Q: Can I fry Happy Hour Foods snacks?

No, there’s no need! Our snacks are already pre-fried and frozen for your convenience. They are specifically designed for quick and easy preparation in an oven or air fryer – perfect ready-made party food! Please refer to the cooking guidelines on each snack’s packaging for the best results.

Q: Why is the cheese running out of my Savoury Bites?

Oh no, we’re sorry to hear that! We don’t want any of that delicious cheese going to waste from your cheesy bites. The cooking instructions on our packaging are a general guide, as all appliances vary. It might happen if your oven or air fryer runs a little hot, causing the cheese to melt faster than the dough can get golden and crispy. For a perfect result, we recommend keeping a close eye on your Savoury Bites the first time you make them. Take them out as soon as the outside is a beautiful golden colour and they’re piping hot usually ready in minutes! They might be ready in less time than the instructions say. This will help keep all that gooey, cheesy goodness right where it belongs!

Q: Can I bake the Pão de Queijo in the air fryer?

Yes, you can! The air fryer is great if you’re short on time and want snacks ready in minutes, but the texture will be slightly different. For that perfect, traditional soft and gooey inside, we still recommend the oven for your Pão de Queijo.

Question 1

Which is better for cooking Happy Hour Foods’ frozen snacks the oven or the air fryer?

Accepted Answer

It really depends on your preference! Our frozen snacks cook faster and tend to have a crispier texture in the air fryer. If you prefer a softer texture, the oven is the way to go. Both methods deliver delicious results for our snack range. Either way, just be sure to follow the instructions on the packaging for the perfect bite every time.

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can, but with a little planning! Since different snacks have different cooking times, we recommend adding the ones that cook faster a few minutes later. For example, if you&#8217;re preparing both our Coxinha (Crispy Chicken Croquettes)and Cheese Croquettes together, add the Cheese Croquettes to the air fryer or oven two minutes after the Coxinhas.
