    Any thoughts on the new “candy bars” that are called UNReal candy? I’m dying to try a bar to see if it’s comparable. They’re supposedly made from real ingredients rather than the unidentifiable ingredients found in regular candy.

  2. Yes, I’ve actually included them as a great gift for the holidays in my upcoming Fit and Fab. They taste just like the real thing with better ingredients. The M&M varieties are great for the kiddos too because they don’t have all the food colorings. They use natural veggie juices to create the colors which you will see aren’t the bright res, blues and greens but more like deep purples, plums and deep greens and browns. If you are going to eat candy those would be the better bet. We found them at Target but I think you can get them at Walgreens, Staples and CVS. They are definitely worth the extra price.
