Vince ManciniĪgain, cookies are smaller than I would’ve imagined. I’ve never heard of this one before but it has by far the best name so far - “Caramel Nut Dreams.” Caramel Nut Dreams is also the name of my sex-positive ska revival band. Caramel Nut Dreams (Fudge, Caramel, & Peanuts) Vince Mancini Milk Dunk Test: Dunking definitely is the way these should be eaten but they still aren’t great. Mostly it seems like a vehicle for that bad chocolate. There’s not much of the buttery vanilla flavor notes that I appreciate in chocolate chip cookies, which is disappointing. Looks like a packaged chocolate chip cookie alright.īiting in… it’s very crumbly. I assume this is Keebler’s answer to Chips Ahoy. Too much chocolate on my hands for a replacement-level cookie. I accept that, but the chocolate melts on my fingers before the graham can soak up much milk.Ĭoffee Dunk Test: Meh. Milk Dunk Test: Obviously, because of the chocolate coating, you have to take a small bite so that the milk can soak into the inner cookie part.
I think these would be better with a much higher graham-to-chocolate ratio. The grahams are also softer inside than I imagined. I’m not expecting like $18 bittersweet chocolate bar chocolate, I get that these are mass-marketed desserts, but even expecting sweet milk chocolate their chocolate is cloyingly sweet. Biting in… Keebler chocolate is just so sweet. The actual cookies are smaller than I expected.
I get that they’re going for a kind of “dessert Handi-Snack” thing with this (Handi-Snacks, now there’s a processed product I actually love) and that I’m almost certainly not the target audience for this, but… yeah. Just the fact that they’re “minis” means it’s near impossible to dunk without getting marshmallow goo on your fingers. Pretty much nothing about this is appealing to me. I wish you could see my face when I opened this. It’s like white frosting, only worse! Vince Mancini In theory, I guess you could make the case that these cookies were made for a dunker like me! But that assumes… well, a lot things, most mostly that I’d want my dunking liquid to be room temperature, shelf-stable, and made out some sort of revolting liquid marshmallow. Fudge Stripes Minis S’Mores Dip’ Mmms Vince Mancini Rather, I think the look of the cookie and the packaging is an important factor in the overall appeal. These are all Keebler cookies and short of being blindfolded, there’s no great difficulty in being able to tell a fudge wafer from a shortbread cookie. I also didn’t taste these “blind,” because… that seemed dumb. Apologies to that narrow subset of cookies that are noticeably better when dunked in coffee instead of milk. Dunking a cookie in cold coffee didn’t seem like a fair real-world scenario to throw at these cookies (to be fair, I don’t know your life) and it seemed tedious so I ditched it about a quarter of the way through. But as it turned out, between taking pictures of each cookie, writing notes after each bite, dunking in milk, and then taking more notes, my coffee kept getting cold.

It’s probably fine! I don’t know.įor the first few entries, I tested them dunked both in milk and in coffee, to try to get a full picture of each cookie’s true potential. I used 2% cow milk, but if you’re a vegan you could use almond or oat milk.
So when I tested these, I tried to give them a shot both as non-dunked cookies, for all the sicko dry guys out there, and also dunked, since that’s how I eat them. A cookie that doesn’t dunk is, to me, close to worthless. I basically only eat cookies dunked in milk or coffee. Hey, did you know British people call cookies “biscuits?” Wild! That is my “interesting fact of the day” before I take you on this thoroughly un-educational journey. A lot of Girl Scout Cookies are made by Little Brownie Bakers, a Keebler subsidiary.
There are quite a few Keebler varieties that look suspiciously similar to Girl Scout Cookies, but as it turns out, there’s a good reason for that. As Patrick Henry once said, “I regret that I have but one life to sacrifice for my #content.” It’s not as if I’m on a gluten-free diet, and anyway I doubted I could feel worse than I did after tasting 31 peanut butters. Why Keebler cookies? Well, why not? And who the hell are you to question, anyway? Keebler is a classic American brand, founded in 1853 and widely credited as the first confectioner to fortify their treats with real elf meat. In today’s installment of “ Steve’s Hare-Brained Food Ranking Ideas“: the best Keebler cookies.
