"This is the kind of collaboration that gets your friends and family talking and reaching for the bag together," says Julia Witten, senior brand manager at Ferrero. "Nerds has one of the most passionate and energetic fanbases, and Mother's has spent over 100 years bringing imaginative frosted fun to treat time. When two beloved brands like these come together, the result is something wildly craveable and endlessly shareable."

Known for inviting families to "Stop and Taste the Frosting," each limited-edition pack includes cookies shaped like Mother's Circus Animals and Nerds characters covered in red and blue frosting and topped with crunchy Nerds Rainbow candy.

"Nerds is all about elevating the vibes. Swapping the classic Mother's sprinkles for crunchy and tangy Nerds is just another way that we're taking things to the next level," says Jenny Chen, senior brand manager, Nerds at Ferrara Candy Company. "This sweet crossover is something fans have dreamed about and we can't wait to bring it to shelves this summer."

To mark this one-of-a-kind collaboration, Mother's and Nerds are offering a consumer giveaway. Shoppers can get in on the action by heading to @MothersCookiesUS on social and dropping #TangyTwist in the comments of the in-feed post. Winners will score a Mother's x Nerds crossover mailer.
