Pizza Hut, the pizza restaurant company that serves and delivers more pizzas and desserts than any other pizza company in the world, is making it easier than ever to savor the traditional campfire s'mores flavor, thanks to the new Hershey's Toasted S'mores Cookie, delivered directly to your door.
Available for a limited time beginning May 23, the Hershey's Toasted S'mores Cookie combines the familiar flavors of a classic campfire treat – s'mores – without leaving the comforts of home. The new cookie features the Ultimate Hershey's Chocolate Chip Cookie topped with toasted mini marshmallows, chunks of Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar and graham cracker pieces, all for just $6.99.
"The new Hershey's Toasted S'mores Cookie builds on our history of innovative, delicious desserts, and brings familiar flavors together into one quality dessert that everyone will gather around the table – or campfire – to enjoy," said Jared Drinkwater, vice president of marketing, Pizza Hut.
The eight-inch Hershey's Toasted S'mores Cookie is the latest exclusive dessert offering in partnership with Hershey's. Other Hershey's desserts available only at Pizza Hut include the Ultimate Hershey's Chocolate Chip Cookie and Hershey's Triple Chocolate Brownie.
"Hershey's chocolate is synonymous with s'mores and summer, making this new dessert, from Pizza Hut, a perfect twist on the summer classic. The new Hershey's Toasted S'mores Cookie builds puts an innovative twist on the classic summer s'mores dessert," says Herb Ring, director foodservice, The Hershey Company.
The Hershey's Toasted S'mores Cookie is the perfect dessert to follow any combination of items from the Pizza Hut $5 Flavor Menu. The nationally-available value-focused menu, which Pizza Hut introduced earlier this year, features nine delicious items, including stuffed garlic knots, a medium one-topping pizza, eight bone-out WingStreet® Wings, the Ultimate Hershey's Chocolate Chip Cookie, Hershey's Triple Chocolate Brownie, Tuscani Pasta, a double order of breadsticks or flavor sticks and four 20-oz. beverages, for just $5 each when ordering two or more.
As the first national pizza chain to remove artificial flavors and colors from its core pizzas, Pizza Hut also has the world's busiest website in the pizza category at www.PizzaHut.com, with nearly 50 percent of the company's orders coming through digital channels and more than 30 percent via mobile device.
The Hershey's Toasted S'mores Cookie will be available for a limited time beginning May 23 for dine-in, carryout or delivery at participating Pizza Hut locations around the country. For more information, visit blog.pizzahut.com or to order now, visit www.pizzahut.com.
