Pillsbury is associated with an array of premade bakery products that are ready to be popped into the oven for fresh consumption, but its seeking to expand into a new market area with the launch of the Pillsbury ready-to-eat Snack Bars. The snacks come in two varieties including Birthday Cake and Chocolate Fudge Brownie, which both come immediately ready for consumption without any baking required. The Birthday Cake variety is infused with confetti chips and a drizzle of icing on top, while the Chocolate Fudge Brownie is paired with milk chocolate chips through and a chocolate drizzle on top.
The Pillsbury ready-to-eat Snack Bars are being rolling out in boxes of six individually wrapped bars and contain just 100 calories each.
