For DD's bday, I'm giving out snack/food containers as the party favor. I thought it would be nice to include a snack pack or two with the container. I'd like something relatively healthy so the 100 calorie packs of Oreos, Cheez-its, etc are out. I was going to put in animal crackers but the snack cannot be made in a facility that has nuts. I was also thinking about Welch's fruit snack but looking at the ingredients, it seems like it's more sugar than fruit.
Any suggestions would be welcomed. These are for 3 year olds. Thanks.

My kids have peanut/treenut allergies and are fine with Goldfish.

I was trying to avoid Goldfish. I have a ton at home. If I buy the small packs, it comes in 24 and I only need 14. I didn't want to have the extra lying around the house. I just found a bag I bought last year. I buy and I forget. Goldfish will be my last resort.

what about Annies cheddar bunnies? Or Bunny Grahams? they even have fruit snacks http://www.annies.com/fruit_snacks
Fruit leathers are well liked in our home! My boys like the Clif Twisted Fruit too but only the strawberry flavor.

Thanks for the suggestions.
I think I'll get some fruit leather and search for Popumz.

Similar to Popumz, but not organic, are the Quaker Mini Delights.

My son saw me snacking on some once and dubbed them "turtle shells." Now I can't have them in the house without him wanting some.
Also, around Halloween time, I saw some Quaker chewy granola bars in tiny individually-wrapped sizes. Those tend to have a bunch more sugar, but were also a hit with my son.

Not sure what the FA's are that the OP is dealing with, but just wanted to point out that Quaker products sold in the US are not peanut/nut free.
