Hillshire Snacking Small Plates
Tuscan Flair offered perfect portions with flavorful options, taking my palate on a European journey. It includes barrel-smoked natural chicken breast, Monterey Jack cheese with garlic and herbs, amaretto-flavored chocolate almonds, and rosemary and olive-oil-flavored crisps. Simply put, Tuscan Flair is the ultimate snack: salty, sweet, and good. The Hot Calabrese Salame with Natural Gouda Cheese and Toasted Rounds provides an impromptu charcuterie board for one without all the fuss. This small plate paires well with white wine. Life seems better with crunchy toast topped with fresh cheese.

Patti LaBelle Banana Pudding
It’s not your mama’s banana pudding, but it might be the best store-bought brand currently on the market. The vanilla wafer topping and the crumbly crust succinctly situated between smooth layers of whipped cream and banana pudding comes cold and ready to devour. This sweet goodness causes an addiction after the third bite—beware. Add sliced fresh bananas for the full experience and to satisfy nagging cravings.
