Goodies Co. started a monthly subscription service a few months ago which sends members sample (and often full-sized) packages of new snacks coming to market for review. They have expanded that service this month with a second subscription for kids, focusing on healthy snacks.

Most of the snacks in this months box were gluten free, which is fine for fruit snacks but didn't work as well in the chocolate chip cookies or graham crackers. I know kids who are allergic to wheat won't know what they are missing, but for the rest of us gluten-free cookies will always be a difficult sell.
