Just like when I was little, the holidays bring to mind holiday food. While most holidays have associated candy, for some reason I hold Easter candy to a higher quality then the rest. Have you ever had a chocolate bunny made of crappy chocolate? It’s like a crime against taste buds!
Now for this unusual cookie/candy thing. The wrapper picture shows round cookies, or flying saucers, the art is weird. But instead of cookies, out came 4 rectangular chocolate squares with big chunks of chocolate and vanilla pieces. The chocolate bar part is about 1/4 inch thick and sweet, and melts in your mouth. The cookie crumbs have a mixture vanilla, milk chocolate and dark chocolate pieces. While the chunks are tasty and the different colors have different flavors is great, I can’t help be distracted by the ‘density’ of the chunks. Density is a weird term but it’s hard to describe how hard the cookie chunks are. They’re more like hard candy then cookie crumbs, I can feel them in every bite. But then again, if they weren’t so hard they would probably get crumbled during shipping and leave a powder in the wrapper.
Despite the extra crunchiness, I can see this being part of a special Easter basket. There’s good quality chocolate, with different flavored chocolate and vanilla bits and it’s unique appearance would make an excellent gift. And if you kept the chocolate side up, then no one would suspect the crumbs on the bottom.
I give Herberts Cookies and Chips candy bar a 4 out of 5!
