Cookies: Enjoy Life Soft Baked Snickerdoodles

Loving Wegmans! Last week we found Enjoy Life's Soft Baked Snickerdoodle cookies. These are gluten free, vegan, kosher, contain no trans fat and no artificial anything. But what they do contain is unparalleled cookie delight. We almost drove off the road they were so amazing!

Gluten free, soft, buttery and with a hint of caramel and cinnamon, we couldn't stop until they were gone! They look like small molasses cookies- round and with a slight indent in the bottom- but that's where the similarities end.

I can't keep them in the house if Rob knows about them.

Energy Bar: Enjoy Life Caramel Apple Snack Bars

Another product we gave a taste test to was Enjoy Life's Caramel Apple snack bars. These bars are nut and gluten free, contain no trans fat and "no artificial anything". They purport to be free of all common allergens while maintaining their "soft and chewy" taste.

The bars definitely look appetizing on the box package- but perhaps look a bit (okay a lot) different in real life. Actually they resemble caramel-colored logs and are considerably smaller. But on first bite, I wasn't really disappointed. The snack bars are soft and chewy and have a nice bite to them.
They most certainly do resemble apples and cinnamon and have sweet yet smooth finish.

Yeah- they aren't bad at all! And not just because they are gluten free. They really do taste good. Yup, I'll be buying these again for sure.

Ingredients:
Organic brown rice syrup; organic evaporated cane juice; brown rice flakes; brown rice flour; sorghum flour; dried apple (sulfite-free); sunflower seed butter (roasted sunflower kernel, evaporated cane juice, salt); fig paste; date paste; vegetable glycerin; expeller-pressed vegetable oil (safflower oil and/or sunflower oil); organic beet fiber; ground flaxseed; natural caramel flavor; xanthan gum; baking soda; salt; cinnamon.

Made in a dedicated nut and gluten free facility.

Enjoy Life: Not Nuts- Nut Free Trail Mix

Not Nuts Nut Free Trail Mix by Enjoy Life was a spontaneous buy on our part. Nuts are generally what we stop for while gassing up on the road. But this was a sensation of the taste buds we were not expecting!

Containing no nuts, no dairy, no soy and no gluten, and made in a dedicated gluten free and nut free facility, you might wonder how Not Nuts might taste. Well wonder no more. This stuff is packed with flavor! Yes it could be the chocolate chips (containing evaporated cane juice, chocolate liquor, and non-dairy cocoa butter), that makes Not Nuts so addictively delicious-but I'm not sure.

And that's just what it was- completely addictive. My celiac, Rob could barely contain himself long enough to allow me enough to write the review! Really, Not Nuts had just the right amount of salty, sweet zing amongst the array of sunflower kernels, pumpkin seeds, raisins, cranberries and chocolate bits.

Plus you can't beat Enjoy Life's obvious devotion to creating "allergen free" foods. The package reads "This product is gluten free and free of the 8 most common allergens: wheat, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, egg, soy, fish and shellfish. Also made without other common triggers of intolerance: corn, sulfites, casein or sesame."

If you are looking for a nutritious and delicious snack, this one is a go!

Ingredients:
Raw sunflower kernel; roasted hulled pumpkin seeds (sunflower oil (sunflower oil, citric acid), salt); raisins*; dried apples*; chocolate chips (evaporated cane juice, chocolate liquor, non-dairy cocoa butter); cranberries*; rosemary extract

*Sulfite free
