20 Best Hospital Snacks For Dad (2023 Updated)

I love this peanut brittle! I normally can only find peanut brittle during Christmas, and I was happy to see this in the store now. It’s light and crispy. It has a nice crunch to it and doesn’t stick to your teeth.

I almost finished the whole canister in a week. Definitely give it a try.

If rating the product alone it would be five stars because this is really top-notch peanut brittle. However, the package was poorly packed and apparently badly handled because a better description would have to be “Peanut Brittle Powder.

” The candy was very broken up and so much of its attraction—and flavor—was lost. Keep the candy but fix the handling.

Sam’s Club was out of peanut brittle for a couple of weeks and we bought another brand from other stores. They did not meet our expectations. The peanut brittle at Sam’s Club is the best peanut brittle we’ve ever had.

Usually we wait until Christmas time to buy it but this is so good I could see us buying it throughout the year instead of just during the holidays.

Overall, an excellent box at a very reasonable price. The packaging is also quite nice, so it makes for a good gift as well. I really enjoy 3 out of the 4 products. I will note that the Original (not the old fashioned one) is very tough.

Personally, thin and tough doesn’t work well for me, but the taste is still very good. Otherwise, the Old Fashioned original is tremendous and very dry, unlike most store-bought jerky. It works well for me but it’s worth noting.

The beef sticks are simply excellent; peppery and salty. I really enjoy the Cowboy Peppered as well, but it’s worth noting that it does have a bit of sweetness to it that won’t be for everyone.

I’d never really been a jerky fan, but I’ve been on a keto diet for several months and was looking for a good high protein, low carb snack. Totally unimpressed with a couple of the brands I tried from the grocery and convenience stores.

After some investigation, I decided to give y’all a try. OMG! This changes EVERYTHING. Yummy, nice texture, no preservative taste. I made the mistake of giving my husband (who is not doing keto) a bite.

He’s hooked too. He’d had more experience with jerky in the past and said this is the best ever. by far. We’ll be reordering as soon as we finish tasting all of the items from the sampler box so we can figure out which ones to order in quantity.

Thanks for a GREAT product!.

I recently bought the HEALTH NUT – KETO JERKY BOX and found it to be very good. The main reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because those small packs just don’t last me long enough! (I’ve been spoiled by having the 1-pound packs around).

The Keto box, though, is very convenient for on-the-fly lunches, hiking, driving, etc. All of the products I’ve purchased from the People’s Choice folks have been excellent: Jerky the way jerky used to be before the super-sweet, spongy, nitrate-laden commercial stuff came along.

There is no comparison between that stuff and People’s Choice authentic, traditional jerky. I have signed up for a subscription because I just can’t seem to get enough of this fine treat!.

I was so excited to receive the Bonnie & Pop Dried Fruit Gift Basket unfortunately the excitement soon faded to disappointment. Upon opening the package the first thing I noticed was the kiwi looked as if it could glow in the dark so I knew there had to be artificial color involved.

I turned to the ingredients and I was right there were artificial colors used along with sugar! I can’t see how covering the fruit with sugar could be considered healthy! I along with my husband tasted each and every piece of fruit in the tray and the only one that had any flavor other than sugar were the dates.

The fruit pieces that have added sugar had no other flavor than that of the sugar which we found much too sweet. The ones without sugar (with the exception of the dates) we bland and flavorless. While there was a nice variety of fruit there may be some that are not familiar and you would just have to guess what you ate since there isn’t anything other than a list of fruits to help you identify them.

The fruit comes with a bag to store your fruit in once you have opened it that has a zippered closure. Also included in the basket is a very cute wooden apple basket. It starts out looking like a flat board but is quickly transformed into a nice wooden apple basket.

It will take you under a minute to have the cute basket ready for fruit. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this fruit basket.

The dried fruit tray was fresh and colorful. The fruit included is listed on the box. I like dried fruit and some I was familiar with the taste and some I was not. The kiwi was very colorful and really sweet but the seeds were not that tasty.

The mango was really sweet, delicious, and recognizable. The rest of the dried fruit tasted like regular dried fruit. The presentation was beautiful. The basket opens up into a sturdy wood fruit basket.

It is a great conversation piece and it was easy to develop. I actually removed my boring metal fruit basket and replaced it with the one enclosed. They conveniently included a storage bag for when you open the fruit.

The bag was big enough to just slide the fruit tray into it; meaning you did not rearrange the assortment. The storage bag kept the fruit fresh for over a week at room temperature. The basket makes this a great gift for someone that enjoys dried fruit.

I have placed apples and oranges inside of the fruit basket and it is very sturdy. I am not sure the effect that the wood would have on the fruit and the fact that it is not as ventilated and open as a wire or metal basket.

So far my apples have been in there two days and I have not seen an effect on the ripening.

It was fun trying all the different varieties of fruit. The trivet/basket was a bonus, although the price seems a little high. The whole family enjoyed tasting the fruit and picking out their favorite.

The peach was very tough. So tough, in fact, that I couldn’t bite into it. The dates have pits, so be careful. It came with mainly apple slices, which was my favorite. Everyone liked the mangos. The plums were interesting.

I liked them but others didn’t. The apricots were delicious. Some liked the kiwi and some did not. They were very strong-tasting. There weren’t very many pears and I don’t think anyone cared for them.

The prunes were ok. Overall, this would be a fun gift for someone, but expensive. The basket seems sturdy enough but I’m afraid of it breaking because it moves so much. When my daughter saw the basket, she was very excited and said it’s much nicer than the ine we have, which is metal.

I sent this to my son and daughter in law who are both working and going to college to give them encouragement to get through those tough couple weeks at the end of the year when they have projects due and exams and they just want to be done.

They loved it! They said there was alot of good stuff in there. They both eat healthy so this was great because I get to spoil them without ruining their diets and they got a little extra boost through a tough time.

The teen I purchased this for loved, loved, loved this. He had broken his leg and was 5 days out from surgery, and already antsy.

I absolutely love the Raspberry, Blueberry and Strawberry Fig cookies; as well as Apple and Strawberry Oatmeal Crumble bars! Right out of box fig cookies are soft and easy to eat. Apple crumble reminds me of actual apple crumble you bake in oven.

All fruits taste exactly like you’re eating them fresh off tree or bush. Only 140 calories for a crumble and 200 for 2 large sized whole wheat fig cookies. I’m constantly reordering using Build a Box option.

Fruit flavors are far superior in taste than Fig Newtons you buy at store and I’m talking about other than regular fig cookies!.

Like so many of our fave products, shrinkage has occurred and quality is reduced. New size is super tiny and had just a sliver sized row of fig in the middle. NOTHING like the bars I grew to love. Prior size was good enough for small breakfast with my morning coffee and you could really enjoy the fig.

New version is just a small portion of grain; not enough fig to even mention. Whatever fig is there is dried up into the grain because it’s not enough to call a filling. Disappointed and like do many others in reviews, I will just find a new product.

I bought these because they are a healthy snack. Also it is cheaper than using the vending machine at work. So I pack these as my work snack to save on money and poor snack choices. I have tried them before and large bag are sold at my local grocer.

My problem with the purchase I that only 2 flavors were provided. Four of one flavor and the rest all the plain green packaging variety. I really wanted more variety or at least equal parts. I realize there is a supply chain shortage.

My other purchase came with a label stating contents inside may not have all the flavors in the correct amounts. I appreciate that. I would like for Sam’s Club to place that on the website as well.

These are my absolute favorite chips! They aren’t actually chips, they are crisps, and are not at all like any other chips or crackers. They are very thin and crispy, and super flavorful and delicious! And much healthier than regular chips as they are made with veggies and are not greasy at all.

They are great plain or dipped in hummus or other dips. Not really spicy, just a hint of jalapeño flavor. I was so happy to find these in stock at my local Walmart, had been ordering them online. I love all of the veggie crisps by off the eaten path, but these are my favorite!.

What I bought from SamsClub in person today was a 26-item box of these types of packages, for the same price ($14. 98), but they are 4 different flavors, each in only a 1. 0 oz bag, not 1. 25 oz bags as in this listing.

And in my online receipt in my account, the item number shows no matching item. It didn’t describe the item I’d bought (along with many other items), so I had to call and have them look it up. (Item 980372624 on my paper receipt, named “OTEPVPCUBE”, which I couldn’t figure out what that was.

). They taste fine, and I suppose a variety of 4 flavors is good to have, but why pull a switcheroo like this, where every bag is a quarter ounce shy of what’s in this item listing on samsclub. com. (There is no item listing for the variety I bought.

).

The pudding is pretty good at fridge temperature, however when freezed then slightly thawed, it becomes a unique frozen treat, much similar in consistency to ice cream. In the recent past, I’ve been freezing these and letting them defrost (or freeze again with milk) in a small amount of milk in a bowl.

Then I’ll mix the pudding and chilled milk to create a small bowl of an ice cream like treat. The frozen snacks tasted pretty good, especially with toppings such as dark chocolate chips. I’ve also tried these frozen without the additional milk, they still tasted good and its container was very convenient and fun to eat out of.

The seal was easy and fun to remove, almost therapeutic. I eventually had to quit eating these fun snacks due to its artificial ingredients and concern from my mother. Also, there tends to be a slight aftertaste after eating either flavor the pudding cups.

Nevertheless, they were a delicious delight and were something I had to look forward to, maybe once the artificial addivives are removed I can return to the treats. Thanks so much for the pretty good pudding!.

It’s a shame that some of us can’t grow our own foods because of all the hormones and other junk that processed foods contain. Snack Pack is no exception since it contains Bovine Growth Hormone, also known as rBGH in Canada and rBST in the USA.

Injecting cows with all sorts of hormones isn’t new and the info on the package may be intentionally misleading, according to OrganicValley. coop (OVc). According to OVc, if the label says “does not contain rBST,” it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have other bovine hormones that can cause prostate problems, ovarian cysts, and cancers.

I’m female and rely on many packaged foods. I believe that my health issues as well as nose and toe hairs, skin problems, and arthritis are linked to my despicable diet. Knowing that my 7 year old neighbor also has hair where she shouldn’t have and remembering the premature development of young Puerto Rican girls after consuming “Pollos Picu” years ago, I’m concerned for the welfare of America’s future generations.

So, after learning what I’ve recently learned about hormones, I dumped the remaining 5 puddings. Eat this at your own risk. I can’t eliminate everything, but I’m trying to make reasonable changes.

These are so cute and delicious. A great snack for the kids lunches or snack time. Also, I love to watch how each of my kids will eat them differently. i. e. nibble the arms and legs first, bite the head off, go for the ears, pop them in whole or eat around the whole thing until it’s just a little round belly with a belly button lol.

The only downside for me is that once you open them they taste stale very quickly if they are not eaten right away (even if you wrap the bag back up and seal the box).

I normally do not eat protein bars as I do not like the taste of them and how they make me feel after I ate them. At one point someone offered me a sample of the Perfect Bar – Peanut Butter and I realized this bar is completely different.

It is rich, but it tastes fresh. It is gluten-free, contains natural components and fills you up without feeling uncomfortable for the entire day. They need to be stored in the fridge, but taste best when they are at ambient temperature.

I tried other flavors as well as their peanut butter cups and they all taste very natural as well.

To me, popcorn needs to be both buttery and salty. This is the best buttery and salty microwave popcorn, whether in the mini size or regular size. Often I will open and flatten out the bag so I can drag the popcorn through the butter and salt, making it even better.

Another reviewer gave a low rating because the kernels didn’t pop up to a large enough size. I believe that’s because a low-power microwave just can’t pop this or any popcorn very well. I also had bad results in a 700-watt microwave but perfect results in 1100-watt microwaves at home and at homes of friends and family.

It took a few bags for me to get the timing right to get the most popped kernels without burning, but the taste-testing of all those bags was awesome.

Delicious, movie theater popcorn with a great buttery taste. We had previously been buying another name brand popcorn. It tasted okay but the smell when it was popping was nauseating. Not only does Jolly Time taste better than our previous brand, it smells better during popping, pops better (no more partial bags) and costs less.

I have a teen with autism who eats popcorn every single day and Jolly Time blast o butter is his favorite.

The old recipe of the peanut butter bear naked granola was absolutely fantastic. Amazing. It was a stable of my breakfast, something my livelihood revolved around. When I saw that they made a new recipe for it by removing the honey, I became very frightened that my favorite granola may be ruined.

This fear has become reality. The new recipe ruins this granola, making it terrible. I feel as if my my pet dog got hit by a bus at the same time that my cute bunny found the underneath of a running lawn mower.

This granola in which I used to love has succumbed to corporate greed, losing its quality, taste, and everything that made it bear naked peanut butter granola.

Love The Convenience Of Granola Bites So You Can Have Just However Many You Want. The Flavor And Texture Of These Is Amazing – Almost Too Good Bc It’s Hard To Stop Eating Them. They Satisfy Both Sweet And Salty Cravings.

But By Far The Best Part Is The Nutrition Facts. These Are Much Lower Sugar Than Any Other Granola Snacks We’ve Found. Even Lower Than The Other Flavors By The Same Brand. It’s Important For Us That The Fiber Protein Content Be Higher Than The Total Grams Of Sugar And These Fit The Bill.

It’s The Only Granola Snack I’ve Found That Does! My Whole Family Loves These. Please Never Change The Ingredients And We Will Be Loyal Customers For Life!.

I love some other products from this brand but these are noooot good. I had high hopes because of the good reviews but maybe they changed the recipe. I gave one to my daughter and she literally spit it out and started crying.

She’s really picky so I figured she was just upset they weren’t her usual bear crackers and I tried one. I wanted to spit it out too! These are chalky and weird, I can’t even adequately describe the texture.

They don’t taste anything like graham crackers at all. They honestly taste like cardboard.

I love these crackers. A little dry, but otherwise fine. I buy them every time I shop and order online if they aren’t in stock locally. Cinnamon is my favorite, with honey as my second favorite. Chocolate is good, but drier than the other two flavors.

For the people complaining, these are a high protein healthy adult snack. Quit comparing these to kids’ junk food!.

These are really good. I love that they’re whole grain and high-protein, and they are very filling. Other reviews complained about them not tasting like chocolate. I think maybe it’s not sweet enough for them.

I like it that they’re not full of sugar. A pity they’re so hard to find.

My wife likes these a lot can’t find anywhere. I bought for Xmas for my wife. She also bought some for herself for Xmas. Hers were the bigger size from a candy company online. Mine were from Office Depot.

Hers didn’t taste the same as mine. Mine tasted like they did 50 year ago , but hers were softer not hard didn’t taste the same. More like sugar babies not sugar daddy. Only bad thing they didn’t arrive till 12/29/2020 to late for Xmas.

They said they would arrive on 12/22/2020.

This all started when i lay down with my girl to watch a movie. Open up my favorite snack and start crunching away. After a handful each the box was empty so i went to the kitchen and grabbed a new box.

Upon opening and taking a few bites me and my lady were both agreeing there was something not right, we assumed they had passed expiration and gone bad/stale So we turn on the light and check. We dont see this to be the case so we are stumped and decide to throw away the box just in case something was wrong with them.

As im throwing them away i notice there is no Tabasco bottle amd its a generic hot sauce bottle. lol ishow my girl we start laughing and google it, sure enough tabasco was gone. Listen, its not like the new ones arent edible.

They are ok, they are kinda spicy but they arent great. Average at best. The new product is just meh compared to all the things i could enjoy when having a snack. The Tabasco cheez its were amazing. Next level snack.

And this isnt because im some Tabasco freak loyalist, I dont think i have a bottle of it in my fridge currently to be honest but Tabasco Is certainly unique in the world of hot sauces. It has a special taste that seems to nail the spicy part but also keep a great elevated flavor.

This new flavor is exactly what the box shows it as, some generic joe jobber BS run of the mill hot sauce. I dont think ill be buying hot and spicy cheez its anymore which really sucks. My favorite for years.

i think the worst part of it is this decision was probably made by some dingleberry to try and save the company money but still got a 10 million dollar bonus last year. Smh. This is why we cant have nice things.

I’m writing this review under complete duress. A debate about snack food with my coworkers brought me to visit CheezIt. com. To my complete and utter SHOCK, I’ve discovered that Hot & Spicy was the lowest-rated flavor of the 14 flavors with just 3 Stars!! Lower than “Cheese Pizza.

” Lower than “Whole Grain. ” Lower than “Reduced Fat”!! This is travesty and sham. I demand to inspect the taste buds of anyone who rated “Hot & Spicy” Cheez-It’s lower than 4 stars. This flavor is the single, best snack food in the world.

(Possibly on other worlds as well!) The crumbled bits at the end of the box are quite simply the most flavorful THING in the universe. If the big-wigs at Kellogg’s (or even the medium-wigs) try and remove this God-send of a snack from shelves across America, I will march from Boston to Battle Creek.

Once there, I will plant myself on the steps of 1 Kellogg’s Square until this travesty is rectified and order is restored. (Or until they bribe me with a few boxes of White Cheddar. Those are also very good.

).

#gifted #sponsored I received these products for free from Ripplestreet and Cheez-it in exchange for my honest review. Cheez-it out did themselves with these new puff’d cheez-it. Yes regular cracker cheez-it’s are great , but who doesn’t love a cheesy , airy and puffy snack.

My kids at first didn’t know what to think of them at first , but after tasting them they have asked for them over and over. These cheez-it puff’d are definitely loaded with cheese. It will give you cheesy fingers , lol.

These come in (3) flavors – double cheese , white cheese , and scorchin’ hot. I really lived the scorchin’ hot. They are quite spicy ? and might not be for everyone. You can buy these in just about any place you pick up your groceries.

Its just under $3 – just under $4 for a 5. 7 oz bag. #CheezItPuffd #DefyYourCheezpectations #complimentary @cheezit #socheesy #airy #Puff’d #influenstereats #cheezits #yummy #snacks.

These are just super cute little cinnamon sticks that are shaped like dog bones , they are small so don’t expect a big size bone. The serving size I believe is about 6-7 bones and the kids just love them.

My little 2 yr old grandniece wasn’t too thrilled as she was not going to eat a “dog bone” we had to explain that it was yummy and let her brother eat one first , she said “you yucky'” and no eat doggy bone, smart baby.

They are Yummy and taste very good with just enough cinnamon , not overpowered with it. They make a great snack for anyone young or old and they’re better than a sugary candy snack. My opinion , I like them , husband loves them and kids that are old enough to know they are for humans love them.

They are worth the cost for a treat.

These are SOO GOOD!! I’m not even kidding, everyone in my house LOVES THESE! They are absolutely delicious!! also, they are only 130 calories for 9 and they are a decent size!! I can eat 3-5 of them between lunch – dinner and be completely satisfied.

Love that they are made with Whole Grain!! Super cute, yummy, and satisfying.
