Bunny bites
Two new flavors of Annie’s Homegrown bunny crackers deliver savory and sweet satisfaction. White Cheddar Bunnies bring a cheesy nuance and crisp crunch to snack time; chocolate-chip Bunny Grahams will quell sweet cravings. Both are made with organic flour. Kids will love the tiny size (each “bunny” is about the size of a penny) while grown-ups will appreciate the fact that each bunny has about 3 calories. A 7.5-ounce box costs about $2.70-$3 at Jewel, Dominick’s and Whole Foods. Treasure Island and Wild Oats carry the Cheddar only.
Juicy twist
Tasters liked the creative combinations of four new Tropicana Pure 100 percent fruit juices: mango-orange, pomegranate-blueberry, triple berry (strawberry, blackberry, raspberry) and Valencia orange. Each 1-liter bottle is $3.50-$4 at Wild Oats in Evanston and Hinsdale and Whole Foods Markets.
