Like many great food inventions, the ‘cookies and cream’ flavour has uncertain origins. While we may not know exactly who first had the idea to blend ice cream with crushed-up chocolate sandwich cookies, there’s one thing we can safely assume—that person was a genius! And since the late 1970s, this cookies-and-cream concept has been applied to cakes, milkshakes, candy bars, and even trail mixes. Now TJ's has added another shining star to the cookies-and-cream universe: Cookies & Crème Pretzel Slims.

The base for these treats is TJ's Pretzel Slims with their thin, crisp, salty character. Each Pretzel is dunked in a creamy confectionary coating that includes notes of natural vanilla flavour, and crushed bits of TJ's Chocolate Vanilla Bean Cream Joe-Joe’s cookies. That would be enough—but they couldn’t help but add a final flourish of chocolatey drizzle.

Are TJ's Cookies & Crème Pretzel Slims worthy of their ingenious heritage? Perhaps you might weigh in.
