I still remember my first Pepperidge Farm Mint Milano cookie (Chicago, 1980, given to me by my friend Betsy). Could anything match the simple, subtle elegance of such a thing? As it turns out, the Pepperidge Farm folks have done it themselves, with a salted caramel chocolate variety. The thin layer chocolate is the main flavor here, after the delicious cookie sandwiching it, and the salted caramel is just there as a hint of something extra, like the mint in a Mint Milano. It’s an instant classic.
