Barbara's Fig Bars - Raspberry, Blueberry

The twins have been eating fig bars for some time now. They started off with fig newtons which kept getting stuck to the roof of their mouth. Then I discovered fig bars from Trader Joe's. The other day at the mom-and-pop organic store I discovered raspberry and blueberry fig bars by Barbara.

These fig newtons are organic, made with whole grains (sometimes multi grain) and sweetened with fruit juice. They are softer than traditional fig newtons so it's easy for the twins to eat. Also, added flavors of raspberry and blueberry to keep things from getting boring.

Fig bars from Trader Joe's

I have tried fig newtons and the twins eat them but sometimes they choke and sputter and throw up because it gets stuck to the roof of their mouth. So I have been on the lookout for an alternative and when I came across these fig bars at Trader Joe's I had to try them.

Success! These bars are even softer than fig newtons and literally melt in your mouth. The first time I gave it to them, it took me forever to get the paste out of my daughter's hair. I hand feed them for now and the first time I did my son hooted like an owl and ran around in circles - he likes them. a lot.
