Disappointment reigns...


Another trip to the Jungle, another impulse buy. Please hide your shock...

Today it was Chocolate-Covered Nutter Butters - clearly a masterstroke from the people at Nabisco. Nutter Butters are nearly a perfect cookie, and I don't know anybody who doesn't like a little chocolate in their peanut butter.

Sadly, however, the product is very much underwhelming. At twelve cookies per package, the inside looked like a standard rip-off Girl Scout Cookie box rather than the wonderfulness that is the standard thrity-two-cookie package of Nutter Butters. Strike one...

The cookies aren't even the traditional nutter butter peanut shape. Dipping those in chocolate would be wonderful. Instead, we get plain round cookies in chocolate. Strike two...

Then comes the taste - the all-important factor. It's not good. The chocolate overpowers the peanut taste, and the chocolate's not a great quality chocolate. It's the sort of chocolate that comes in chocolate coins that cost a dollar for a little net bag. Sure it's tasty, but it's not exactly Godiva. Strike three...

My advice is to steer clear, folks...

Much better, though, is the newly-released chocolate Payday Good stuff...
