Another Cookie of Intrigue

 

...I've got another puzzle for you!

I'm always watching movies. About a month ago I treated myself to a good ol' New Year's Eve romantic comedy classic: When Harry Met Sally. Near the end of the film, after the third-act breakup, there is a scene wherein Harry is trying not to think about blowing it with the love his life, so he is settling in for the night with the "best cookie in the world" according to him. And this got me really wondering--what is a Mallomar anyway?

Well, it's a Nabisco marshmallow and graham cracker cookie coated in chocolate--so pretty close to a S'more. Okay then. These are always mentioned on TV and movies as a throwaway reference; I don't have any numbers, just trust me. It must be fairly popular because, after Oreos, and maybe Fig Newtons, I can't think of a store-bought cookie brand that gets namedropped more frequently, but I've never had one. I've never seen them in a store. Instead, I've always had access to Moon Pies (bleh). 

Come to find out, these cookies are seasonal, only available for sale between September and March and it's sold on the East Coast of the United States, primarily in New York. Of course! That's why this elusive cookie is so commonly mentioned. The main characters of the United States strike again. They've got their New York style hot dogs, their New York style pizza slices, and now it's a chocolate/marshmallow/graham cracker treat. New York, is there anything else that is common throughout the whole continent that you want to put a small spin on and claim as your own?

I've got to get my hands on some of these cookies. Good thing they are available on Amazon for $60!

This one is really going to sizzle ol' Slugworth! We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams.
