SNICKERS™ Shakers Seasoning Blend is a brand new product that is packed with cocoa, peanuts, and caramel flavor – just like your favorite candy bar. It’s the perfect way to make even the simplest cookies more special. You can use it for more than just cookies, too! Try SNICKERS™ Shakers Seasoning Blend on drinks (like hot chocolate, YUM), as well as ice cream, other types of cookies, milkshakes, yogurt, pancakes, waffles, and more to enhance the flavor profile.If you want to make your cookies from scratch, try updating your traditional snickerdoodle recipe with SNICKERS™ Shakers Seasoning Blend! To do this, substitute the sugar and cinnamon mixture that you usually roll the cookie dough balls into with about 4-1/2 tablespoons of SNICKERS™ Shakers Seasoning Blend, and bake as usual.One last thing to consider – these cookies are so simple, so why not encourage the kids help you out? If you tell them they’re for Santa, they’ll be even more enthusiastic to assist you in the kitchen! This holiday season, do yourself a favor – don’t make things too hard on yourself.
