Need something small and cheap for kids when they need a little treat. Needs to be individually wrapped, ideally safe for toddlers, and shelf stable.
Dum dums are small and cheap, but there are a lot of chemicals I'd prefer to avoid. Yum Earth pops are great but they are kind of expensive and I'm wondering if there are other alternatives. It doesn't need to be a candy specifically, I'd be okay with wafers or pretzels or something but those aren't cheap either.
I'm okay with sugar (it's a treat) but prefer no food coloring at the least.
Any ideas?

In case his helps, the yum earth pops are .15 each on Amazon now with the coupon on the page. I'm not sure you'll find anything individually wrapped for cheaper.

-Fruit Leather
-Made Good has some good flavors of granola bars- chocolate drizzled, etc. and they go on sale sometimes
-Riice bars - they go on sale for 3/$1 every now and then
Also do healthier food here, and a lot of the healthier food is expensive, such as drizzlicious, kind bars, healthier chips, etc.

Not sure which ones, but I found the 250 pack for $40 with subscribe and save. It's a decent price per pop but $40 on lollipops is !!!
You're probably right, it's the best option. But hard when a bag of dum dums is a little over $5 for 65!

The regular jewish supermarkets are full of such treats now.
I can list so many that have minimal ingredients
Look at ingredients.
You can get in Costco and traders joe also. And those fruit leathers from amazon.

I don't live in a frum area. I have someone who can bring sometimes, but I need to make an order online for them and can't pick up bags to look at ingredients.
I also can't get to a TJs or Costco easily, but if you have specific ideas I might make the effort.

Any ideas? | Quality chocolate is a lot healthier than the high fructose food coloring junk. Not super cheap, though. And safer for toddlers than taffies or hard candies. Also better for their teeth because melts away.
