Mascarpone Peanut Butter Melts

Baby-friendly Peanut Butter Mascarpone melt bites

These Mascarpone Peanut Butter Melts offer an easy way to provide babies with flavor⁠, teething relief⁠, an interesting texture that melts in the mouth, an early exposure to two top allergenic foods (peanut and cow's milk)⁠ and lots of key nutrients including protein, fat, fiber, vitamins and minerals.

These melts are best for babies who are using a pincer grasp (which usually emerges around 9 months but can show up before and/or after (babies are each on their own developmental timeline)! If they are still using a palmar grasp, babies may get frustrated if they can't pick up the melt. Don’t skip the spices - the more flavors babies experience during infancy, the more likely they will be accepting of a wide range of flavors down the road.
