It's doused in a Cookie Good devised maple caramel concoction and then adorned with crumbs made from this enterprise's ingredients named in its title. Ditto the peanut butter-candy bar cookie corn, based with a peanut butter caramel and featuring the appropriate cookie crumbs and a dash of Butterfinger bits for added zest. Can you say yum?
