A snack tray with an assortment of nibbles offers delicious variety for every taste, and the HORMEL GATHERINGS Bold and Spicy Tray offers the perfect balance of fiery bites alongside milder options for a balanced snacking experience.
This tray simplifies group entertaining and snacking experiences by pairing a selection of jalapeño pepperoni and spicy salami, crackers, and Pepper Jack Cheese with Mild Cheddar for a smooth, creamy, and comforting experience to balance out the heat.
"The popularity of spicy food is on the rise with consumers, and we believe this tray, and particularly our jalapeño-infused pepperoni and spicy salami, are meeting this growing trend in lockstep," said Rhonda Ihrke, brand manager at Hormel Foods, in a press release.
