Waukegan, Ill. (August 22, 2011) – Kids are now heading back to school and the transition out of summer mode can be difficult, especially for those who would rather play in the pool than practice their spelling. During the switch from home to school, parents can comfort kids by sneaking homemade snacks—inspired by Nielsen-Massey Vanillas products— into their backpacks.

Nielsen-Massey's Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Powder is a discreet, practical way to add extra flavor to some of childhood's classic dessert recipes. Give classroom cupcakes an extra punch of flavor by stirring a pinch of Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Powder into the batter. Take a brownie recipe to the next level by sprinkling Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Powder over the treat.

"Our Madagascar Bourbon Pure Vanilla Powder is extremely versatile and easy to use," said Beth Nielsen, chief culinary officer of Nielsen-Massey. "When school starts back up and schedules get crazy, using our vanilla powder can be an easy way to quickly enhance flavors."
