Nestlé Toll House may be best known for its famous chocolate chip cookie recipe, but in the 88 years of the sweet treat’s existence, the company has found other ways to stay relevant.
Sometimes it simply repurposes its original cookie dough recipes with contemporary twists, promoting uses like chocolate chip cookie “tacos,” drops modern flavors, or adds a festive colored candy like M&M’s to make seasonal releases more fun.
Now, following the successful release of its football-shaped chocolatey morsels this past fall, Nestlé is hoping for another win with its new limited-edition Milk Chocolatey-Flavored Soccer Ball Morsels andToll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough with Soccer Ball Morsels.
“At Nestlé Toll House, our focus is building baking traditions that fit the culture of the moment, creating meaningful, memorable food experiences that meet people where life and celebration are happening,” Kate Boeding, senior director of marketing at Nestlé Toll House, explained in a statement on Thursday.

“Soccer is one of those moments. It’s a time of passion and shared celebration,” Boeding added, noting the new releases aim to bring “the spirit of the game right into [fans ‘] kitchens”—and just in time for the World Cup, imagine all the festive flair you could add to your desserts!

The new Nestlé Toll House Milk Chocolatey Flavored Soccer Ball Morsels are soccer ball-shaped, milk-chocolate-flavored morsels ideal for decorating soccer-themed cupcakes, cookies, and even topping on ice cream (because why not).
Although a detailed ingredient list was not immediately available, an official description shared in the April 2 press release states that these morsels are designed to retain their signature soccer ball shape even when baked, presumably with an added stabilizer such as palm oil. It does not appear to be the same recipe as the brand’s classic Milk Chocolate Morsels, which are advertised as “100 percent real chocolate,” not milk chocolate-flavored, but more in line with the recipe used for its Football Morsels that reviewers called “perfect,” “cute and delicious,” praising its “smooth milk chocolate taste.”

The same can be said for the bits of sweet, milk chocolatey goodness found in the new Nestlé Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough with Soccer Ball Morsels. The ready-to-bake cookie dough offers a “fresh take” on the original chocolate chip cookie with its white candy, soccer-ball-shaped morsels, for “a celebratory, sporty treat” that can easily be customized with sprinkles that match your favorite team’s jerseys.

Where Will Nestlé Toll House’s New Chocolatey Soccer Ball Morsels and Cookie Dough Be Available?
Both soccer-inspired Nestlé Toll House products are said to be rolling out at retailers nationwide this month.
Shoppers should expect to find the limited-edition Soccer Ball Morsels in the baking aisles at stores that carry other Nestlé Toll House products (Giant, Hy-Vee, Stop & Shop, Target, Walmart, etc.) for a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $5.79 per nine-ounce bag. The new Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough with Soccer Ball Morsels can be found in the refrigerated section alongside other ready-to-bake Nestlé cookie doughs for about $4.99 per 14-ounce package, which yields 20 cookies (prices may vary).
