Product Snapshot: Students across the country have a new sweet treat to look forward to in the cafeteria and a la cart program. Otis Spunkmeyer announced the addition of a new Chocolate Chip Muffin to its Delicious Essentials foods. Made with whole grains and rich chocolate chips, the new Delicious Essentials muffins meet school nutrition standards, for both breakfast entrees and Smart Snacks, without sacrificing taste.

The perfect snack any time of day, the Chocolate Chip Muffins are available in a 2-ounce (1CGOE) size. The muffins are individually wrapped to stay fresh for 21 days at room temperature once thawed, making them convenient to store and serve for foodservice professionals. School Nutrition Professionals will be able to place orders starting in August.

These Chocolate Chip Muffins expand the broad offerings of Otis Spunkmeyer Delicious Essentials that are made for convenience, from frozen pre-portioned cookie dough to thaw and serve muffins, and meet even the most stringent school nutrition standards. Existing flavors of the Delicious Essentials muffins include Blueberry, Banana, Chocolate Chocolate Chip, Apple Cinnamon and Corn. Otis Spunkmeyer developed the Delicious Essentials portfolio to meet school requirements. These foods give students the best of both worlds—great tasting options that also meet the USDA Breakfast and Smart Snacks guidelines.
