Crumbl wants to take your taste buds on a trip to Europe this summer with its new Tour of Europe dessert collection.
Available as part of the brand's limited-time menu for the week of August 17th to August 22nd, the new Tour of Europe lineup features six European-style treats to enjoy. First up is the French-inspired Creme Brulee Cookie, which is a chilled brown sugar cookie rolled in turbinado sugar and topped with a torched sugar creme brulee topping. Italian creations include the new cone-shaped Cannoli Cookie, the mascarpone whipped cream-topped Chocolate Tiramisu Cake, and the waffle cone streusel-topped Vanilla Chocolate Gelato Cookie. There's also a Dutch-style Stroopwafel Sandwich Cookie that's filled with caramel. Finally, Sweden is represented in the form of the Swedish Candy Cookie featuring Bubs (which is a chewy candy).
