Panera’s Dubai Style Chocolate Pistachio Cookie

For reasons completely within my control, it feels like I’ve eaten most meals at Panera for the last week – either the fantastic lasagna soup (consistently great from I believe at least 4 locations) or that in a Pick Two with half a Chicken Bacon Rancher. Sometimes with a chocolate chip cookie for later. I mixed it up and opted for a Dubai Style Chocolate Pistachio Cookie on a whim yesterday. Seeing that pistachio cream was too tempting. I urge you to look at that delicous looking treat on their website before taking a look at mine.

Some of Panera’s Fall 2026 Items

Panera has rolled out a few interesting (to me) new items for fall and I tried the two I was interested in today.

Underovercaffeinated

So caffeine is a liar.

Lay’s Bacon Poutine Chips

Yet another FIFA tie in obtained from Exotic Snack Guys.

Brisket Americano flavor chips from Sabritas (Lay’s)

Another Lay’s World Cup edition flavor, this one from Exotic Snack Guys. These are from their Mexican brand, Sabritos.

Ice Cream Flavor Snickers

I tried this Ice Cream flavored Snickers from Mexico. This was a pick up from Exotic Snack Guys.

Walkers Portuguese Chorizo & Onion Chips

Another of Walkers’ World Cup international choices that I was excited to try – Chorizo & Onion!
