Chef Tips

“Little treat” culture is booming on social media. With rising living costs, people are turning to small, inexpensive treats for mood boosts. From cakes to cocktails, offer your consumers instant gratification with delicious treats inspired by these ideas from your Conagra Foodservice team.

    • COFFEE- AND TEA-INFUSED DESSERTS:

      Coffee and tea flavors have been taking center stage in desserts lately with latte, mocha, chai, matcha and Earl Grey infusions becoming dessert stars. Try coating Angie’s BOOMCHICKAPOP® Sweet and Salty Kettle Corn in chai-tea-infused white chocolate to create an innovative treat bound to captivate consumers.

    • BLOOMING FLAVORS:

      With more people seeking floral flavors, now is the time to offer up exactly what they want with a yeasted donut filled with orange blossom-infused Snack Pack® Vanilla Pudding, dipped in dark chocolate glaze and garnished with cardamom-candied DAVID® Sunflower Kernels. It’s a sophisticated individual-sized dessert that’s sure to satisfy this growing market.

    • REVAMPED CLASSICS:

      With built-in popularity, classic desserts are a great way to test the single-serve waters. To make your offering unique, try customizing the toppings or fillings. Stuff churros with Snack Pack® Lemon Pudding, coat them in sugar and lemon zest, then top with toasted meringue for an irresistible twist on lemon meringue pie.

    • DRIPPING IN DECADENCE:

      Create every consumer’s new guilty pleasure with a handheld dessert calzone inspired by Mexican hot chocolate. Fill a pizza dough pocket with chili-infused Snack Pack® Chocolate Pudding and mini marshmallows. Finish with a dusting of powdered sugar and top with Reddi-wip® Real Cream Whipped Topping for a delicious reward that customers can enjoy anywhere, any time.

    • LET THEM EAT CAKE:

      Bite-sized versions of cake are the perfect mini indulgence for your customers. Treat them to a decadent tiered petit four with brown butter cake, butterscotch mousse—made with Snack Pack® Butterscotch Pudding and Reddi-wip® Extra Creamy Whipped Topping—and salted caramel buttercream. Add a fun crunch with chocolate-coated DAVID® Sunflower Kernels.

Easy for you to create. EASIER FOR CUSTOMERS TO LOVE.

Conagra Foodservice products help you put a signature spin on the fun, enticing treats that your customers are loving on social media.
