New Pillsbury Melts Offer Delicious Melt-In-Your-Mouth Cookies For Family Movie Night Or Special Celebrations

MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 9, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Pillsbury is launching a new refrigerated cookie with a creamy melted center in two of America's favorite dessert flavors.  Pillsbury Melts offer a twist on the traditional place and bake cookie by combining the textures of a cookie with a melt-in-your-mouth creamy filling and topped with a chocolate drizzle icing.

Pillsbury's new cookie comes in two favorite dessert flavors, S'more Sensation and Molten Fudge Cake:

• S'more Sensation: A graham-flavored cookie with a creamy melted marshmallow center, chocolate chips, and a delicious chocolate drizzle.
• Molten Fudge Cake: A chocolate cookie with a molten chocolate middle, and delicious chocolate drizzle.

Pillsbury Melts can be made at home in about twenty minutes. You simply place and bake the cookies, then top with the drizzle for crave-worthy cookies your family will love. 

"We are excited to offer a new cookie that looks like a hard-to-make dessert but is an easy treat for mom to make for her family," said Elizabeth Bowen, Pillsbury marketing manager. "With two great dessert flavors Pillsbury Melts are a great family treat for everyday special occasions such as dessert after dinner, when kids get an 'A' on report cards or a family movie night."

Pillsbury Melts S'more Sensation and Pillsbury Melts Molten Fudge Cake can be found in the refrigerated cookie dough section of your grocery store, at a suggested retail price of $3.69.
