Taste Test: New Snacks to Spice Up Your Kid's Lunchbox

Crispy Green Crispy Cantaloupe

Worried that your lovingly-packed apples and bananas are ending up in the trash? Crispy Green turns everyday fruit into an all-natural, freeze-dried snack that seems like something an astronaut would eat. What could be cooler? Flavors include apples, mangoes, Asian pears, bananas, pineapples and the latest -- Crispy Cantaloupe. Like all the varieties, Crispy Cantaloupe is made with 100 percent fruit and nothing else. I’ll admit the airy texture took some getting used to (it reminded me of cotton candy) but the flavor of fresh melon was all there. (36-pack bag, $40.84 from Crispy Green)
