Mrs. T’s is rolling out Snack Pierogies, a new line of golden, bite-sized pierogies designed specifically for air fryer preparation. Created as a quick solution for busy parents to provide children with something tasty to munch on after school, sporting events or other in-between meal occasions, the product delivers bold flavors and the convenience and satisfaction that modern families demand when time is short, but expectations are high.
Available in four varieties: Cheddar Sour Cream & Onion (a blend of cheddar cheese, tangy sour cream and onion, and whipped potatoes); 5 Cheese (cheeses folded into creamy whipped potatoes); Cheddar Ranch Seasoned with Bacon (Cheddar paired with ranch-seasoned whipped potatoes and a hint of smoky bacon); Jalapeño Popper (jalapeños, cheddar and cream cheese blended with whipped potatoes).
“After successful limited distribution, we knew we had something special,” said Alyssa Panzarella, the Shenandoah, Pennsylvania-based company’s director of marketing. ”Snack Pierogies are exactly what busy parents have been looking for – substantial enough to satisfy their teens and simple enough for them to prepare on their own. Now, we’re excited to bring this flavorful, bite-sized solution to even more families across the United States.”
Mrs. T’s Jalapeño Popper Snack Pierogies are currently available exclusively at Weis retail stores in the Harrisburg and Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania markets. Distribution will expand into the freezer cabinets of other retailers late this summer. Each bag contains approximately 50 bite-sized pierogies offered at a suggested retail price of $6.49. Preparation time about eight minutes in an air fryer.
About the Producer
In 1952, Ted Twardzik Sr. dreamed of starting a food company inspired by his mother’s pierogy recipe. He remembered how popular the Polish dumplings were at church festivals and thought people would be excited to purchase them supermarkets and other food stores year-round. Later that year, Ted sold the very first pierogy samples to his local grocery store and to honor his mother, Mary Twardzik, his company was named Mrs. T’s Pierogies. Now, more than 70 years later, Mrs. T’s is the largest producer of frozen pierogies in the USA, turning out approximately 600 million of them per annum.
