'Crumbl Cookies,' the cookie bakery with a menu that rotates weekly, has launched a set of four cereal cookies for the week of March 6th to 12th, 2022. These four cookies are the 'Fruity Pebbles Cookie,' the 'Cornflake Marshmallow Cookie,' the 'Reese's Puffs Cookie,' and the 'Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cookie.' Three of these are new to the brand, while the Cinnamon Toast Crunch Cookie is a returning item.
Each of these cookies is made to resemble the visual design and flavor palate of the cereals they are named after. As for the ingredients, each cookie is topped with crumbled pieces of the cereal they represent. After this, the cookies are supplemented with other ingredients that match the flavor palate of the respective cereal. For example, the Reese's Puffs Cookie is topped with chocolate chips and a peanut butter frosting while the Fruity Pebbles Cookie is topped with a warm milk-based glaze.
