Crumbl review #71 - Nanaimo Cookie (tester)

Crumbl Cookies review #71 Nanaimo Bar Cookie - visited May 22, 2024


Crumbl is finally going back to test cookies on Wednesdays. At least I hope so as a tester finally appeared on the Crumbl app this week. I’ve been disinterested in the offerings on the regular menu (already tried the skillet cookie when it was a tester and didn’t want the other flavors) so I was glad to see a new test flavor. 
I could’ve sworn I’ve made a Nanaimo bar cookie before but I couldn’t find it on my blog when I searched. I vaguely remember I didn’t much care for the vanilla custard layer though so I never made it again.
The Crumbl cookie version has a dark chocolate cookie, a layer of vanilla custard then a chocolate topping and nuts on top. The chocolate cookie was definitely the predominant flavor and the chocolate sauce on top was too thin to be called ganache. It seemed more like Hershey’s chocolate sauce. The vanilla layer was almost a non-entity since I couldn’t taste it very much between the two chocolate layers.
But, as is often the case, I enjoyed the cookie texture more than anything. The cookie base was also similar to the Crumbl Oreo cookie although not quite as Oreo-flavored, just more like a dark chocolate. I liked the tester but if I had to make a recommendation, I would thicken the chocolate ganache to not be so runny and have a little more vanilla layer. But I’d keep the cookie base as is.
