Try this figure-friendly Super Bowl snack

Chef Annmarie Chelius of Ocean City, educator at Atlantic Cape Community College’s Academy of Culinary Arts, shares a recipe for a simple and sweet Super Bowl Sunday snack that’s both kid- and figure-friendly.

Strawberries and Cream with Crunchy Garnish

Ingredients:

1 quart strawberries with stems, washed

4 ounces low-fat cream cheese

4 ounces vanilla Greek yogurt

3 tablespoons honey

1 teaspoon vanilla

2 cups crushed garnish: Grape Nuts cereal, Rice Krispies, graham crackers, etc.*

Method:

In a large bowl, whip the cream cheese, honey and vanilla. Fold in the Greek yogurt.

Dip strawberries in the cream mixture.

Place healthy cereal/graham crackers in a plastic bag and “crush” mixture using hands, a pan or a rolling pin. (Home chefs can substitute garnish with any healthy cereal or snack of their choice.)

Carefully dip strawberries in the crunchy garnish.

Place each strawberry in a paper cup or cupcake liner to serve to guests.
