Coles, Woolworths debut cult US dessert for $10: ‘Absolute pleasure to eat’

Whether it’s the iconic ‘kisses’ or the delectable ‘choc balls’, sweet treats from Hershey’s have long been a cult favourite in the US. And when the 130-year-old confectionery company introduced its Cookies ‘n’ Creme chocolate bar in 1994, it was an instant hit.

The combination - a white creme bar sprinkled generously with crispy cookie nuggets - went on to become a popular ice cream flavour, finally appearing in supermarkets as ice cream sticks. Needless to say, the move was met with rave reviews.

“Absolute pleasure to eat,” one Woolworths customer declared of the creamy cookie-flavoured ice cream which was mixed with cookie pieces and coated in white chocolate with even more cookie crumbs.

“Melt in your mouth goodness. Recommend!” another added.
