ZonePerfect sent us one of each of their new “Kidz ZonePerfect” bars to try out a few weeks ago. Because they’re for “kidz” (the spelling of which — I’m going to go ahead and say this even though it’s pretty much a big review spoiler — is the only thing I don’t like about the bars. Why, ZonePerfect, why?), I asked Poppy & Pete to try them out and let me know what they thought. That went something like this:
Poppy: I want the Yellow Cupcake one!
Pete: No, I want the Yellow Cupcake!
Me: Hey, settle down. Let’s cut it in half!
Them: OK! chomp chomp chomp
Poppy: This is awesome! It tastes just like a cupcake!
Pete: Can we get some more of these?
They liked the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip and the Caramel Crunch flavors well enough, too, but Yellow Cupcake totally takes the cake. (Oof, sorry about that. Couldn’t resist.)
Anyway, the kids requested we get a box to take to Dollywood. After the bitter disappointment of finding that our grocery store doesn’t carry them, my children danced and shrieked like wild things right there in the aisle when we found them at Target. We ended up with a box of each in the cart, because how could I review them without trying them?
Except, well, I still haven’t tried the Yellow Cupcake because I’m afraid they’ll have me deported if I take one of their preciouses, but I’ve taken the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip and the Caramel Crunches out running errands with me. Errands from which they never returned, because I ate them. Both bars were sufficiently filling, but I preferred the Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip. Have you ever had one of those pretzel-Rolo candy concoctions? That’s what the Caramel Crunch bar tastes like. Which normally I would say is a great thing, but in a full-size bar it was just a little too sweet.
ZonePerfect wants you and your fam to try their new bars out, too, so they’re going to give one of you a box of each variety. To enter, leave a comment answering the following question: What’s your favorite on-the-go snack? I’ll close the comments at noon EST on Thursday, April 18, 2013. This giveaway is only open to U.S. residents. This giveaway is closed. And Sherry won! Congratulations, Sherry!
