Nabisco recently expanded its Teddy Grahams lineup with the addition of a soft and chewy new snack called Teddy Soft Bakes. While the new snacks boast the same adorable teddy bear shape, the chewy, cake-like texture is delicious alternative to the traditionally crunchy treat.
The new Teddy Soft Bakes are bear-shaped snacks made from a mixture of milk, eggs, flour and other familiar ingredients. The result is a fluffy, cake-like texture on the outside and a creamy chocolate or vanilla filling on the inside. The snacks come in single-serve portions and are free from high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavors and artificial colors.
Described by the company as "more than a treat," the fluffy texture and surprise filling "provide moments of surprise and discovery" for children of all ages.
