      I was so stoked to be chosen to review these products! We received, Strawberries, Cranberries, Apricots, Pineapple and mango. They arrived on a day that I had barely any fruit left for the kids school lunches, so couldn’t have been better timing! My kids 10,7,3 were all very excited to try the different flavours. Their favourite was Pineapple, I think coz it was something quite different from the usual dried fruit you see. Mine was cranberry and strawberry, they were quite soft because of the added addition of apple juice which I enjoyed. The little pieces of fruit all fit well in the small middle section of the kids yum boxes, perfect for a healthy sweet treat! I would definitely purchase these again, so much better than the preservative filled dried fruit you find on supermarket shelves!

        We were so excited to get to try the Nibblish dried fruit, we have just come back from holiday so having some healthy snacks for us all was fantastic! The kids favourite flavour was by far strawberry, mine however was pineapple! I will def be buying these again as they will be great for my daughters lunchbox when she starts school and also for my 3 year old as a healthy quick snack when his baby sister arrives. Very convenient and sweet without all the sugar. Now to hide them from my husband so he doesn’t eat them all (his favourite flavour was them all!!)

      We love these products – already picked up some more from Countdown in the shop last night!

      The products arrived in a gorgeous box and we were thrilled to see so many options. I also really enjoyed reading more about the company. I love giving my money back to NZ companies so to hear that Nibblish is local and is working on so many ethical things was fantastic.

      The packaging is great and the vibrant colours quickly caught the eye of the kids and definitely made it easy for me to spot in the supermarket + being able to reseal them is such a great convenience.

      When it comes to taste, they were all a hit! The kids devoured the Mango and Pineapple pieces so fast I nearly didn’t have time to save them for the lunchbox. The littlest one had trouble chewing through the Mango but eagerly gave the Strawberry a go and was thrilled with the taste. Hubby and I loved ALL the flavours and were able to sneak some into our snack boxes for work too. The kids thought these were a nice treat and apparently have been the highlight of their lunches all week – A+ from us!

      We are going to continue to buy these for their lunchboxes or as snacks for when we’re on the road. I’d also be interested to see if the Strawberry ones could be baked in to some mini muffins.

      Thanks Kidspot and Nibblish for including us in this trial.

      What an amazing surprise these were to arrive home to! I loved opening the bright and happy box filled full of delicious Nibblish treats!
      Without a doubt these are the most delicious dried fruit snacks my family and I have ever tried.
      Our absolute favourites are the strawberry and mango but we loved all the others too. My kids were lucky to even get a look in as these were so easily devoured by myself! Such a great treat to go into the school lunchbox and into the handbag when you are on the go.
      We will definitely be buying these from the supermarket each week! Thanks so much! 🙂

      My kids are so full of energy, always on the go so I like to make sure they’re getting their 5+ a day and wow along came Nibblish and blew our minds. Both my son and daughter are huge fruit lovers and snack on a variety of fruits daily so trying these was exciting for them. Love the resealable bags which Is perfect for car rides, beach trips and park hangs and the cute packaging. We tried Mango and Strawberry first and wow safe to say my kids loved them as they finished the bag within 5mins. I am huge on knowing exactly what my kids eat and what’s going Into their bodies and with Nibblish being 100% fruit and nothing else we are sold, both healthy and delicious! I have already recommended Nibblish to close friends and family and with 5 different baked fruits to try there’s something for everyone! We can’t wait to eat our way through the other flavors left, big huge yes to Nibblish gently baked fruit. 👍

      These were great! I have 2 girls my youngest (nearly 2) loved them she calls them her lollo (lolly) and whenever she wanted a snack she would ask for them and as they are fruit I don’t have a problem with her eating them! My oldest is 9 she wasn’t as easy to get her to try these as the colouring of the fruit put her off, I did manage to get her to try the pineapple and mango and she liked the mango and has eaten most and has taken them in her lunch box to school. The only problem I have now is trying to find these in our supermarket

    6. Seth Holten 04/03/2020 at 9:51 pm

      Thank you so much for choosing us to trial these yummy treats.
      As as the courier knocked on the door my girls were there begging me to open the box .
      My 2year old daughter wanted them all opened so she could taste each. Ill be honest she only approved of the strawberries. I think the apricot and mango were a bit hard for her amd my 1yr old to chew. The strawberries were a hit with all 3 kids. My 1yr old didn’t mind sucking on the apricot but again was to hard for her. Our 8 yr old tried the pineapple and he claimed the whole.bag for himself absolutely loved them. He was a bit nervous to try the others but he also enjoyed the strawberries and the mangos.

      We will definitely buy the strawberries again and when the girls are a bit older might try the others again.

      Highly recommend these for a healthy sweet treat for the kids amd yourself!!!

    7. aandcjones 04/03/2020 at 5:30 pm

      YUMMY we all have our favorites, Mr 10 likes (well liked they were the first to go) the Strawberries. The mango is good. Unsure about the apricots but they will be good in baking.great for the lunch box and an easy snack afterschool. Would probably buy if they are a reasonable price.

    8. crank 04/03/2020 at 10:15 am

      Wow! These are going straight on my grocery list! I have to admit, I opened the cranberry ones before the kids got home from school. What a mistake – there was almost none left for the kids to try! They are so delicious – moreish and full of flavour. They’re not like usual dried cranberries. We also received strawberry, apricot, pineapple and mango. They were all so good and super easy to dish out into the lunch boxes. Knowing that the kids are getting a healthy snack gives me less guilt LOL! We also took a pack to weekend sport, tossed some in the breakfast cereal, and added the apricots to couscous for dinner. Thank you Nibblish!

      My family absolutely loved having the chance to trial and review the Nibblish range of dried fruit! These are products that I hadn’t seen before or tried but it was love at first bite! When our package arrived to review my first thought was how much I really loved the branding and packaging of this brand! I loved the bright and playful colors and the packaging was easy to read and understand. I really liked that each packet tells you how much fruit is inside (e.g. approximately 20 apricots or 1/2 a pineapple) so you know how long it should last. And as a mum a definite plus is that each packet is resealable which makes it easy to grab and go if you are rushing out the door and needing snacks to take with you.

      My 3 children, aged 3yrs, 6yrs and almost 8yrs, all couldn’t wait to try these products out and in fact they kept hounding me all day long (and in the following days too!) to be able to try out all of the different dried fruits. My kids absolutely LOVED these Nibblish dried fruits!!! There wasn’t a single type of dried fruit that they didn’t like and if I hadn’t hidden them all away to be doled out a little at a time, they would have easily finished all of the bags in a single day! It was such a treat to find dried strawberries and they were SO delicious! It’s safe to say that they were our top favourite with the apricots, mango, cranberries and pineapple all coming in pretty equally at a close second. As a parent, you often have to have a treat stored away in the pantry as a bribe (whether for good behaviour, toilet training, a job well done, etc.) and these Nibblish dried fruits will now become my go-to treat food for the kids, they are that good!

      On top of the great taste I was also super surprised to realize that most other dried fruit is soaked in sugar as part of the drying process and then washed in chemicals to keep the colours bright which leaves the product being only about 50% fruit and with more sugar than lollies! Are you as shocked as I am about that!?! Nibblish is doing things differently and it’s products baked at a low heat to dry the fruit out the same day that fruit is picked and then there are absolutely no sugar or chemicals added to the product. So all you are left with is 100% fruit. And if that wasn’t enough Nibblish aims to become the most sustainable food company in Oceania, they are trying to make it easier for women in Ghana to get back to work after having children and they also give 10% of profits to charity. Needless to say that this brand will now become my go-to brand of dried fruit to buy and I would 100% recommend this product to everyone.

      Thank you to Kidspot and Nibblish for giving us the opportunity to try out these fantastic products and review them for you 🙂

      Thank you so much for selecting our family to review nibblish dried fruit
      I loved reading – on the box about the process that nibblish dried fruit goes through and how different to other products they are
      You have me hooked! I always would go for the brightest looking dried fruit but now I know better! The apricots were so good and the cranberries were the best I have ever eaten hands down! Had the to k of approval from the kids who loved the strawberries the best
      I feel like I can know make a more informed decision when selecting which dried fruit product to go for and will always be this brand! Hope they bring out even More variety perhaps even vegetables
      Thank you

    11. Jtnz 03/03/2020 at 9:05 pm

      Thanks for the opportunity to trial the Nibblish products. They arrived in a lovely box with info on the different types. My girls have been enjoying these in their lunchboxes as a small treat for lunch. The packaging is bright and colourful, making dried fruit fun to eat. It’s great that the bags are resealable as you only really need small amounts at a time for a treat.
      Love the fact that the company donates 10% of the profits from every bag to charity and have set up a childcare for workers in one of the countries where the product is made.
      I will be adding these to our supermarket shop in the future.

    12. Shris 02/03/2020 at 10:28 pm

      Thank you for the opportunity to trail these healthy fruit treats nibblish and Kidspot.
      My mr 4 just loved these and was so excited to see the bright packaging. Comes in nice resealable packs to keep them fresh and has decent quantities in them.
      Very easy to store and carry in bags for quick and easy snack. Great for school and on the run snack.All the flavors were a hit but strawberry and cranberry were his favorites.
      Great snack with no artificial flavors or sugars and still so delicious. nice and juicy for dried fruit.
      Definitely adding these to our weekly shopping. Perfect and a big hit with the kids as well as the grown ups.

    13. kim007 02/03/2020 at 9:55 pm

      We have loved trying out the Nibblish products. They are completely delicious and I love the fact that they are sulphate and preservative-free. These have been a wonderful healthy addition to my children’s lunchboxes & I’ve enjoyed snacking on them too. The pineapple is a firm favourite in our house and we will definitely be buying more. Thanks for the opportunity to review this wonderful product.

    14. TBartlett 02/03/2020 at 8:21 pm

      These fruit snacks really pack a punch. My eldest loved them all but ranked them in order of pineapple, cranberry, apricot then mango. I personally loved the cranberry which tasted like sour-sweet lollies but nutrious and good for you. I will definetely be getting more of these. The packaging was easy to use and resealable which helps with allocating portions and keeping them fresh. They are even gluten-free with no added sulphites or refined sugar so they dont make my eczema flare. I would recommend these without hesitation.

    15. Arna.williams 02/03/2020 at 7:36 pm

      We feel so incredibly greatful to be selected for the nibblish review team.
      This is something we buy often so to be given to opportunity to try the new flavours was really exciting for our family and especially for Noah our 2 year old.
      He loved trying all of the flavours and his previous favourites has been strawberry and pineapple. He has now added cranberry to his top 3 favourite flavours!
      This is the perfect sweet addition to a lunch box or for an after dinner snack. The strawberry taste like lollies they are so delicious.
      The mango flavour was a surprise as it wasn’t as sweet as the other fruits but was still very yummy.
      We will absolutely continue to buy this product, even though it is on the more expensive side in supermarkets I definitely think its worth the money and love knowing it is a healthy sweet treat for the kids.
      I couldn’t recommend this product more from the packaging to the flavour it’s just a fabulous fabulous product.

    16. AmandaB 02/03/2020 at 5:33 pm

      These were a hit from the minute the brightly coloured box arrived! The kids tried all the flavours and loved them all, most notably the pineapple. There were tears when I took the packets away. Love the packaging as it is so convenient to store in the cupboard or pop in the car for a snack on the go. Thank you for the opportunity, would highly recommend.

    17. Shorrty4life1 02/03/2020 at 4:31 pm

      The kids were super excited when this colourful box arrived from the courier the other day they couldn’t wait to see what was inside. They found the packaging perfect with resealable packaging it meant they could take their favourite for lunch and then reseal it and bring it again over a three day period until the product was finish and it was convenient sized packaging aswell to be able to fit in lunch boxes. My son 6 years enjoyed the dried pineapple. My daughter 9 years enjoyed the strawberries. My husband loved the cranberries. And I really liked the mango. Then we all shared out the final bad between each other. We would have loved to see some dried banana also as we have alot of banana lovers in the family. We found this product really great to trial and would definitely be keen on buying for a healthy treat for us all for school and work in the future. Thanks again kidspot for letting us trial this colourful creation.

    18. nashabenson 02/03/2020 at 1:46 pm

      Thanks so much for the opportunity to review the nibblish by nature 😍😍 I love the packaging and it being in one resealable bag is perfect for lunches as we have bento boxes so can give kids the right amount. My children both tried all the five fruit and Miss 7 (who doesn’t like raisins) loved them all which I was surprised at but her favourites were cranberries and strawberries 🍓 now Mr 5 who does eat more dried fruit and I thought would love them was only a fan of the dried apricots and didn’t mind the strawberries but did not like the others. I loved them all whilst Mango and pineapple they were the least favourites of the kids (I think it is the look of them more). But I will be looking for them again to purchase as they are perfect for snacking on as well as adding to lunchbox 😍😍

    19. Gemmamay 02/03/2020 at 12:14 pm

      These were amazing!! Me and my youngest of 2 couldn’t stop nibbling in these they were so good he kept bringing me the packets to open them for him out of the five the mango pineapple and apricots were the favorites he wasnt a fan of the cranberries they were abit sour I think and the strawberries were sticky the packets were amazing loved the cheeky note on the bottom of the packets had a wee giggle about that we found the zip lock was easily broken from continuing to open them all the time. The packets were bright and easy to read easy to locate aswell this was an all round good product that will be purchased for this house hold

    20. Jyostana 02/03/2020 at 11:34 am

      Thank you for choosing us to review your products. The beautifully packaged environment sustainable box and packaging was a delight. As for the dried fruits itself, I am stoked to feel the difference between the sugar mixed dried fruit. These ones indeed tasted original fruits. The market ones are not only sugary but also not so closed to eating the actual dried fruit. My little one loved apricot and pineapple. She was relishing the taste as well as the texture. Knowing it is sugar free and not low graded fruit gives me immense satisfaction to offer her and the family. My personal favorite is pineapple and cranberry, very tasty, juicy and perfect texture. Mango was a bit stiff and difficult to chew. But we are definitely stocking these up! Thanks again Nibblish, we wouldn’t have bought these from store unless offered to try. We are grateful that you are making awesome dried fruits that are healthy for the kids and the family too.

    21. Taliez 02/03/2020 at 10:15 am

      We were fortunate to do a review on these fabulous snacks! My boys (4.5yrs and 7.5yrs) loves these after school and also in their lunch box. Strawberry and pineapple were clear favourites for them. It was nice to be able to include healthy snacks in their lunches for preschool and school. The packaging was vibrant and inviting and the side note about how they are produced was very encouraging for me to purchase again. Thanks for the opportunity to trial. A+ from us!

    22. KZone7 02/03/2020 at 3:10 am

      Always looking for healthy snacks, these sound great 👍

    23. CreativeMum 01/03/2020 at 9:08 pm

      My three year old son just loved these – it took all my powers of distraction to get the pack of pineapple nibblish off him before he ate the whole thing! They are sweet and not too chewy and so much better than normal dried fruit. Perfect for snacks on the go. Would definitely recommend and will be buying these again.

    24. emma30 01/03/2020 at 4:15 pm

      Thanks so much for the opportunity to trial the nibblish dried fruits. We will all so excited when they arrived so beautifully packed. My children 11 and 9 have enjoyed snacking on these as well as taking them in their lunch boxes to school. Both of my children particularly loved the strawberry, mango and cranberry flavours. I particularly loved the apricots as they were so plump and not all dried out like some apricots you can get. I liked that the fruit didn’t have sugar added to it. I also think that it is fantastic that nibblish products are sustainably sourced. My children really enjoyed these products and I would definitely buy them again for their lunches.

    25. Riverwood 01/03/2020 at 2:52 pm

      I am very impressed with the product’s visual appearance, packaging and how it was presented.
      The brightly coloured box arrived and to my excitement had 5 different flavours for trailing in. It included a note as to how environmentally friendly the product was as well as how the final product is achieved.
      The packets are easy to open, colourful and I love the variety in fruits. I have never seen any of the competitors sell pineapple! My daughter was thoroughly excited to find the box on the table.
      We tested all the flavors-my daughter just could not get enough! I had to pack it far away as she was about to finish it all. Her favorite was the strawberry-so much so that I just bought a few packs of strawberry. My husband was like a small child let loose in a candy store! I like that the packets are quite legible and not over crowded with info-it is easy to see what the product is without having to read through tons of information. I also commend the vendor on selling fruit that is still juicy yet dried. The apricots were still so juicy and soft unlike the competition’s. Even baby managed to eat the apricots with only a few teeth.
      These are an ideal size-easy to pack into a nappy bag or take in the car. They keep little hands busy, taste great and make a magnificent treat.
      They currently retail for $4.19 in the supermarket which is on par with its closest competitors.
      I love that we can give these to small children without feeling guilty
      I will continue to purchase these going forward.

    26. zackandemiliasmummy 28/02/2020 at 8:58 pm

      Our nibblish box arrived at the door yesterday and the 2.5 and 5.5 yr olds both didn’t not waste time in ripping into them and tying everything.
      Love that they resemble real fruit in shape and are nice and juice to eat, in a nice and easy to assess pouch with the benefit of a snap lock closure to keep them fresh.
      Both of my kids loved the Cranberry and Strawberry while I loved the Pineapple and Apricot. The 3 of us struggled with the Mango but my husband doesn’t seem to mind it so there really is a flavor for everyone!
      Strawberry was definitely the top of the list for the whole family!
      We will definitely be buying these again in the future once we are through the packets in the box.

    27. Dognay 28/02/2020 at 8:20 pm

      My 3yr old son Arthur loved them and went straight for the cranberry thinking they were strawberry and really enjoyed them still. He then really loved the strawberry ones. Very good sized packets and nice for him to have healthy snacks to eat that are Sustainably Sourced and 100% Fruit.

    28. kimgrant 28/02/2020 at 4:20 pm

      Our boys, 2 and 5 years have food allergies (dairy, egg, gluten) and it was so nice being able to give them a safe food that I can now add to their lunchboxes and perfect for when their favorite summer fruits are no longer in season
      The both loved all of the samples except for the pineapple, I think it was a texture more than the taste that they didn’t like.
      It’s pretty cool that you also donate 10% of profits to charity but I was just wondering if your packaging is recyclable as I saw the sign the back but no recycling code number.
      Thank you Nibblish for the very generous sampler box, you guys rock!

    29. Ashleah 28/02/2020 at 2:51 pm

      We have been guzzling our nibblish dried fruit treats and I do not have enough good things to say about them!!
      All the flavours are absolutely delicious and I love that they are only fruit, nothing else added. This makes them a great sweet treat for my daughter. Her favourite is the pineapple and the mango as she is not quite One yet, and needs bigger pieces to hold so they are not a choking hazard. My favourites are the cranberry and strawberry.
      I also really like how the company is ethical in the way they do things. That is very important to me- making sure the companies I buy products from are doing things the right way. Good job Nibblish!
      The packaging for these products is also very eye catching which makes them jump out on the shelf in the supermarket. I will definitely be buying these in the future!

    30. Claireichert 28/02/2020 at 1:32 pm

      We received our gorgeous nibblish package – and the kids immediately got stuck in! The quantities are generous and have found they are locally available which is great, and these will be something we definitely purchase again. They loved that the fruit actually looked like fruit, and although dried, were still tasty and juicy. My 6 year old who is a super fussy eater found the cranberries a tad sour for him, however my 3 year old picked them out as his favourite! I’m quite fond of the pineapple – and dried pineapple is not a common dried fruit – or something my kids would have in their lunch boxes normally – so that was a definite hit too! We love that you can reseal the packs – which will be handy to take on family bike rides and other outings!
