This summer, Great American Cookies and Marble Slab Creamery are serving up some nostalgia with the debut of the new FROOT LOOPS Cereal Swirl Cookie and the FROOT LOOPS Cereal Swirl Slab Combination.
The new FROOT LOOPS Cereal Swirl Cookie is a clever combination of cookie dough studded with FOOT LOOPS cereal pieces and marshmallow-flavored swirl chips. To make things even sweeter, co-branded Marble Slab Creamery and Great American Cookies locations will also be offering the new FROOT LOOPS Cereal Swirl Slab Combination. This decadent creation combines the brand's original sweet cream ice cream with carnival sprinkles, and rich mallo creme with FROOT LOOPS cereal. As Senior Director of Marketing for Great American Cookies and Marble Slab Creamery, Katie Thoms, explains, "Cereal continues to be a trending ingredient this year, showing its versatility, and we are incredibly excited to bring the iconic cereal brand out of its bowl, topping our fresh baked cookies with and mixing-in with our homemade ice cream."
