THUNDER BAY – LIVING – It’s cold outside. Winter weather means skating, sliding, snowmobiling, ice fishing and other winter activities. Winter also means it is time for fast and tasty snacks.
Foodland Ontario has a tasty treat that will go perfectly with a hot cup of hot chocolate.
Serve this cookie with vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of Ontario maple syrup. Use Ontario apples such as Cortland, Ida Red or Red Prince.
