Beech Nut Yogurt Nibbles By Kakoa on Jan 07, 2010 - Updated Oct 15, 2011

My husband's aunt got these for our little girl because her grand daughter really liked them. Overall, these have good nutritional value for snacks and taste really good, but I don't think they are appropriate for the age they have listed on the bag.

The bag says they are good for 12 month and up toddlers, but I would not give them to my little girl as they are. She was about 10 months old when we received these and I broke them up into 4 small pieces before I let her grab for them. I decided not to give them to her for a while after that because it was so tedious to break them all up. When she was 12 months I tried to give them to her again, but whole. She ate a few without a problem and then started to choke on one. I ended up breaking the rest of the bag in half before I gave them to her.

The problem with this snack is that they have a somewhat hard outside shell that is made up of yogurt. Inside, they are made up of puffy rice. While the inside is quickly dissolvable in the mouth, the outside takes a little while to dissolve. Well, kids don't really want to wait for their snack to dissolve! When I broke them into pieces the puffy part was exposed and helped them to dissolve faster.

Overall, I did like these snacks and will buy them again when my little girl gets older. Once she has some more teeth and can crunch them easily I will feel more comfortable giving them to her.
