To add to the fun factor, all doughs can be formulated with natural colors. Additionally, they can be blended with low melt flakes for ice cream applications or manufactured shelf stable formulations for confections, trail mix or other applications.
Beyond chocolate chip cookie doughs and brownie doughs, the offering also extends too many other unique tastes and flavors, such as:
- Sugar Cookie, Oatmeal Cooke, Monster Cookie
