Mount Franklin Sunrise Confections' creamy yummy vegan Softer Than Brittle (in pecan, almond peanut or cashew-NO dairy, gluten, preservatives or hydrogenated oils) or Sunrise Gummy Bears (no artificial ingredients) and practically iconic-Peppermint Starlights- our favs in this tantalizing set-up.

Available Shop Rites and online. Factoid-we finished our sample on the subway ride home. Smaller snack size is in the works... Addictive alert officially issued, accordingly. |

Perky Jerky-catchy "jerktastic" name-no catch to the ingredients list though...all natural-no nitrates, preservatives, added MSG and gluten free. Variety of flavors-but the original is a bro' fav. |
The New Primal is particularly know for its grass fed, pasture raised beef sourcing and using 100% collagen beef source for casing their sticks. Celery juice and spices kicks it up for spicy bites. Also makes a turkey sized snack bite for kids-cute packaging too (review). |
Lorissa's Kitchen-NEW Original Grass Fed Steak Strips won't be available till MAY 2018...no doubt will pretty much disappear in a day -just like their Korean Barbecue strips- flavored packet sample we got- that was left out on our communal family kitchen table. No wonder this company-that we have covered since its infancy-has blown up. The Original Beef Steak Strips-have a natural smoky flavor "coupled with a hint of sweetness." FYI: The strips are similar to jerky but more tender-with a higher moisture content. All Lorissa's Kitchen products are free from grass fed no added hormones sources, no preservatives or nitrates, or added MSG. Factoid-Lorrissa Link -the creative mastermind of the aforementioned company-is related via marriage to the founder/namesake Jack Link Protein Snacks-the gigantic-ist meat snack company. |
