These Rich’s cookies are a range of thaw-and-serve baked goods arriving for retailers who don't have space for a bakery to stock.
The cookies come in three flavors created in collaboration with Nestlé including Little Rolo, Aero Peppermint and Matchmakers Zingy Orange. The cookies leverage the recognizable branding and flavors of Nestlé to help make them an easy purchase for shoppers. The cookies come with four in each bag and will be launching in the UK starting in August with a suggested price point of £2.29 per bag.
Rich's Sales, Marketing and Research and Development Director John Want commented on the Rich’s cookies saying, "With more of us out and about in 2022, there’s a real opportunity to make the most out of the food-to-go sector.”
