SIDEPIECE cookies and frosting are a functional food product that draws inspiration from a classic 90s treat to provide consumers with a better-for-you way to enjoy it as adults. The product pays homage to Dunkaroos with a serving of cookies and frosting, but sees the recipe reimagined with healthful ingredients that don't rely on unwanted additives to achieve a satisfying taste and texture. Each pack of cookies and frosting comes in with 11-grams of fiber, 10-grams of protein and a modest four-grams of sugar to give the treat the perfect nutritional profile for enjoyment as a snack or a dessert.
SIDEPIECE cookies and frosting are expected to launch soon in three flavors including Chocolate Peanut Butter, Papi Churro and Birthday Behavior.
