Annie's All Natural Honey Bunny Grahams
By: | Oct 14, 2008
I, like many others, enjoy a crunchy sweet ending to a meal or as a simple snack to get me through the day. However, finding a well balanced and tasty treat is not always easy. You can officially stop searching and start seeking out Annie's All Natural Honey Bunny Grahams. Each bunny shaped cracker is about the size of a Pepperidge Farm Whole Grain Cheddar Goldfish Crackers and tastes exactly like a good Graham Cracker should; subtly crunchy with a delightfully sweet honey taste infused into a wholesome wheat base.
The nutrition information for these guys is almost perfect. After munching on 30 little addicting cookies (30 grams), you will have consumed 130 calories, 4 grams of fat (6% of the RDA), no saturated fat or cholesterol, 160 mg of sodium (7% of the RDA), no fiber, only 6 grams of sugar and 2 grams of protein. Furthermore, each serving packs in 20% of the RDA for calcium.
The ingredient list is 75% organic and contains no additives or preservatives. So what exactly goes into these scrumptious rabbits? You'll find organic wheat flour, organic evaporated cane juice, expeller pressed vegetable oil, honey, organic corn flour, organic graham flour, calcium carbonate, sea salt, natural flavor and baking soda.
I paid $2.19 for a 7.5 ounce box of Annie's All Natural Bunny Grahams - Honey at Wal-Mart and will definitely buy these again (and soon because they are almost gone). If these little bunnies are not worthy of 5 kisses, I do not know what is! Annie's can rival Honey Maid Thin Crisps Grahams which isn't made with whole wheat flour. On a side note: Annie's Homegrown supports recycling, especially their 100% recycled boxes. They offer many free stickers/bumper stickers promoting going green, recycling and eating organic.

I love these too and so do my kids - the only problem is that they are so good it's hard to stop eating them. They also come in chocolate, chocolate chip and cinnamon flavors - the cinnamon is my favorite.
I agree with the hard to stop eating them part! lol
But are they truly "whole wheat?" I guess I need to do my homework and find out if wheat flour is the same as whole wheat flour...could be tricky labeling!
Stef, "whole wheat flour" is definitely different from "wheat flour." Wheat flour doesn't mean its 100% wheat, it just indicates there is wheat in there. Whole wheat indicates that it is all wheat and nothing else.
I still always wonder:
what is "natural flavor"?
Any guesses?

Tony- good question! I looked it up and found this on www.diet-blog.com.
According to the US Code of Federal Regulations*, a natural flavor or flavoring is:
...the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof, whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional.
I bought these not too long ago and I loved them. I like the reasonable serving size. I still need to try the other flavors.
I can't find these at Wal-Mart; where do you find them??
The were kind of in hte cookie isle, I guess you could say. They were by the other "healthy" brands of cookies like Kashi and Back to Nature. They are hard to find at Wal-Mart, I agree. Target almost always has them though!
