Frodoh Desserts
Three University of Maryland students created Frodoh, a frozen donut hole business. Simon Amato, Founder of Frodoh, pitched the idea in his entrepreneurship class after chowing down on a frozen donut on vacation. Since then, they have created #DamnDeliciousDonutsDoneDifferently with multiple delicious flavors, including Matcha, Cookies N' Cream, Banana Nut, Blueberry, and S'mores. Bring Frodoh to your next event! For more info, go to their website here and follow their Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook!

Broodjes and Bier
The CEO and Founder, Frim, created a modern Dutch-inspired prepared foods company four years ago and today has launched in multiple well-known coffee shops in the D.C. area. You've probably seen her premium sandwiches and unique breakfast bowls at Compass Coffee or Peet's. If you're a student, you may have noticed her brand at your campus cafe. Broodjes is on a mission to create grab-n-go food that actually tastes good, using fresh and local ingredients that have never been frozen. Currently, they serve five different sandwiches, five different bowls, and two snack boxes, but are constantly creating new items and adding seasonal flavors. Already hungry for lunch?

The Cookie Jar
Edible Cookie Dough. Do I have to say more?! This cookie dough is egg free--which means you eat it raw! The Founder and Missouri-Native, Lindsey Larner, left her marketing job and created this delicious cookie dough business. Her signature flavors include Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip, Sugar Cookie Funfetti, Oatmeal Raisin, Double Chocolate MandM, and Snickerdoodle. If you are vegan or dairy free, she also has a Vegan Chocolate Chip! Her dough can be purchased in Admo, but if you aren't in the D.C. area you are in luck because she offers nationwide shipping!

These two entrepreneurs created dessert snack bites that are 100% plant-based. No sugar, grain free, dairy free, gluten free, and low carb.
