FAQs

How Far in Advance Can I Prepare Them?

Timing is key when preparing Shark Snack Cups, especially if you're making them for a special event. Here's a quick guide:

• Same Day: Ideally, make them on the same day you're serving them. This keeps the popcorn crisp and the gummies fresh.
• One Day Before: You can prepare them a day in advance, but be sure to store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

How Do I Store Leftovers?

If you happen to have leftovers, store them properly to maintain freshness:

• Airtight Containers: Place the snack cups in airtight containers or zip-lock bags.
• Cool, Dry Place: Keep them at room temperature in a cool, dry place. Avoid refrigerating as this can make the popcorn soggy.

Can I Make Them Vegan?

Shark Snack Cups can be made vegan with a few simple swaps:

• Vegan Gummies: Use vegan-friendly gummies that don't contain gelatin.
• Vegan Chex Mix: Ensure the Chex Mix doesn't contain any animal products. Some varieties could have dairy, so check the labels.
• Popcorn: Most microwave popcorn is vegan, but it's always good to double-check for any added butter or dairy products.
