Ingredients
We will only be using three ingredients:
- Allergy-friendly cookies (1 to 5 cookies per person)
- Allergy-friendly butter or spread (1 Tbsp per cookie), and
- Allergy-friendly sprinkles (As desired per cookie).
Given the context here is peanut and tree nuts free snacks, we will ensure that all the products suggested are peanut and tree nuts free.
Specific products and their details are shared at the end for your convenience and dietary preferences. Feel free to substitute based on your allergy and intolerance needs.
Unless otherwise specified, the manufacturing practices of some of these manufacturers have not been independently verified by Flappd Canada.

Steps
- Preparation: Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a plate or tray and place your Allergy Friendly Cookie on it. We chose FreeYum Double Chocolate Soft Baked Cookie—because let's face it, kids just love chocolate!
- Spread the butter: With a butter knife, spread about 1 tbsp of Wowbutter Creamy Spread smoothly over each cookie.
- Sprinkle Away: Now comes the fun part! Let the kids go wild, sprinkling allergy-friendly sprinkles over the layer of Wowbutter.
- Chill or Serve: If you like your treats a bit more set, pop the plate in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes. Otherwise, feel free to enjoy it immediately. For those kids who prefer to enjoy more of the chocolate taste than sugar, freezing would be a better option.
- Enjoy: There you have it! A simple, allergy-friendly treat that's ready to eat.
