Welcome back to my blog, foodie friends! I’m Merry and I’m all about sharing easy-to-make recipes for your family.
Anyone who knows me knows that I love to snack… and so does the rest of my family. However, store-bought, packaged or restaurant purchased snacks get quite pricey fast. Plus, I hate the fact that I don’t know exactly what ingredients go into what I’m eating. This is why I put together some of the best top secret “copycat” recipes out there!
What is your favorite snack food that you wish you could make at home? Tell us in the comments and we’ll create it or find it for you!
What Are Copycat Recipes?
Copycat recipes are recipes developed by talented recipe developers (mainly food bloggers), that are “copycats” of favorite store-bought/restaurant recipes. The best part about them? They’re homemade and you’ll know exactly what ingredients they contain (and in my humble opinion, they tend to taste better!).
Saving Money on Snacks!
These top secret copycat recipes aren’t so secret because I have scoured the web and found some of the best ones out there! Making snacks at home with copycat recipes is not only cost effective but also allows you to create unique snacks that everyone will love. Plus copycat recipes are designed to replicate the flavor of restaurant-style snacks so you won’t miss out by making them at home.
