Holiday Snacks from URC!

Christmas is just around the corner and the folks from URC (Universal Robina Corporation) knows exactly why snacking should be a big part of it. From family reunions to friends catching up, a drink or two is essential, and so is a bowl of Jack N Jill snacks. 

Unbeknownst to a lot of people, you can actually jazz it up and make it a bit gourmet if you please. They recommended a few recipes you can try at the comforts of your own home!

Piattos Nachos 

3-4 packs of regular sized Piattos Cheese (my preferred flavor but you can choose Nacho Pizza instead)

2 cups grated cheese (cheddar or quickmelt)

1 Jar of Salsa

Optional: Sauteed Ground Beef, Pork, beans (boiled til soft), Jalapeños, Black Olives, Onions, Sour Cream, more tomatoes. You can just put chips on a bowl, put cheese and melt it, then put salsa and other components. Serve immediately!

Cream-O Cake

For the sweet tooth, you can do a lot of things with your favorite cookie brand Cream-O. Grab 10 packs of it, separate the cookies from the cream, ground it up and mix it with 1 and a half cup of milk. Layer it alternately with the cream, steam it for 5 minutes (though I prefer mine frozen) add the remaining layers later on. Add a scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream or just eat it straight out of the container. Enjoy!

Without cooking skills, you can make a lot of things with these products, and yes, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to make it work. All of these are available in your local grocer or supermarket. You can also get it from your food and grocery apps, it's all about making your what you want to happen. All from our friends at URC! 

More Options: POTATO CORNER Announces Return of LOOPYS and HARVEST CHIPS

The Philippines favorite fry brand POTATO CORNER recently announced the return of two of their most fun tater cuts, the Potato Corner Loopys and Harvest Chips. We all know them for having those hot, fresh off the fryer flavored French Fries, and this time, they want to give you options which you can mix with your usual lovely fare.

The Loopys are these potato wonders that are cut like twirls have more real estate to put your favorite flavors on, so aside from getting you more filled and satisfied, you have an intense flavor profile as the signature Potato Corner flavors cover it.

The Harvest Chips on the other hand are very special. Aside from it being a potato product, it comes from produce planted and harvested from Benguet. They did this with Gawad Kalinga, an NGO that helps develop communities. With this cooperation, they are able to freshly fry thinner, crispier chips, which you can also mix with the other cut types and snack products.

Potato Corner has this in SOLO sizes or even TERA MIX. To give you an idea, you have the option to mix this up with the Crunchy Chicken Pops, and have Loopys or Harvest Chips together with it. Check out the social channels of Potato Corner if you want to know more about it!
