Peanut Butter….one of the greatest and tastiest foods in my opinion. The best kinds to me are the kinds that can be eaten straight from the jar with only a spoon needed. And while I love my good ol’ fashioned salt + peanuts type of peanut butter, flavored peanut butter is freaking AWESOME as well.
SO, naturally, I was excited to try this peanut butter, by PB Crave called “Cookie Nookie”. It stated on the front of the jar that it was “peanut butter with wild honey, chocolate chips, [and] cookie dough flavor”.
Can we say… drool worthy? Oh my goodness that sounds so good? Where is my spoon????
So I stirred this baby up, and put a spoon in. The flavor…?
It was alright. Not to say it wasn’t tasty, but I definitely was a bit let down. It had a very different peanut taste than what I am used to, a very harsh and just a strong peanut flavor. It had a salty aftertaste as well, which I wasn’t crazy about either. There were tons of mini chocolate chips, but the flavor of them was mild, and seemed to dissipate as I stirred up the peanut butter (which was inevitable, since there was mild oil separation so I had to stir it).
There definitely was a sweet and salty thing going on, and I could see why it was called “cookie nookie”, as there was somewhat of a chocolate chip cookie flavor. It was a smooth peanut butter, and the ingredients were pretty good (“peanuts, sugar, pal oil, chocolate liquor, cocoa butter, whole milk, natural flavor, salt, maltodextrin, soy lecithin, honey, vanilla”)
Overall, good, but not amazing. I liked it, but not enough to demolish a jar in a week as I am so notorious for doing =D 3 stars
I’m sorry to hear it wasn’t amazing because the name certainly makes it seem like it’s going to be.
I hate it when products do that…they hook you with the name and give you grandiose expectations and then let you down in the end. Boo!
ah, right? I was so upset! I was expecting cookie dough tasting delicious-ness. hahah
