Cracker meets cookie: Crookies
A blog that gives all products a thumbs up is boring, so we do our best to find products we think we might not like, which is why we selected to try Crookies.
While the ingredient list is super clean and all organic (4 total ingredients), the first ingredient on the list is date paste. We have never found a product sweetened with dates that we like. A lot of products in the market pair dates with cacao or chocolate, and IMBHO, it just doesn’t work.
So why does it work here? Why are these Crookies so darn good? We thought we had a real loser, but nope! We have a winner instead.
This “cracker meets cookie” wafer is coconut forward with sesame and cacao coming through nicely. Shredded unsweetened coconut is the second ingredient on the list and it adds an almost chewy texture to the crookie, yet this sesame thin still has a good crunch.
If you don’t like coconut, you won’t like these crookies, because coconut is on both ends of the bite. It’s the first thing you taste and the lingering taste at the end. If you love coconut, you need to try these crookies now!
Another positive about the Crookie is the Thrive Brand and the “Values” it places on its products. This product has “20 Thrive Values”, including organic, non-GMO, Gluten Free, Vegan, Paleo and Kosher. In total, Thrive Market has over 70 values. (You can check all those out here.)
IMBHO has always been a big proponent of Thrive Market, and now we’re giving a big IMBHO-yes to Thrive Market’s Organic Crookies. We bet you can’t eat just one… we couldn’t!
