Crave Cookies review #9: Choco Caramel Blondie, Cookies 'n Milk, Horchata Churro and Chocolate Cupcake

Crave Cookies review #9: Choco Caramel Blondie, Cookies 'n Milk, Horchata Churro and Chocolate Cupcake - visited January 30, 2025

I'm way behind on my reviews for Crave Cookies, partly because I got a 4-pack at the end of January and it took me awhile to go through them (1/4 cookie a day means finishing a 4-pack takes me a couple of weeks). My usual MO is to portion each cookie into fourths (sometimes thirds), wrap each piece in plastic wrap and put them in a freezer bag to reside in the freezer then take out a piece each day to enjoy.

I ended up getting a 4-pack this particular week because I wanted to try 3 of the flavors and added the 4th to make it more economical.

Horchata Churro

I've never had horchata before but I'm a big fan of churro cookies (Crumbl's is my favorite) or anything in the snickerdoodle family. Crave's version was fabulous in terms of the cookie itself. Turns out I'm not as into horchata. Or maybe I just didn't like all that creamy filling in the middle. The horchata was milky like it's probably supposed to be but I don't like milk, don't drink it, don't care for the taste or texture. I ended up taking out some of the filling and just enjoying the cookie only.

Choco Caramel Blondie

The Choco Caramel Blondie is the kind of cookie Crave does really well. Drizzled with caramel and white chocolate instead of having a mountain of frosting is always the way to go for me. The cookie is domed and thick, has a great brown sugar caramel flavor and the perfect chewy texture I like in my cookies. This one was a winner.

I was more curious about the Cookies and Milk than actually wanting to eat it but it turned out to be a good cookie as well. I'm a fan of Crave's vanilla cookie dough, no matter how they dress it up. I'm not as big a fan of cereal garnishes as, given the way I portion out, freeze and eat the cookie pieces later, cereal doesn't survive my temperate approach and is best consumed the day of purchase.

I also wasn't wild about all the filling inside. I get why they do it for the concept of the cookie and anyone who likes creamy filling will like this cookie. I still like the cookie, especially the melted milk chocolate on top, but I confess to taking out some of the filling and just eating the cookie. 

The chocolate cupcake cookie was the plainest of the four and the 4th cookie I added to upgrade to a 4-pack. It's a pretty straightforward cookie for people who don't like a lot of fuss and just want a chocolate frosted cookie. I've gotten used to Crave's more elaborate over the top combinations so this was just a "nice" cookie for me. The chocolate texture was nice and fudgy and the frosting wasn't overwhelming so those were pluses. But otherwise, probably not worth the price as an individual cookie to my fussy taste buds.
