"Peanut butter and chocolate are classic flavors that make a great combination," said Kent Spalding, Barbara's Vice President of Marketing.  "Today's consumers, especially moms, are looking for all-natural products without the 'bad stuff' like high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors, preservatives and hydrogenated oils.  With the new additions to our popular Puffins and Snackimals lines, we're excited to offer families more delicious options that are free of unhealthy ingredients."

Each bowl of Peanut Butter & Chocolate Puffins cereal provides three grams of fiber and 20 percent of the daily recommend calcium intake, with only one gram of fat and six grams of sugar per serving.  Barbara's signature cereal line, Puffins, includes five other natural, wheat-free varieties:  Original, Cinnamon, Peanut Butter, Gluten Free Multigrain and Gluten Free Honey Rice.

Additionally, the new Double Chocolate Snackimals and Peanut Butter Snackimals cookies are a guilt-free treat for snacking at home, school or work.  The Double Chocolate flavor is packed with natural cocoa and real chocolate chips, while the Peanut Butter variety is brimming with natural peanut butter goodness and pure peanut butter chips.
