Snack tips & FAQ

Cool completely before storing. Use airtight containers; many bites keep 2–3 days refrigerated. Freeze doughs and bake fresh when possible.

Use oat or almond flour for gluten-free options; flax or chia eggs for vegan swaps; soy-free spreads available for nut allergies.

Double recipes for gatherings; buy pantry staples in bulk and use seasonal fruit to reduce cost.
