Cookies United Introduces Bake Shop Bites Cookies United is changing the grab and go snacking category with its new line of Bake Shop Bites. Cookies United has been baking delicious bakery products for more than 50 years. With the ever- changing retail and buying trends of the population, the company knew it had to evolve its product line. Instead of re-cre- ating its already amazingly delicious products, it changed how it now offers them … and the Bake Shop Bites line was born! Bake Shop Bites are individually packaged twin packs. These are not your average chocolate chip cookies. The Bake Shop Bites are some of the compa- ny's most beloved, delectable recipes. The Macaroon is nothing short of an amazing thing to bite into – lightly crispy outside with a moist coconut bite on the inside, and of course it's dipped and drizzled in dark chocolate. The Peanutter is for the peanut butter lover in all of us – a crispy vanilla cookie shell filled with smooth peanut butter, enrobed in chocolate and topped with real diced peanut chunks. The Brownie is like no brownie you have ever had before – a deliciously moist chocolate brownie enrobed in even more chocolate and finished with crushed brownie crumbs. The "S" Cookie is the compa- ny's take on a classic Italian breakfast cook- ie with a new choco- late drizzled twist. All Bake Shop Bites come with two pieces in each package, mak- ing the package not just ready to go, but portion control perfection. The Bake Shop Bites package design has gotten rave reviews. They all have a distinctly recognizable white color palette and a homemade feel to pay homage back to the classic bakeries these products originally came from. The days of having to go to your local bakery for quality bakery products are over. Bake Shop Bites brings the bakery on the go in your busy life.

Peanut Products from Bell Plantation Bell Plantation was born of one simple charge – to develop new and different products to deal with a large surplus of stored peanuts. From this charge a star was born: PB2 Powdered Peanut Butter. In removing 85 percent of the fat by pressing the roasted peanuts, Bell Plantation developed a tasty alter- native to traditional peanut butters, and people have taken notice! PB2 is pop- ular with athletes for its ability to add delicious flavor and additional protein to meals. Chefs appreciate the ease of use in recipes both savory and sweet. Anyone watching their calo- ries or fat intake can appreciate the flavor of peanut but- ter without the guilt. Following in the footsteps of PB2 is Chocolate PB2, which adds premium cocoa to the mix for a rich chocolate peanut flavor that is absolutely delec- table. Chocolate PB2 only tastes sinful, though, as it is just as healthful as the original PB2. Bell Plantation realized early on that the roasted peanut oil that had been pressed from the peanuts was too deli- cious to lose. Its Unfiltered Extra Virgin Gourmet Roasted Peanut Oil has a rich nutty flavor that tastes great on every- thing from vegetables to chicken or fish. It is a delicious addition to recipes, as a drizzle on vegetables or salads, or for sautéing to give foods a rich roasted peanut flavor. The possibilities are end- less! Bell Plantation also recognizes that not everyone is looking for an alterna- tive to traditional peanut butters. That is why Bell Plantation also produces Plantation 1883 Peanut Butter in both smooth and crunchy. Plantation 1883 is all natural and sweetened with a touch of molasses for an unbeatable flavor. In 2015, Bell Plantation introduced Plantation 1883 Chocolate, peanut butter with pre- mium chocolate. Decadent, delicious and decidedly delightful, Plantation 1883 Chocolate is destined to be your next peanut butter craving. One day, the company Chief Executive Officer was putting Plantation 1883 on his crackers and thought, "What if we could turn peanut butter into crackers?" The result was Bell Plantation PB2thins, a crunchy, slightly sweet and totally addictive cracker that packs the full creamy taste of peanut butter into 100 calories with 3 grams of protein per all natural serving. Bell Plantation also produces PB2thins in a gluten free version that is just as tasty as the original. As the Bell Plantation family of products continues to grow, you can count on its promise that when you buy Bell Plantation products, you are choos- ing flavorful healthy foods that are good for you and your family.
