***As a mom I am on my feet constantly and having 3 kids all under the age of 5 i get stressed out a lot. By the end of the day I want to just relax with a good snack. I worry about calories and how healthy it is.  Jello Mousse Temptations hit the spot. The Carmel Crème is very good and tastes a little like butterscotch. Chocolate Indulgence and Chocolate Decadence are very good, I even think they are a bit to chocolatey. My kids loved them, and the mess on their face proved it!  I’m a bit torn Mousse Temptations are good, but so is regular Jell-O pudding and it’s cheaper too.

****My kids were so excited when they saw the Kool-Aid Fun Fizz drops in the water. We tried out the Partyin Punch and it tasted for the most part like traditional Kool-Aid. It either needed more sugar or i put in too much water. We also received a Kool-Aid fun fizz cup with lid and straw to try it out. Watch my video review. (My son tried to spill the drink so please excuse the end of the video).

*****These cookies are very good and you can barely tell they don’t have milk in them. I received mini chocolate chip cookies, and oatmeal cookies.   The chocolate chip cookies were a bit hard, but still tasted very good. The oatmeal cookies were soft and chewy and delicious. you can but these products at www.homefreetreats.com. These cookies are also made with whole grain, which makes them heart healthy.
