Smuckers Blog Review

One of the challenges that I found myself facing as the mother of a child in full day kindergarten is lunch. Yes, yes I know everyone says to make it the night before so that I'm not rushing around in the morning. That's a nice idea in theory or perhaps I should say if you have a relatively empty refrigerator so that you can fit a lunch box in it or if your child doesn't change his mind about what he will and won't eat a bunch of times.

Sure, I could put everything else in the box and just leave the sandwich in the fridge and throw it and the ice pack in the box the next morning, but a lot of times that's easier said than done particularly with soccer, Tae Kwon Do and homework. Personally, I sometimes don't like sandwiches that are made the night before because the jelly leaves soggy spots in the bread.

Smuckers has tried to solve this dilemma by coming up with Uncrustables. Actually they've been around for a while. I remember seeing them on a morning showa couple years ago. Basically they took the things that kids like best about PB&J and put it together. White bread, strawberry or grape jelly, peanut butter and of course no crusts! The sandwich is pinched closed all around the edges. They also come frozen.

Running late? Just grab one out of the freezer and toss it in the bag. You don't have to worry about grabbing an ice pack either since it's frozen and can double as one. They'll be defrosted by the time you're ready to eat them and there's no soggy spots either.

My kids really liked them. I'll confess that I may have eaten one too and also enjoyed it. It tastes just like a good PB&J should. Nice thick peanut butter. They now have a whole wheat version too.

Right now Smuckers is giving away packages of their Uncrustables. That's right they are giving away free sandwiches as part of the 80,000 sandwich giveaway. Go to their website to receive a 4 pack.

“I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Smucker’s Uncrustables and received a sample to facilitate my candid review. In addition, Mom Central sent me a gift card to thank me for taking the time to participate.”
