WEEKLY CRUMBL | 3.29.24


Crumbl rolled out a bomb cookie lineup for Easter this week! Now that they've added cakes into the mix, I was ecstatic to see CARROT CAKE in this week's flavors. Major YUM. I'm a huge strawberry and pretzel gal too so the Strawberry Pretzel Pie sounds incredible! Also included are Lemon Crinkle and Double Fudge Brownie.

I wasn't as excited for the Lemon Crinkle or Double Fudge Brownie cookies so it really shouldn't be a surprise those came in at the bottom for me. Starting with my least favorite- Double Fudge Brownie. I often feel like the odd man out because I always see everyone else rave about the chocolate cookies and they just aren't my fave? Crumbl uses a super rich recipe and in my opinion, they always taste a bit on the bitter side. I know I always feel that way but I still had high hopes this time! All of the reviews said that this one tasted just like brownie batter, however it definitely still needs a bit more sweetness for my taste. 

Lemon Crinkle is good. I've never been a big lemon fan but I always enjoy Crumbl's lemon flavors. They are light, zingy + refreshing. This one is very simple but still great flavor.

On to the two stars of the show: Carrot Cake and Strawberry Pretzel Pie. I was so excited by these two flavors this week + both did not disappoint! I'm having trouble picking a favorite-- they are neck and neck for me. The Carrot Cake is spot on. It tastes exactly how you would expect it to and was delicious. The flavor is yummy, it's super fluffy + moist and the cream cheese icing is so good. There is a little hint of spice too which I can be picky on (I don't love too much nutmeg flavor) but it's really just a hint. Not too overpowering or enough to stop me from eating another bite! 

If you're familiar with the infamous strawberry pretzel salad, the Strawberry Pretzel Pie is a pretty good take in cookie form. Despite the dessert, I think this one's a pretty unique cookie from Crumbl. The base is crunchy which works great with the light whipped topping, strawberry sauce + pretzels. It's a delicious sweet and salty blend that pairs really well. 

Which cookie would you try?
