Major shoutout to Crumbl for a bomb a** cookie lineup this week! There have been some good ones this year but THIS is definitely the best one I’ve seen in a long time. I’m so excited about all the flavors in this week's lineup: Blue Monster ft. CHIPS AHOY!, Apple Crumb Cake, Salted Caramel Cheesecake, French Toast and Mom’s Recipe.

I tried Blue Monster last year which I would rank in my top ten— I loved this one. It’s served chilled and is like an elevated chocolate chip cookie. With the frosting, I remember thinking it tasted just like cookie cake which I love so I’m excited to have it again. Also a little spoiler- I already had a tiny sample of the French Toast earlier in the week which was spot on.

Ya’ll already know I'm all for these fall vibes popping in with Apple Crumb Cake, Salted Caramel Cheesecake & Mom’s Recipe. It’s definitely a solid lineup so far and while my expectations are high, I think these are all going to hit. Let’s see... 

Okay, results are in… they definitely DID NOT disappoint. This is for sure one of the best weeks in a long time. We'll get my least favorite out of the way which was Mom’s Recipe. This one sounded good in theory but was a letdown for me. I don't know if my cookie was just a fluke but mine was basically just a normal chocolate chip cookie with a tad of salt + oatmeal? I didn’t get any of the toffee or peanut butter flavors which was disappointing. I will say sometimes the cookies do taste a little different the next day and/or when cold so maybe I’ll have a new experience tomorrow? We'll see but as of now, I would pass on this one.

Everything else was a win for me. The Salted Caramel Cheesecake was good. It has a sweet icing + caramel topping which I enjoyed + the graham cracker cookie is always a win for me. It tastes great and has a nice, firmer texture. Ya'll know I hate the cookies are underbaked so I would love if they were all like this! 

Blue Monster was just as yummy as last time. I’m not a big fan of the regular chocolate chip cookie but this one is so so good. It’s also a firmer, more crunchy cookie and I love the icing. I'm telling you it's just like cookie cake! Maybe a tad crunchier but the same vibes. Delish! 

Okieee, let’s talk Apple Crumb Cake and French Toast. Both of these were the stars of the show + very unique flavors unique flavors that I think they nailed. It was also nice to have a cookie with apple since most of Crumbl’s fruit flavors tend to be lemon or some type of berry. The actual cookie itself was sweet and I loved the crunch on top from the apple. The flavor is just like an apple pie/cobbler but isn't too rich or overkill. Very very good. The French Toast, ya'll... outstanding. Definitely a 10/10 on all fronts for being unique + so yummy. The texture on this one is soft and fluffy, more cake like than cookie which I love. The flavor is also spot on, very sweet and full of maple from the syrup. It’s super rich so if you like sweet and syrup, you’ll love this one. 

All in all, I'm very impressed with this week! It's not the norm for me to enjoy almost all of the flavors, especially when I have high expectations. Already looking forward to eating my leftovers! 

Which flavors do you want to try?
