For a limited time this fall and winter, the Hershey's Kitchens pop-up in Toronto is a place to take the opportunity to make your own cookies. The interactive bakeshop is the perfect place to create a sweet treat during the holiday season.
The experience begins by choosing a type of dough—from options like classic or peanut butter—and mix-ins that will be baked into the cookie in a matter of minutes. The site also offers some pre-mixed options like Cookies n’ Creme After Dark, which combines a Cookies ‘n’ Creme cookie stuffed with brownie batter and Cookies ‘n’ Creme Chipits, or the Deconstructed Oh Henry.
As well as being able to satisfy their sweet tooth with cookies, people will also enjoy other treats like blondies, brownies and comforting hot drinks.
