"I know I’m not the only mom who lives and breathes by her daily special treat—whether in the form of an iced coffee, a bag of spicy chips, or a chocolate bar. I typically reward myself with something in the mornings after school drop-off or the evenings after bedtime. Those tend to be the most stressful, migraine-inducing events of the day, and there’s nothing like a little reward for surviving. It should come as no surprise that my kids inherited my “special treat” mentality as well. Every time I pack their school lunches or pick them up from school, they immediately ask for treats, and frankly, I can’t even be mad at it. However, packing chocolate in their bento box or handing them sweets after school doesn’t bode well for my mom guilt.
“To treat or not to treat.” I faced this internal struggle daily when making my kid’s lunches and picking their after-school snacks. On one hand, I wholeheartedly related to their requests. On the other, I didn’t want to make eating junk food an unbreakable habit. Turns out, there’s a much happier medium available that earns me all the cool mom points without any of the guilt: Unreal Snacks. Their better-for-you treats are mind-blowingly delicious, and even my husband and I find ourselves sneaking in bites when the kids aren’t looking. Unreal Snacks have become a staple in our school snack line-up, here’s why:
Cool mom taste, healthy mom ingredients.
Craveable taste kids love 🤝 quality ingredients parents prefer
It’s not often that I offer my kids a snack with ingredients they can actually pronounce and get their immediate buy-in. The first time I grabbed Unreal Snacks Chocolate Gems while packing their lunch, their eyes grew as wide as saucers. “Candy?!” they squealed while racing towards the sound of the bag opening. “No, something even better,” I responded. They were not disappointed when they popped a few gems in their mouths.
Unreal Snacks strikes the perfect balance between what kids and their parents want. They have a wide range of treats filled with mouth-watering flavors like chocolate, nougat, and caramel, but Unreal Snacks uses only simple, high-quality ingredients. They contain less sugar and no artificial sweeteners, but their 100 percent real ingredients are so packed with flavor that your tastebuds are instantly in heaven. These snacks only have dyes found in nature (no red dye 40 in sight), are non-GMO, and they even have certified vegan and gluten-free options.

They’re the lunchbox snacks that never make it back
When I include any of our Unreal Snacks in my kids’ lunches—whether it’s the Dark Chocolate Coconut Bar, Milk Chocolate Gems, or Milk Chocolate Covered Pretzels—I can almost always expect to find zero leftovers at the end of the day. Adding that special treat gets them so much more excited about eating lunch from home. Plus, they’re an easy way to make a bento box way more fun without the extra work of making a treat from scratch (cause, seriously, I barely have the time to make dinner). It’s a win-win for both kid and mom.
Truthfully, we have a hard time keeping our Unreal Snacks in stock at home because my husband and I find ourselves reaching for a taste when the kids aren’t around—they’re just that good. I’m partial to the Milk Chocolate Gems, but my husband is a fiend for the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups. Even the editors without kids on our team are Unreal Snacks stans cause you’re never too old to enjoy some chocolate-coated goodness. These are the special treats you‘ll feel good about sharing with the whole fam—even though they’re so good you’ll be tempted to keep them for yourself 😉.
