WEEKLY CRUMBL | 10.11.24


Ya'll, I just COULDN'T resist this week's Crumbl Cookies! You know I'm an all-or-nothing kinda gal when it comes to these cookies and every single one sounded good, haha. The lineup is: Tres Leche Cake, Maple Cream Sandwich, Caramel Apple, Peanut Butter Pie, Pumpkin Chocolate Chip and Milk Chocolate Chip. 

I always skip the classics so Chocolate Chip is always a no go but I was tempted by the rest. I even contemplated buying a six pack to try all five but in the spirit of *some* self control, I figured we'd better just stick to a four-pack, lol. Although I love pumpkin, the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip to me is a little less unique than the others so it ended up getting cut this time but we'll have to try it whenever it comes back. 

Let's just get into the nitty gritty. We'll start with the Peanut Butter Pie which I was the most excited for. I'm a Reeses gal so I had high hopes for this one but it ended up being my least favorite! Definitely a bummer! It really just wasn't great- I'm not sure whether it wasn't made properly or just way off from my tastes. The cookie base was a little too bitter for me and weirdly enough, tasted extremely salty? The filling was a little better but I would have liked a stronger peanut butter flavor and a little more sweetness. It just lacked overall flavor to me and was just super salty. Presentation wise, very cute though! 

Another unexpected turn was the Tres Leches Cake. My sister loves this so after hearing her hype and seeing so many positive reviews, I was really excited for it too. I'm probably the odd man out here but I was underwhelmed. I know what Tres Leche is but the texture still threw me a bit. The flavor was good, I'm just not sure the milky wetness is my vibe so I probably wouldn't repurchase this one. 

The one flavor in the bunch that I had already tried before was the Caramel Apple cookie. I'm pretty sure I had this one last year and really enjoyed it! I liked it pretty good this year too. The flavor was nice and fun for fall, however I would have liked more apple pieces on top. I also ate it after it had cooled so it was a bit on the crunchy side but all in all, still tasty! 

Alright, the surprise of the bunch and my favorite of the week has to go to the Maple Cream Sandwich! I had zero expectations for this one but it turned out to be SO so good. I would definitely get it again! I never would have expected it to be my favorite, either! I like maple syrup but other than that, it's not really a flavor I eat a lot of but this one is a winner. It has a really nice maple flavor and the cream filling was light and fluffy. Also 10/10 for the cute design! 

Which flavor would you pick?
