The products are dairy free, nut free, certified kosher, free from the top 8 allergens and made of only high quality, natural, ingredients. 

We were able to try Key Lime Pie, Snickerdoodle, Edible Brownie Batter, Mint Chocolate Fudge, and Creamy Vanilla Bean to create our snack attack recipes.  We look forward to trying Red Velvet Cake batter and Pumpkin Pie seasonally (yum!). 

Most of the ingredients we used are things many of us have around the house: 

• Bananas, Apples and other fresh fruit
• Vanilla Yogurt
• Vanilla wafers and chocolate sandwich cookies
• Whipped Cream
• Sprinkles, chocolate chips, coconut, gummy worms, and other dessert toppings
• Bagels
• Salty snacks like pretzels and potato chips

		DELIGHTED by Dirt Prep- Place 2 chocolate sandwich cookies into a ziploc baggie for each child.  Have them crush the cookies with their fists or another tool (coffee mugs or rolling pins work) Scoop Mint Chocolate Fudge, Edible Brownie Batter or Snickerdoodle into the bottom of a glass or small serving bowl.  Top with crushed chocolate sandwich cookies. Add a dollop of whipped cream and 1-2 gummy worms.
		Key Lime Pie Dessert Cups In a small serving bowl, spoon some graham cracker crumbs on the bottom of the bowl.  Add a scoop of DELIGHTED by desserts Key Lime Pie dessert spread Add a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla yogurt Sprinkle with coconut flakes and/or more graham cracker crumbs as desired.
		Apple Slice Donuts Core and slice apples into half inch slices, representative of a donut.  Let your kids choose which dessert spread to "ice" the apple slice with and sprinkle with dessert toppings of choice. Our Addy loved sprinkles and chocolate chips!
		Mini Strawberry Shortcake Wafers Use a piping bag and tip or cut the corner of a ziploc baggie to pipe Creamy Vanilla Bean dessert spread onto the flat side of a vanilla wafer.  Top with strawberry slices.

We loved that the kids enjoyed building their own snack creations. Creating different combinations ended up being an activity as much as it was snack time! 

Paylen also created a banana split creation using banana slices, vanilla wafers, whipped cream and coconut sprinkles. 

We also have a recipe for chaos- showing up late to tape a "cooking" segment, while 4 hungry kids wait, with no tripod.  Watch it in all it's glory here: Macaroni Kid Roanoke Snack Attack Video You'll feel so much better about yourself!  During this video we show you how to create the ideas above and share other ideas such as dipping thin and salty  chips and crackers in the Edible Batter Brownie, Adding apples and granola to the snickerdoodle, and creating a fruit tray with a variety of fruits and DELIGHTED by desserts dips.  You'll hear why 3 moms love DELIGHTED by desserts and the kid's favorites. Spoiler- the Mint Chocolate Fudge and Snickerdoodle containers were EMPTY by the time we finished! 

DELIGHTED by desserts can be found locally at the Bedford Walmart Supercenter and a few spots in Lynchburg.  I know I also purchased Pumpkin Pie this past fall in Roanoke.  We'll update you when we find more in Roanoke!  Check for a location near you here.
