The World Cup begins on June 11th and Nestle is helping fans celebrate with new soccer ball morsels.
Released under its Toll House brand, the new soccer ball morsels will come in two varieties: chocolate chip cookie dough with white candy soccer ball-shaped morsels, and milk chocolate-flavored soccer ball morsels. The former is ready-to-bake cookie dough that's perfect for whipping up some game day treats in a flash. Meanwhile, the new milk chocolate-flavored soccer ball morsels give you the flexibility of adding a soccer-inspired touch to your favorite baked goods. As Kate Boeding, Senior Director of Marketing at Nestle Toll House, says of the new releases, "Soccer is one of those moments. It’s a time of passion and shared celebration, and we’re giving fans a new way to bring the spirit of the game right into their kitchens."
