Rosh Chodesh Lollies

I don't give the kids lollipops because of the food coloring, sugar and corn syrup. Not to mention the myriad other unintelligible ingredients and the lolly sitting on the teeth for some time.

I found organic, naturally colored lollies and bought a couple of packs. But I never could bring myself to give them to the kids because they look just like the regular ones, and they would become confused.

But recently, I found these cuties:

Sugar crystals! Only sugar and nothing else, and a fun shape. I bought a bunch and am planning to give them only for Rosh Chodesh.
The kids were thrilled!


There is still the issue of their teeth being in contact with sugar for some time, but once a month, I think it's a reasonable treat.

  2. I don't know those types. I'm guessing they have food coloring, though...
