a dusting of rice flour.

For the other flavours, substitute 55% apricot with apple, banana etc.

DD seems to love em too which is handy... although this is the freak child who will swap sweeties for raisins (much to the delight of my godchildren )

what a shame I can't get them here - the fruit sticks you can buy here seem to have sooo much sugar in them. trying to weaken dd's sweet tooth!!
