Would you try it? Latest thing from New Jersey-based B&G Foods --Twix Shakers Seasoning Blend; just the thing for people to make anything taste like Twix candy bars. The company also makes Molly McButter and Buena Vida chili powder if you wanna add some spice to a dish. The company says you can obviously shake the Twix blend on things like ice cream, milkshakes, fruit or desserts. But they also suggest you might try some on stuff like popcorn, cocktails, or even... BBQ sauce used on chicken wings. And PS: New Twix salted caramel cookie bars will be rolling out nationwide on Monday, September 13th.
While we're on desserts, Variety reports SELENA GOMEZ --who’s a partner in the New York City restaurant Serendipity3, has created a "Selena Sundae" for the restaurant. It combines her Cookies & Cream Remix ice cream covered in hot fudge, cream-filled cookie crumbles, pink sugar and whipped cream and is topped off by a banana and a cherry. A portion of the money from people ordering her sundae will go to Selena’s Rare Impact Fund, which helps give people access to mental health resources.
