Cookies United revealed the newest addition to its CakeBite line at the 2022 Sweets & Snacks Expo and it shares the experience of cake in a single bite. The grab-and-go bite shares layers of peanut butter and chocolate cake, with peanut butter cream and crushed peanuts in between. The texture-rich treat is enrobed in a coating of peanut butter and a chocolate drizzle.
This new CakeBite flavor is set to be officially available for purchase as of 2023. It will join other fun flavors from the CakeBite line like Classic Italian Rainbow, Tuxedo Chocolate and Frosted Coffee Cake. These bite-sized, portion-controlled indulgences make it easy to take a sweet treat to go, and it feeds into the ever-growing demand for better-for-you snacks.
