Congratulations to Claire for winning our “Win a Year’s Supply of CocoPops” contest!
Claire’s favorite way to enjoy her CocoPops:
“I love having them topped with almond butter for a protein kick in the afternoon!”
Thank you everyone who participated. We learned Nutella was a popular choice, and we loved hearing all of your creative and scrumptious ideas.
You truly showed us that the possibilities are endless with CocoPops!
This contest is now closed.
CocoPops have taken our Nature’s Marketplace Depts by storm!
We first discovered the product and the cool machines that make them in New York City’s Chinatown 2 ½ years ago while searching for new ideas and trends. We’re always out looking for unique items to bring to our customers and add some fun to your weekly shopping trip. Nature’s is the place where we feature many products that come from smaller, cutting edge companies.
When we saw (or rather heard!) these machines, we loved the animation and the fresh production. Plus, the 16 calorie, 5mg sodium multi-grain cakes, made with rice, corn, wheat, and sea salt, are a great low-carb snacking alternative. So, we decided to test them out at our Pittsford, NY store to see what you would think. We soon found that the signature popping sound and fresh baked aroma had customers gathering to find out more and grab a taste.
What has been a pleasant surprise is how much fun our employees and customers have had finding creative ways to enjoy these versatile items.
For example, Barbara Schlierf at our Calkins Rd store in Rochester, NY has created cheeseburgers (to cut the carbs), pesto pizza, and crackers made with Wegmans Basting Oil and BBQ seasoning. Barbara asked me to share with you the secret to success here is using a brush to get an even spread of any oil or sauce.
Cathy Whitehead at our Bridgewater, NJ store created a list of over 30 toppings and recipe ideas! My vote for most creative is the idea of dipping them in an egg batter to make French toast!
