The Chewy Chips Ahoy! Fudge Filled Cookies bring two iconic brands together and now, cookie and chocolate lovers can enjoy the taste of Chips Ahoy! cookies inspired by Hershey's. The Hershey's-inspired fudge flavor features a filled center and this is a treat that hopes to make the summer season a little sweeter.
While anyone with a sweet tooth will be eager to try a cookie straight out of the packaging, the brand suggests adding it to ice cream to make an extra special sweet treat to "turn any ordinary day into a Fundae."
