Dare Candy Company makes Parents Choices Easier
Dare Candy Company is a Canadian, family-owned company with a 120-year history of providing Canadians with the quality products that make every snacking, entertaining and lunchbox occasion better. The company was a pioneer in offering peanut-free food solutions, and continues to develop delicious new cookies, candies, fruit snacks, crackers and fine breads to satisfy the changing needs of Canadian families. Key brands include Breton, Bear Paws, RealFruit, Whippet, Simple Pleasures, Boulangerie Grissol and Wagon Wheels.
Our Family have enjoyed Dare brands for years so we were excited to try out their newest product; REALFRUIT Berries, Gummies and Chews. I was interested in seeing what a candy made with real fruit juice, natural fruit flavours and no added colours, gluten or gelatin (no animal products) tasted like. The consensus was unanimous — Amazing.
After The Kids had their first taste, they both started singing the song “if all the raindrops were lemon drops and gum drops, oh what a rain it would be”. I used to sing this song to them all the time but haven’t for at least a year. The gummies were so soft and chewy yet didn’t get stuck in your teeth. Just the way I like them. Clearly The Kids were fans and so was I.
Even though The Kids don’t have nut allergies, Ed does and I appreciated that two of the three products were made in Nut-free facilities. Two of them also have 0 fat and sodium. The best part is that if I only eat half of the servings (up to 6 candies!) they only count as one snack for me (11 carbs).
If you’re looking for the perfect portable snack that comes in individually wrapped packages, that the kids will love, has real fruit juice in it and comes in raspberry, lemon, orange, cherry, strawberry and blueberry flavours than look no further than Dare Candy REALFRUIT Berries, Chews and Gummies.

I was hoping for a cookie recipe but they didn’t have one. But I suppose it wouldn’t be that hard to create a cookie featuring Dare Candy sweets. So I choose No-Baked Chocolate Squares that totally look like fudge squares and that makes it interesting.
Dear J,
I like how creative you are. Let me know if you make them and need any testers…

We have family traditions but as the kids have gotten older they have sort of faded away for us.

Thank you! 🙂
