For National Cereal Day, BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse is launching a line of cereal-enhanced Pizookies, which will be released throughout 2019, beginning with the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal Pizookie for a limited time. The Pizookie, a famous fusion of the pizza and the cookie, offers a delightful way to satisfy one's sweet tooth.
This first launch takes the form of a buttery sugar cookie that's baked in a deep-dish pan and topped with vanilla bean ice cream, crunchy cereal pieces and cinnamon sugar. By combining nostalgia and whimsy, the new treat is said to be "the dessert that Millennials have been looking for."
BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse offers a range of other Pizookie flavors, including Hot Fudge Brownie, Chocolate Chunk and Peanut Butter, although the new Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cereal variety will be particularly appealing to breakfast cereal fans.
