Starburst Fruit By The Foot from Betty Crocker
A bit sweeter than regular Fruit By The Foot, but pretty much the same thing.

SMELLS AMAZING!
Kid Snack Review:
Starburst-Flavored Fruit By The Foot from Betty Crocker
Telling your kids they can have Starburst-flavored Fruit By The Foot is almost like telling them they can have candy for snack. Almost. And, also actually too much like telling them they can have candy for a snack.
Fruit By The Foot and Starburst are two favorites of Snackin’ Brother (don’t tell the dentist), so it was no surprise that he loves Starburst-flavored Fruit By The Foot. For that reason, we had Snackin’ Sister do this review. She’s a fan of both Fruit By The Foot and Starburst, but she’s not a fanatic.
Snackin’ Sister opened her Starburst-flavored Fruit By The Foot and proclaimed, “This smells amazing!” She enjoyed the taste too, but said it’s not that different from regular Fruit By The Foot – just a little bit sweeter. She also noted that the Starburst flavor is evident if you know that these are Starburst flavored, but she probably wouldn’t have noticed otherwise.
Like all Fruit By The Foot varieties, these were sticky. But Snackin’ Sister touched only the paper as she was unrolling them, and the stickiness landed only in her mouth. A younger kid might end up with sticky fingers.
Snackin’ Mom appreciates how these snacks are low-ish calorie and take some time and effort to unroll and eat (versus just popping them in your mouth). And the kids enjoy the fun of them (whether they’re Starburst flavor or not). The actual ingredients are a bit disappointing – mostly sugar, flavoring (including artificial flavor for the orange variety) and color (including red 40). In fact, the nutrition quality may be comparable to actual Starburst.
All in all, Fruit By The Foot represents an easy to grab, clean to consume snack that we will undoubtedly have again. Though we are unlikely to select Starburst over other flavors.
