Stuffed Bread Bites

Cole's 'Middles' Boast Unconventional Fillings Like Mac & Cheese

Cole's Quality Foods, Inc. is now introducing stuffed bread snacks that it calls 'Middles' as a new addition to the frozen snack food aisle.

These snacks offer a range of savory, salty and sweet flavors by offering unconventional cheese-based fillings like Beer Cheese, Mac & Cheese and Sweet Cream Cheese. The six different varieties from Cole's include different bread types like plain bread, French toast, bagels and pretzels, each of which offers a unique taste and texture.

Although there are plenty of stuffed bread products on the market that are offered in full-sized formats, this one reformats the concept in a convenient handheld form that's ideal for on-the-go eating. For the utmost enjoyment, the heat-and-eat snacks may be warmed using a microwave or an oven.
