1 Mess-Free Kitchen Tip, 3 Tasty Toppings

August 06, 2017

It’s fun to let your imagination go wild in the kitchen, but it can also create a mess. Prep smart and save some clean-up time by using Ziploc® brand seal top bags to seal in ingredients while they get crushed. Because it’s more than a bag, it’s a mess-free crushing machine.

Keep crumbs from flying everywhere when crushing ingredients like nuts, candies, crackers or cookies. Here’s how:

1. Fill a Ziploc® brand bag with whole ingredients.

2. Press out the air, seal the bag, lay flat on a cutting board.

3. Crush with a rolling pin until crumbs reach desired size.

To amp up the flavor and add some crunch to your favorite recipes, get inspired by these tasty combinations.
