✅ COOKIE CUPS
As a student at Drexel, Michelle Silberman started turning chocolate chip cookies into small cups that could be filled with anything from milk to ice cream to mini-cocktails. Today, she runs Snackadabra, a company specializing in cookie cups of all flavors, including red velvet, peppermint, and birthday cake. Snackadabra, snackadabra.com

✅ FOOLISH WAFFLES
Forget bread—everything from the Foolish Waffles truck is served on a fresh waffle. Look for fried chicken sandwiches, fancy grilled cheese, and a bagel-style waffle. For dessert, the truck offers a sugar waffle with berries. Check social media or the website for daily locations, including Weavers Way Co-Op and Chestnut Hill Farmers’ Market.
