I'm in love with these little treats!!! They are super yummy :) I've tried the raspberry & strawberry. They contain 100% of the Daily vitamin C you need. Super easy too - buy and freeze overnight!

Heres an article with more info

They sound absolutely wonderful! I hope they didn't ruin the nutritional value by adding sugar or high fructose corn syrup to them though. Can you tell us what the label says?

Glad to be a help :) I know they may still have the sugar - but it is less than popsicles and there is real fruit in them :) I highly recommend the 2 flavors I have tried

It is very hard to find processed food items that are completely free of all the bad stuff. You just have to try and find some kind of balance in what you eat. If the fruit in these is a good trade-off for you, then you should have it. You just have to decide what's best for you. That's all any of us can do!

I've bought these before. My kids really like the strawberry more than the raspberry! They were very refreshing after a hot day outside! And they do beat popsicles!

I have some of these at home in my freezer right now. They are good, I like strawberry the best, but they are so, so sweet. Ever since I got pregnant and had my daughter last year I can't stand anything very sweet anymore.

I don't think they make these anymore, but when I was a kid Welch's had a grape juice frozen bar. OMG, they were yummy. I think they make some kind of juice bars now but not this particular flavor. And pudding pops, they need to be brought back!!

TPMH - these are a brand new item that has just been released in most areas.

Oh my gosh! I loved the Jell-o pudding pops when I was a kid! Those things were awesome. Somehow it just isn't the same when I try to freeze actual pudding. :(

She's not saying that the Del Monte Fruit Chillers aren't made anymore, she's saying that the Welch's grape juice frozen bars aren't made anymore.

I purchased some Pudding pops (though I don't remember them being Jello) at Walmart about a week or so ago. My kids loved them. They did say pudding pops on the box, but I don't think they are quite like the originals.

Minute Maid makes a frozen juice bar that come in grape, orange, and cherry. They are pretty good tasting and are 90% juice! They have 14 g of sugar per bar!
