Are these messy to eat as finger food?
Have you tried freezing these?

Hi Terra. yes these can be a little bit messy if your little one holds them in their hands for too long or plays with them. A great way to avoid any messy fingers would be to use a small fork instead of fingers to eat these. Unfortunately cream cheese does not freeze well, the texture would not be as good once thawed, so these are a fridge snack only.
