These days you’re probably working from home or spending a little more time watching TV on your couch. Since we’re sticking to staying inside, we’re constantly grazing. Stop opening and reopening the pantry hoping new food magically appears. If you’re getting sick of the same old snacks every single day then let Blossom help you get creative in the kitchen!
Everyone remembers loving Goldfish® crackers as a kid, but we elevated the snack that smiles back to a whole new level. We incorporated Goldfish® into a delicious and healthy “sushi” rollup. It’s a great afternoon snack to refuel and finish off those projects before you clock out for the day. We even included Goldfish® crackers on our favorite cheeseboard spread.
Don’t let yourself stay in a snacking rut! Grab some Goldfish®, and let you inner child help you invent an entirely new snacking creation!
