When I was younger, I was addicted to Fruit Roll-Ups. Something about the slippery texture and sweet taste just did it for me. Though many years have passed since I could get away with eating such unhealthy snacks without repercussions (guilt, fat thighs, etc.), my tastes haven’t grown up. Fortunately, Stretch Island makes a wholesome version of my favorite childhood snack: Fruit Leather. It has a similar texture to Fruit Roll-Ups, but it’s thicker and less sticky, and it tastes even better — a little less sweet and more like real fruit. That’s not surprising considering what’s in it: fruit and fruit juice. (Fruit Roll-Ups, on the other hand, contain a few hard-to-pronounce ingredients.) And whatever fruit you’re craving, you’ll probably find it: Fruit Leather comes in a wide variety of flavors, including raspberry, blackberry, mango, apricot, and apple.
