My second review!

My second review!

It seems like the location closest to me always does a great job with adding the perfect amount of frosting. The cookies are also HUGE this time! Especially my mom’s peanut butter one!

Snickerdoodle Cupcake Cookie-10/10! This is a delicious cookie! I love cinnamon and sugar. I make homemade snickerdoodle and sugar cookies quite often. I’ve loved every snickerdoodle cookie I’ve ever tried from Crumbl. The OG regular snickerdoodle with no frosting was good, but I definitely prefer them with frosting. I know cream cheese frosting isn’t loved by a lot of people, but I LOVE cream cheese frosting. The Churro cookie from Fair Week I think had a touch more cinnamon, but this is just as good as that one was for me!

Peanut Butter Milkshake Cookie-7/10. I like Butterfingers, but it’s not my favorite candy of all-time. I’m also not a huge straight peanut butter fan. I need it with chocolate or grape jelly😂 but I’m also not a huge chocolate person, so I probably wouldn’t have gotten this one either way. This was for my mom. I did try it out though. I just took a little bit and it tasted VERY strongly of peanut butter. Nothing else though. It’s just 100% peanut butter and I think that’s why it wasn’t great for me. My mom LOVED it though. If you’re a fan of peanut butter, I think you’d like this if it gets offered again! As for the buttercream frosting, it was good. I like buttercream frosting, but I just prefer cream cheese frosting most of the time. However, I do not think a cream cheese frosting would’ve worked well with this cookie. Buttercream was 100% the way to go.

Pumpkin Square-9/10! I LOVE pumpkin cakes! I’m NOT a fan of pumpkin pie (pecan pie can’t be beat!) but pumpkin cakes are a huge favorite! I can’t give it a perfect score though because it has a TON of spice in it. It’s a heavily, heavily spiced cake. My mouth kind of tingles when eating this cake. The only time that happens is when I add too much cinnamon to some food item I’m making or baking. Even with all of that being said, I’m still going to enjoy the hell out of both cakes! I will just eat a few bites at a time(: it’s still a delicious cake! I used to have a coworker that made the best pumpkin cake, but I never managed to get her recipe. So this will just have to be my pumpkin cake for the year!

Overall, I think this week was a successful one for the 2 I chose and the 1 my mom wanted. I’m not a fan of chocolate (or marshmallow) so I skipped the S’Mores. I’m also not a fan is strawberries, I tried the blueberry one months ago and it was just okay. I’ve only gone once or twice since my first review (Fair week) and they just haven’t been super exciting or special. Last week’s were okay. I was just HOPING the OG Celebration/Cake Batter cookie would come back, but it did not. I had to just suck it up and eat a chocolate cookie with cake batter frosting. The cake batter blondie was okay too, but I didn’t like the white drops (I think that’s what they were called anyways). Neither were my beloved cake batter cookie though. But I HAD to try the 2 I got today. They seemed like they’d be good and they definitely were! I’m still holding out hope my favorite cookie will make an appearance soon though.

Color me shocked seeing Silas come up on my screen as a vampire!

This is in Crossing Jordan! Definitely didn’t expect my favorite Blutbad to come up on my screen as a vampire!

My first review of Crumbl cookies!

I’ve only been going to Crumbl for about 2-3 months, but once they stopped selling my cake batter cookie, I stopped going. That was my favorite. However, this week seemed amazing! I’m happy that almost everything I picked up was decent!

Funnel Cake-10/10! This is a fantastic cookie. It’s hard to describe, but I almost get a buttery, cornbread taste. If that doesn’t make any sense, I’m not sure how to explain it. It’s phenomenal. It’s not overly sweet either, it’s a perfect in between.

Churro-10/10! I love snickerdoodle cookies and I make them all the time. I also love Cinnamon Toast Crunch. Funnily enough though, I’ve never had a churro! But this is a great cookie. The cinnamon and sugar ratio is fantastic. The frosting does make it more sweet and I can only handle 1 bite before having to wait a bit for more, but it’s delicious.

Cake Batter Thins-6/10. I was hoping these would at least taste similar to my celebration cake batter cookies, but they don’t. They’re decent, but they’re not my favorite and I’m kinda sad I got 2 orders of them when I could’ve gotten something else. I probably won’t get these again and will just wait for the cake batter cookie to come back!

Strawberry Lemonade-5/10. I had high hopes for this because I LOVE lemon flavored desserts. However, I’m not a fan of strawberry. I was kind of hoping the lemon would be a bit more powerful, but it’s really a perfect split of strawberry and lemon. It’s just not something I’ll pick again.

Cotton Candy-10/10! Another amazing cookie! I kind of think the cookie is very similar to the cake batter cookie. It tastes almost identical, albeit no cake batter flavor. The cotton candy frosting and popping candies are delicious! I know a lot of people don’t like cream cheese frosting, but that was a huge reason I loved the cake batter cookies! It tastes just like cotton candy ice cream to me and I love that flavor!

All in all, I found 3 fantastic cookies this week! I will definitely be going back Saturday to get another batch of the ones I loved! I really wasn’t anticipating liking any of them as much as I do. The Funnel Cake was a shock! I typically love the frosted cookies, but this one is so good without it. It just doesn’t need anything extra. My mom also loves the Funnel Cake cookie! I don’t go to Crumbl often anymore, but I will do reviews when I do go! My mom and I go as special treats to ourselves, but only when there’s stuff we will like. I think this week was a decent success for us!
