Tried It Tuesday: #PEZHedz Review & #GIVEAWAY


Disclosure: I was compensated for this post by PEZ. All opinions are my own. 

I am linking up with Sara at Lakeshore Runner for Tried it Tuesday!



PEZ!  You know PEZ!  We have all eaten Pez at some time in our lives.  You know, the different character containers with a pellet of colored sugar candy inside.  You unwrap the paper and load them up inside the container.  



Well now, they have new PEZ Hedz!  PEZ Hedz are premium soft candy chews made in delicious flavors and fun designs, like those you would see on top of a PEZ dispenser.  



But what makes them different from every other candy out there?  PEZ Hedz are vegetarian, gelatin free, 99% fat free, and gluten free.  Best of all, no artificial colors!  I haven't talked about it too much but we are experimenting with giving the kids less food coloring to see what impact it has on S' epilepsy!


PEZ Hedz can be purchased online at pez.com or at these local retailers: Cost Plus World Market, Rue 21 (Hello Kitty only), It's Sugar, Dylan's Candy (Hello Kitty only), and select Walgreens, Toys R Us (Hello Kitty only), and Dollar Tree (Bearz only) stores.  You can find more info on PEZ on Facebook and Twitter. 




Lots of fun flavors!  The Hello Kitty Hedz feature a strawberry flavor and a raspberry with blueberry flavor, and the Bear Hedz feature a cherry/blueberry/strawberry flavor, a grape/lemon/strawberry flavor and a peach/raspberry/strawberry flavor.


S LOVES the Hello Kitty ones!  You may notice that even though they say they are gluten free, the ingredient list contains wheat syrup.  Well, here is what Pez has to say: "PEZ Hedz are gluten free. Although they contain wheat syrup, the gluten has been removed. PEZ Hedz are peanut and tree nut free. PEZ Hedz may contain traces of milk as they are produced in a factory that produces products that contain milk."


They don't get stuck in your teeth at all.  They kind of have the consistency of a soft not sticky taffy.  Almost like if a marshmallow and gummy had a baby.  Because these are delicious and because I will eat all the candy if they stay in my house, I am giving away 1 bag of the Bear and 1 bag of the Hello Kitty #PEZHedz for you to try!

  9. I remember eating Pez, but I don't remember the dispensers specifically. They were usually holiday themed, like a Vampire because we got them for Halloween, etc.
