Crumbl Cookies review #92 - Biscoff Cake and Cookies & Cream Brownie

Crumbl Cookies review #92: Biscoff Cake and Cookies & Cream Brownie - visited March 29, 2025

Life's been....it's hard to think of a word that isn't self-pitying while also accurately describing the crushing sensation that brings one to one's knees regardless of a pity party. Let's just say eating and blogging about eating has been low down on my list of priorities, even for an emotional eater like me.

But, since it's counterproductive to wallow in despair all the time, I'll make a stab at normalcy here. I'm a week late with this post as I got this Biscoff Cake and the Cookies & Cream brownie on the last day they were available at my Crumbl.

To cut to the chase, this Biscoff Cake was delicious. Light, fluffy and had the right amount of cookie butter flavor. Heck, I even ate the frosting instead of scraping most of it off, both because it was delicious and not too cloying and because there's that emotional eating thing again.

It helped that the cookie crumbles advertised were actually large enough to be considered crumbles and weren't just cookie butter cookie dust. Crumbl and I have had trust issues in the past on their marketing of their garnishes. See Crumbl Twix review here. But these cookie butter crumbles were large enough to add a nice crunch here and there as I ate my way through the cake.

The cake texture was perfect and that layer of cookie butter in between the cake was the perfect chef's kiss. This cake is definitely satisfying for any cookie butter lover.

The Cookies & Cream Brownie was the "dessert of the month" for March. I held off getting it until the last minute, partly because I wasn't sure if I wanted to try it or not and it took me a month to make up my mind. I've made a lot of brownies in my baking life and I have a high bar for them, storebought or homemade.

I also seem to be an anomaly that while most people like the edges or the crusts of a brownie, I simply don't. I want my brownies to be dense and fudgy-soft the whole way through. Not with crusty edges, sides or corners. 

Not surprisingly, Crumbl's version did have crusty sides, edges and corners. I didn't love that part. But once I could get into the middle, the texture was that dense-fudginess I do like. The flavor was also reasonably good. It did have Oreo overtones in the brownie itself and wasn't just rich chocolate so that was a point in its favor.

Overall, glad I tried it but don't need to get again. If I had to do a repeat, I'd go for the Biscoff Cake again. Fortunately (or not), I got both of these on the last day they were available so my wallet and waistline are safe from a second Biscoff Cake. Until it hits the regular menu again anyway.
