Coffee mate Nestle Toll House Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Creamer Bottle

I haven’t watched any of the nine films from the Fast & Furious movie franchise. But I have now tried all three coffee creamers from the Coffee mate Nestle Toll House Cookie Creamer franchise. The latest release is the Nestle Coffee mate Nestle Toll House Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Creamer. Oh, that name rolls off the tongue and keeps rolling like a bottle of Coffee mate on a hill.

I’m pretty sure I’ve eaten multiple foods with brown butter in or on them, but I didn’t know what it actually was until now. At the time, I was more concerned with eating those foods than knowing what brown butter was. Hunger can cause that sometimes. Pardon my ignorance, foodies.

But now I’m a few credits shy of a BA in brown butter. It turns out it’s simple to make (melt butter slowly over low heat, wait for it to foam, and then let that white foam turn brown).

When I added the creamer to my usual daily caffeine vehicle cold brew coffee, I noticed some of the same chocolate flavors in Coffee mate’s Nestle Toll House Cookies’ N Cocoa, the second in the series. However, the similarities end there because this creamer has a noticeable brown sugar cookie flavor, which the previous one lacked. I don’t know if the brown butter flavors are the cause, but I’m happy they’re there. Also, this creamer smells so delightful that I want a candle with its aroma.

But here’s the thing, I remember the original Coffee mate Nestle Toll House Chocolate Chip Cookie Creamer, which was the catalyst for my daily coffee consumption, had a delightful cookie flavor too. So it makes me wonder if this one differs from the original, which came out in 2014.

Overall, Coffee mate’s Nestle Toll House Brown Butter Chocolate Chip Cookie Creamer is a delicious addition to the seasonal Coffee mate line. It’s tasty enough that I’d like to see it become a regular flavor, or at least a regular seasonal flavor that joins Pumpkin Spice and Peppermint Mocha.

REVIEW: Twix Cookie Dough

Twix Cookie Dough Wrapper

I have no substantial evidence, but I have a feeling the new Twix Cookie Dough might be a Twix Cookies & Creme but with a classic Twix cookie bar instead of a chocolate one. One piece of proof I have is that it’s not beneath Mars to slightly tweak a Twix to generate a new variety. See: Twix Salted Caramel.

But that’s circumstantial evidence, and I might be watching too much Law & Order.

The product’s press release says the new candy bar combines the classic Twix cookie bars with a cookie dough-flavored layer sprinkled with chocolate cookie bits, all of which are coated with milk chocolate.

The use of chocolate cookie bits instead of tiny chocolate chips is what initially made me question the cookie dough layer and wonder if it’s the same one from the older Twix variety. Because when it comes to cookie dough-flavored products, it’s usually the combination of something that replicates the sugary dough and bits of chocolate or something that tries to emulate the taste AND feel of chocolate, and that’s not what the cookie dough layer in this Twix has.

When I eat the layer on its own, I don’t think of cookie dough. Although, to be fair, I don’t immediately think of cookies and creme either. It does have a sugary, vanilla-ish flavor with bursts of chocolate from the dark bits, which you could convince a jury via taste or appearance that it’s either cookie dough or cookies and creme.

But the bar, when eaten whole and not layer by layer, does convince me that it’s cookie dough-flavored. However, it’s not the black and off-white layer that makes me think that way. It’s the crunchy cookie bar, and because it tastes like it provides all the dough flavor, I feel Mars reused its cookies and creme layer for this candy.

I rest my case, Your Honor.

My verdict: Twix Cookie Dough is a delicious candy bar with a noticeable cookie dough flavor. Although I have my suspicions about it, they shouldn’t prevent anyone from trying it.

(NOTE: Twix Cookie Dough will be available nationwide in December 2022. Samples were sent to 1,000 Twix fans who entered a drawing in June to try the candy bar early. And some of those folks sold their samples on eBay, which is how I got my hands on some. And because I got them from a seller on eBay who had to ship it across the country, they look like they might’ve stared for a moment at the Ark of the Covenant after it opened.)

Update: We tried it! Click here to read our review.

I just realized I should just put out a cup of this for Santa. It’s cookie-flavored and it looks like milk. I mean, I’m just trying to save Santa some time. Eating cookies and washing it down with milk must be time consuming. So wouldn’t it be better if he could drink the cookie and something milk-like at the same time. And I’m totally not trying to make Santa’s life easier because I want him to stop giving me lumps of coal. (Spotted by Holly at Winn-Dixie.)
