A special thanks to Triscuit for providing the Miss Frugal Mommy blog with the mentioned products for free in exchange for an honest review!
Triscuit has recently partnered with five amazing artisanal food producers to create exclusive products that are specifically designed for Original Triscuit crackers. I don’t know about you… but when I think about creating a plate of snacks for family and friends, I immediately think of Triscuit! They are a delicious cracker that goes with practically anything and the options are endless when it comes to topping them. I want to help inspire and share with you some creative snack ideas for your summer vacation. Take your snacking experience to the next level and express your creative side with Triscuit crackers and some delightful products from some amazing companies.
Orlando’s Wondermade’s Blackberry Marshmallow is unlike anything you have tasted before… I will never be able to consume a regular marshmallow again! These melt in your mouth marshmallows are overwhelmingly yummy and the perfect taste of blackberry flavor. Of course my children were eager to try a recipe out with these and we decided to indulge in this delicious and sweet treat!
Start with an Original Triscuit cracker, spread hazelnut spread on cracker, add a slice of banana, add Wondermade’s Blackberry Marshmallow, then finish with a second Triscuit cracker to create a sandwich. You will not believe how amazing and delicious this treat it, you simply have to try it for yourself. Say goodbye to the average smore and welcome this to the family, they are guaranteed to love what you have whipped up for a treat.
If you are feeling ambitious then I encourage you to toast your marshmallows first. I have a few smaller children whom would have made an incredibly sticky mess, otherwise I would have gone for it!
A Special Message From Wondermade
“By cramming pounds of ripe blackberries into every batch we’ve found a taste that works exceptionally well with the savory taste of a Triscuit, especially when paired with Nutella and a sliced banana. For an extra bonus be sure to toast the mallow first so you can create a wonder-filled savory s’mores.”
My husband is very fond of cheese and cracker dishes and no plate he creates is complete without a variety of olives. We were equally thrilled to pair some Triscuit crackers with some Detroit’s McClure’s Pickles’ Olive Tapenade. This perfect topping was created with all naturally cured green olives from California, McClures Pickles’ special brine recipe, garlic, lemon and rosemary. I could literally eat this stuff straight out of the jar… it is that good! If you are a fan of olives then you are going to love this tapenade. The flavor is outstanding and the texture is ideal, it is truly going to give you a sophisticated snack when paired with a Triscuit.
If you love to top your Triscuit crackers with something a bit more sweet, then I encourage you to try them with Brooklyn’s The Jam Stand’s Cherry Ginger Jam. This lovely company exclusively created a new Cherry Ginger Jam to pair with Triscuit crackers… so you know the results are going to be magnificent! I was very pleased with the texture of this jam… is it any surprise that the taste was absolutely delicious? This is such a great treat to add to your Triscuit crackers, a healthier dessert the entire family will love and enjoy.
I was so thrilled to discover that a local artisan was among the group of artisans that have teamed up with Triscuits! We consume a lot of honey in this house, I used it in my coffee and the kids love it on toast. I have always stuck to traditional honey and quite honestly didn’t realize there were so many other options available! Georgia’s Savannah Bee Company’s White Honey with Passion Fruit is yet again, another mouthwatering topping. This honey is so smooth and creamy! Savannah Bee Winter White Honey with Passion Fruit is naturally delicious because they only use the finest passion fruit. Savannah Bee spins together crystallized honey and exotic passion fruit, forming a smooth and delectable Passion Fruit Honey. This has completely opened my eyes up to a whole new world of honey and I am looking forward to enjoying this decedent treat all summer!
Summer sasuage has always been a Christmas tradition for us, I gift one to my husband each year and we enjoy it that morning as a family. I was excited to break tradition and enjoy Portland Oregon’s Olympia Provisions’ Summer Sausage because I could really enjoy this all year long! This particular topping choice was devoured before my very eyes when shared with my family. The summer sausage is tangy and mildly spiced with mustard and garlic, wax dipped, and completely delicious. Fried up on the stove top and placed on top of a Triscuit cracker, along with your favorite cheese and you have a masterpiece!
