Collective drool.
Right now, you can buy these marshmallow dreams exclusively at Target, but they’ll be available nationwide on January 1st. These Milano cookies have the classic chocolate center, only this time it’s brilliantly paired with a layer of marshmallow, making them the perfect treat to munch on at a holiday party or on a snowy weekend afternoon. Even the packaging is delightfully festive.
