The new product has been developed over the past three years by food researchers from Oklahoma State University.
Wal-Mart stores in Oklahoma and the Dallas-Fort Worth area are expected to begin selling the new format of the lunchtime favourite soon. A pack of 16 slices individually wrapped in plastic sheets will cost about US$2.5. So far only creamy peanut butter slices have been produced but food researchers are hoping to produce crunchy slices soon.
