The M&M’S Chocolate Cookie Sandwich has been unveiled by the Mars-owned chocolate brand as a new dessert option that will provide consumers with a different way to enjoy the classic candy. The ice cream sandwich is made with two cookies that are packed with M&M'S Minis, while the interior of the treat is filled with reduced fat chocolate ice cream. This makes it a tasty treat that also speaks to growing consumer preferences for reduced fat and calorie options in the frozen dessert category.
The M&M’S Chocolate Cookie Sandwich is now available from select retailers in the US in six-packs or for individual purchase. The dessert incorporates crunchy and creamy textures to make it appealing to consumers looking for a more balanced option when perusing the frozen dairy case.
