Crock-Pot Classics easy but not tasty

Carolyn: Apparently, even kids don't find the idea of eating mice appealing. That's the only way to explain why Annie's chose bunnies rather than cheese-loving mice as the shape of its otherwise more natural alternative to Pepperidge Farm Goldfish.

All three flavors are made with organic wheat flour, but fortunately only the Ranch tastes like it. The Whole Wheat Bunnies sport a realistic (for bunnies, at least) brown color and taste like a not-unpleasant cross between Pepperidge Farm Goldfish and Nabisco Wheat Thins. Annie's original and BBQ Cheddar Bunnies share the cheesy taste and orange hue of Goldfish but lack their puffed bellies (perhaps because the bunnies are also eating healthier than the Goldfish?).
