The cookies start off with dark chocolate shortbread dough baked to perfection before being topped with stripes of vanilla-flavored fudge to create a black and white cookie aesthetic. This will call to mind the Beetlejuice character's recognizable suit, while also giving them a profile that will fit in perfectly with the fall season as well as the release of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice on September 6, 2024. Vice President of Marketing Alicia Mosley spoke on the Keebler Dark Chocolate & Vanilla Fudge Stripes saying, "We're thrilled to introduce this partnership to our classic Fudge Stripes portfolio, providing a fun take on the classic black-and-white-striped suit that Beetlejuice fans know and love. At Keebler, we strive to create magical moments for families and what better way to do so than by partnering with [Warner Bros. Discovery](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keebler-products) to bring some tasty moments to the highly anticipated new film."
