  1. Dried Fruit and Cheese Pairings: Enhance your picnic experience by creating an enticing fruit and cheese platter.

Enjoy the duo or stack atop artisanal crackers or sliced baguette.  The sweet and savory combination will tantalize your taste buds! Need some added crunch? Mariani Fruit Chips are also a great addition, so snack away!

  1. Trail Mix: Prepare a variety of fun trail mixes using different kinds of Mariani dried fruit, nuts, and chocolate chips.  Mix it up for sweet, salty and savory!  It's a convenient and healthy snack option that will keep you energized throughout your picnic adventures and walks around the park.

  1. Refreshing Fruit-Infused Water: Stay hydrated with a refreshing twist by infusing your water with Mariani dried fruit.  Add dried blueberries, mango or pineapple to your water bottle for a burst of natural flavor.  It's a simple yet enjoyable way to stay cool and hydrated during those hot summer days.

  1. Dessert Delights: No picnic is complete without a delicious dessert. Treat yourself to Mariani Fruit Chips dipped in melted dark chocolate or dip them in a creamy yogurt dip with a dash of maple syrup and vanilla. The crispy texture of the chips combined with the lusciousness of chocolate or yogurt creates a heavenly sweet indulgence.
