We were recently sent a free bag of the new All Natural Necco wafers to try.  I was excited to learn that the New England Confectionery Company was willing to forgo the use of High Fructose Corn Syrup as well as artificial colors and flavors, so I signed up quickly for the opportunity via TwitterMoms.

Have I've mentioned before that I'm slowly becoming a tree hugging hippie freak as of late?  Yeah, I believe I have.

I LOVE sugar candies.   I could eat an entire roll of Necco wafers in about 2.2 seconds.  Well, except for the pink ones because they taste like Pepto Bismol and I OD'd on Pepto when I was 4ish and had to go to the hospital.  *ahem* A story for another day.

I've gotta be honest with you.  I try to avoid HFCS and artificial colors like the plague, but I was worried that changing the standard formula would somehow ruin these little bits of sugary-quasi-evil-but-oh-so-goodness.  Kinda like when Coke tried changing their recipe with "Coke Classic."  That didn't go over so good, remember?

I was pleasantly surprised to find that I LOVED the all natural wafers.  More so than the original.  The consistency is the same.  The flavors are almost...well, more flavorful.  In a really, really good way.  Especially the white ones.  And the chocolate-only packs?  Those are my favorites.

My original plan was to hand some of these out for trick-or-treat on Halloween.  But we passed them out at our annual pumpkin party over the weekend and they are all gone.  I heard the same review over and over: YUM.  These are better than the originals.

So, everyone in Mommycosm gives the all natural Necco wafers two thumbs WAY up.  Check them out.

There are seven Necco wafer colors/flavors.  Can you name them?

(Disclaimer: As stated above, I received a bag of wafers for free.  To try.  My review is honest and I received no other compensation for this post.  How's that FTC?)
