Chocolate. Mint. Cookie.
What More do You Need?
When I stumbled on Keebler's Mint Creme Middles last year, I
couldn't resist giving them a try. But I
sort of wish I had since I just keep buying these delicious cookies.
They are pretty much what they sound like. The base of the cookie is chocolate. According to the packaging, it's chocolate
graham. All I know? It looks and tastes like solid chocolate to
me. There is a more fudge like coating
around the outside bottom of the cookie.
Then there's the mint filling of the hollow spot in the middle top of
the cookie. It's colored mint green,
too. Finally, a little more chocolate is
drizzled on the top.
And these cookies are pure deliciousness. Who doesn't love chocolate mint? If you do, you'll like these cookies. The mint is strong enough to be noticed
without taking anything away from the chocolate.
Actually, these really remind me of the Girl Scout's Thin
Mint cookies in taste. So if you are
looking for a substitute for them during the year, here are some cookies to
check out.
The cookies are roughly the size of two quarters each, and
there are 30 per package. Every three
cookies has 130 calories, almost half from fat.
So one or two aren't horrid for your waistline. But do you have the self-control to only eat
one or two? Nutrients? These are cookies - don't make me laugh.
Likewise, don't look at the ingredients. The few you will recognize are the usual
suspects of sugar, enriched flour, and vegetable oil, etc. This is definitely a case where ignorance is
bliss.
Because you don't want to know that kind of stuff. You just want to enjoy the bliss of the
chocolate mint flavor in your mouth. And
if you do want a chocolate mint cookie, I can't think of a better one that
Keebler's Mint Creme Middles.
Sounds sinfully delish!
ReplyDeleteThey are. Well worth the calories.
