Chips Ahoy! Brings Back Hot Cocoa Chewy Cookies for the Holidays

— November 20, 2024 — Business
In a holiday surprise that's already melting hearts (and taste buds), Chips Ahoy! has brought back its long-lost 'Hot Cocoa Chewy Cookies' for the first time in eight years. Fans who thought this cozy, indulgent treat was gone forever can now savor the seasonal favorite once again, just in time for winter.

These limited-edition cookies combine the best of Chips Ahoy!'s classic chewy texture with a festive twist: real cocoa in the dough, melty marshmallow chips, and a rich, chocolatey center that evokes the comforting taste of a mug of hot cocoa. The brand even suggests warming them in the microwave to create a gooey, fresh-out-of-the-oven experience for an extra touch of decadence. Pro tip: add a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for a truly indulgent treat.

Spotted at retailers like Sobeys, Randalls, and Target, these holiday-exclusive cookies are already flying off shelves. This nostalgic holiday treat is only back for a limited time, so grab a box or two before they vanish again, possibly for another eight years.
