Kentucky Fried Chicken is hoping to make customers' coffee fix a little sweeter.

According to CNET.com, the chicken chain is rolling out a coffee cup made out of a cookie to celebrate its 50th anniversary. At select KFC restaurants in the United Kingdom, the new Scoff-E  cup will be completely edible and wrapped in sugar paper. The website explains the cup will also be "fortified with a layer of heat-resistant white chocolate that helps keep the cookie crispy and your coffee hot. As you drink your joe, the chocolate lining melts over time, making your coffee a bit sweeter and softening the cookie so it sort of melts in your mouth."

But the deliciousness doesn't end there. The cups also will be infused with scents like coconut sun cream and freshly cut grass to improve your mood.
The limited-edition treats will be out later this year in the U.K., but sadly, there are no plans for them to be released in the U.S.
