I love these little snack packs. Yes, they are small, but it's perfect. Nuts, raisins, and a few m&m style candies make it a great treat to add to lunches in case my girls want a little more after their main meal and fruit. I like the flavors too.
Pros: Flavorful, Portable, Kid-Friendly, Healthy, smaller can be better
I agree with other reviewers that the small packages (the size of a fun-size candy for trick-or-treaters) make this trail mix pricier by the ounce. And 2-3 packages are needed if packing a lunch.
HOWEVER, the small size also makes this an excellent product to keep in your purse and/or car for when sudden hunger strikes! There's just enough candy to make the nuts & raisins yummy, and the fiber & protein kick in around the time the small sugar buzz wears off, making this an excellent stop-gap to hunger pains.
And one or two packages also greatly satisfy a craving for something sweet; the candy doesn't add many calories, and the nuts & raisins provide healthy nutrition.
Cons: Too Few, Poor Packaging, very small portion size
These taste good but the packages are ridiculously small and there aren't many of them considering the price....will not be a regular on my list. Even someone who doesn't "cook" could make something just as good easily and for much less money.

Not my first choice
Date:February 2, 2011
Pros: Portable, Kid-Friendly, Healthy
Cons: Poor Flavor
I purchased this along with two other snack products (the three were all together as a special). My children did not care for them at all, so this defeated my purpose of buying a better snack product for them. I tried them and they were not my favorite either. I did comment that I would recommend them to a friend because I'm sure some kids would like this type snack, we are just a little picky with certain foods. I must comment on all the other Market Day products I have bought, so far every thing has been GREAT!!!
I agree the portion is tiny but it's a great snack and as someone constantly counting calories it's a nice little snack - even if I have two packs...definitely NOT for hungry/starving teenagers - they can have the whole can of cashews/peanuts/etc...
I am buying again because I haven't found anything else like it.
I am very disappointed in the quantity of snack mix in each pack. It is one small handful. Less than a 1/4 cup. Not near enough for my teenager or even the 9 yr old. Dont waste your money on this one!
