OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 16, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Marie Callender's®, a brand of ConAgra Foods,
Inc. (NYSE: CAG) is launching a new Pumpkin Pecan Streusel Pie,
just in time for the holiday season. A combination of two seasonal
favorites, the Pumpkin Pecan Streusel Pie delivers the same great
taste and creamy texture of Marie's traditional pumpkin pie, but
adds the perfect contrast by topping it with a crunchy, nutty
streusel for a festive finish to any occasion.
Marie Callender's newest dessert
features her signature flaky, made-from-scratch pastry crust,
brimming with real pumpkin blended with just the right spices and
finished with a crunchy brown sugar streusel with toasted
pecans.
"For decades, Marie Callender's
has been creating homemade desserts with high-quality ingredients
and signature special touches, and often look to our consumers for
ideas on new desserts and flavors," said Christiane Brocky, vice president & general
manager, ConAgra Foods. "In fact, the inspiration for the new
Pumpkin Pecan Streusel Pie came from consumers indicating it would
make a perfect combination, so we're excited to now offer two of
their favorite sweet, seasonal pies in one delicious dessert."
Marie Callender's Pumpkin Pecan
Streusel Pie is available in the freezer aisle at select grocery
stores nationwide including Wal-Mart, Kroger and Meijer for the
everyday suggested retail price of $8.49 but retailers may have lower prices for the
holidays. For more information on Marie
