I finally found Enjoy Life snacks at my grocery store. For at least a year, I’ve been eating Enjoy Life chocolate chips- they are by far the best tasting milk free chocolate chips (that are actually produced on a line separate from milk!). The semi sweet and dark chocolate are particularly delightful. I’d been on the look out for their cookies and snacks, but they eluded me until this past week. Finding allergen friendly alternatives in the grocery store is always a treasure hunt and this was no different. But, with one successful shopping trip, we are back to-
Free Snacking:
Enjoy Life Edition
Unfortunately all of their savory snacks had
garlic powder in them so we settled on some “Cocoa Loco” chewy bars and some
Snickerdoodle soft baked cookies. The chocolate chewy bars were good- but on a
scale from 1 to loco, they were like a one time trip to the therapist instead of an
involuntary commitment to the chocolate factory. They also had the classic date aftertaste of
companies trying to use less sugar. My kids loved them. I wanted more fudge,
less Mediterranean dried fruit.
These Snickerdoodle cookies on the other hand, were
delicious. And, when I say delicious, I mean I took a bite, checked the package
to make sure they were actually safe for my kid, and then went in for another
bite. Cinnamon flavor: wonderful. Texture: beautiful. Do I usually go for a
Snickerdoodle cookie? Definitely not. But I’m going to grab these again next
time.
I read through the Enjoy Life website and couldn’t find anything about why it was founded, so I’m going to assume a it’s another allergy mom with no facts to base this on. They did say they are the largest allergen friendly bakery in North America, and they definitely have a wide selection of safe snacks and desserts. Mostly, I really appreciate their discussion of food allergies versus intolerance on their website.
Delicious
chocolate chips. Delicious cinnamon cookies. Another company that loves putting
dates in their chocolate flavored things.
Quick off topic note:
I'm taking a break! Going to the beach (with epinephrine NOT in a separate room temperature cooler), getting my kids back to school, so I'll see you in September.
