You might be sad the weekend has come to an end, but your sweet tooth is more than psyched. That little devil is ready to bathe in sugar and considering it’s National Dessert Day, you should give in and indulge in a treat that’s out of the ordinary. Oh, and we’re not talking about an extra bite of a granola bar.

smoogy


This sandwich creation is called the Smoogy. It’s a cookie-wich of sorts that actually has…wait for it… frozen cheesecake inside. Unreal, really. You can find these in A&Ps across the U.S.
