KANSAS CITY — A variety of new snacking options are making their way to retail locations across the United States.Blue Diamond Growers is expanding its line of flavored almonds with the introduction of honey butter flavored almonds, which are inspired by Korean honey butter chips.“Honey butter almonds were proudly developed by Blue Diamond’s R&D scientists to create the perfect flavor balance,” said Maya Erwin, vice president of innovation and R&D, Blue Diamond Growers. “Our goal is to ensure that our consumers never have to search outside our products to find every flavor category they crave. These snack almonds satisfy the sweet and salty flavor blend beloved by so many.”Frozen brand Veggies Made Great expanded its line of snack offerings with the introduction of chocolate chip blondie bites, formulated with chickpeas, zucchini and butternut squash. Each bite contains 70 calories and 6 grams of sugar.“Our new chocolate chip blondie bites take our portfolio of sweet offerings beyond breakfast,” said Elliot Huss, chief executive officer for Veggies Made Great. “As with all of our products, vegetables are the first ingredient, and they are also under 100 calories and low in sugar making them a perfect afternoon snack or dessert option that you can feel good about.”St. Louis-based brand Crispy Edge launched its line of frozen potstickers, which are available in Buffalo chicken, cheddar and beef, chorizo date, plant-based lemongrass chicken and traditional flavors. The potstickers are fully cooked and can be heated up in a variety of ways, including the oven, microwave or air fryer.“Crispy Edge Gourmet Potstickers were born out of a family tradition, where I used to experiment making them in the kitchen of my childhood home with my grandfather,” said David Dresner, co-founder and chief executive officer. “My continued passion to create the best gourmet potstickers, later led to the creation of the Crispy Edge restaurant in St. Louis. The positive feedback we received from diners was so strong that we decided to develop a product line for retail, which will enable us to reach as many consumers as possible. We are very excited to partner with KeHE for distribution and the growing number of retail stores we are in so far. We can’t wait for consumers to try our globally inspired flavors.”Click to view new products.
