Both my boys are in elementary school (or they will be, once the strike ends!) and my daughter is in daycare full-time, so that means there are three lunches to pack every weekday. The boys are actually really good at packing their own lunches now, but they still need ideas from me, and sometimes I struggle with what to suggest for them. They love peanut butter, but that won’t do for school lunches. Luckily, they also love Wowbutter soy spread as a substitute for peanut butter, so we often pack bagels or sandwiches made with Wowbutter. That’s why I was excited to learn that Dare has now introduced their Bear Paws and Wagon Wheels featuring Wowbutter!

They come in three tasty flavours:

• Bear Paws Morning Snack Wowbutter and Strawberries
• Bear Paws Minis Chocolate Chip & Wowbutter
• Wagon Wheels Wowbutter

It was no surprise to me that all three of the kids absolutely loved these snacks. Bennett said the Wagon Wheels tasted a little like S’mores, which are his favourite treat right now because of our summer camping trips.  Cole also liked the Wagon Wheels a lot, while Ayla was drawn to the Bear Paws, especially the mini ones with chocolate chips.

These snacks are all baked in Dare’s nut-free, peanut-free facility, so you can feel confident sending them to school, daycare, or any place where there may be children with serious nut allergies. And thanks to the addition of Wowbutter, they still have a great nutty flavor that kids (and grown-ups) will love.
