Chewy Gooey Cookies<\/a> we reviewed last year. <\/p>\n<p>What kind of size difference are we talking about? <\/p>\n<p>In cookie terms, they&#8217;re slightly wider than an Oreo. For those of you who&#8217;ve never had an Oreo, I&#8217;m going to put it into terms that might help you understand. If you saw someone with areolas the size of the Chewy Chips Ahoy! Gooey Caramel, you&#8217;d think they&#8217;re normal, unless they had three of them. But if another person had areolas the size of the other Chips Ahoy! Chewy Gooey cookie varieties, you&#8217;d want them to put their shirt back on.<\/p>\n<p>At first, I didn&#8217;t think the cookies were at all gooey, much like the other Gooey varieties, but it turns out they were. I just didn&#8217;t eat them properly. Instead of eating them like any normal human being would, I had to split the cookie in half in order to experience the gooeyness, exactly like what&#8217;s shown on the product&#8217;s packaging.<\/p>\n<p>Who the hell would eat these cookies in a way that involves the same motions used to open a newspaper? If you&#8217;ve watched Sesame Street, you know the proper way to eat cookies involves grabbing a whole bunch of them, throwing them at your mouth, and allowing most of the cookies to fall to the ground while yelling, &#8220;Om nom nom nom!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/27410581@N07\/7173972888\" title=\"View 'Chewy Chips Ahoy Gooey Caramel Closeup' on Flickr.com\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/farm8.staticflickr.com\/7241\/7173972888_9ea832098d.jpg?resize=500%2C375\" alt=\"Chewy Chips Ahoy Gooey Caramel Closeup\" width=\"500\" title=\"Chewy Chips Ahoy Gooey Caramel Closeup\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;d think a Chewy Chips Ahoy! cookie stuffed with gooey caramel would be awesome, like watching kittens yawn, but I can&#8217;t say that it is. <\/p>\n<p>Each cookie is impregnated with a good amount of caramel, but the caramel flavor is lacking. It&#8217;s almost as if I&#8217;m eating regular Chewy Chips Ahoy! cookies, which isn&#8217;t bad, but there should&#8217;ve been more to it. If these cookies had emotions, I would buy a Twix candy bar, eat it in front of them, and then tell the cookies that&#8217;s how caramel should taste with cookies and chocolate. <\/p>\n<p>I looked through the ingredients list and found most of the stuff needed to make caramel, but the list didn&#8217;t specifically say there&#8217;s caramel. It specifically says there are semisweet chocolate chips and lists its ingredients in between sad and happy emoticon mouths, but it doesn&#8217;t do the same for the caramel. I thought that was a bit strange.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the Chewy Chips Ahoy! Gooey Caramel cookies are disappointing. While they&#8217;re decent cookies and have a nice chewiness to them, I can&#8217;t say they&#8217;re addictive, which I think is a pretty good measurement of how good a cookie is. They don&#8217;t make me want to eat them faster than <i>Law &#038; Order<\/i> can rip a story from the headlines.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 2 cookies &#8211; 140 calories, 45 calories from fat, 5 grams of fat, 2.5 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 1.5 grams of polyunsaturated fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 125 milligrams of sodium, 50 milligrams of potassium, 21 grams of carbohydrates, less than 1 gram of fiber, 12 grams of sugar, and 1 gram of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Item:<\/b> Nabisco Chewy Chips Ahoy!
