My favorite spot in Frisco to find new brands is Sprouts…their aisles have the best selection of packaged organics foods and make it easy to avoid hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup. But sometimes their prices are higher than say Target or Wal-Mart. I was quite pleased to find the brand Back to Nature in the cookie/cracker section with an in-store coupon for buy a cookie package, get a cracker package free.
Tried it and loved it! The Ore0-style cookies were good, and the Sunflower Basil crackers were very flavorful. I then found that Target also carries the brand and tried their peanut butter and cream cookies. As my kids say, “its way better than Nutter Butter.” I realize that the cookies still have plenty of fat and calories, but NO HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP and NO HYDROGENATED OILS.
The brand uses 100% recycled cardboard for its boxes (55% post consumer) and they support the Rainforest Alliance and the Nature Conservatory.
The lines they offer are Cookies, Crackers, Nuts, Trail Mix, Granola, Juice, and Pastas. They can be found at most major grocery stores, as well as Target and Wal-Mart. Or you can buy through Amazon.

Sounds like a good find. I’m always looking for healthier versions that still taste good. I’ll have to give them a try.
