Let it be known that if you come over to my apartment at 7:30 with a voracious appetite, an empty plate, and a demand to be filled with a joy that surpasses that of a ghost hunter finding the apparition of Aristotle at the back of a gas station, then you are liable to get dished a plate of cookies for dinner. <\/p>\n

If you like spice cake, crunchy things, and a dauntingly bountiful amount of orange-checkered packaging, you probably wouldn\u2019t mind if you came over today. <\/p>\n

\"Keebler<\/a><\/p>\n

Before chomping in, let us admire the contrasting aesthetics of the Fudge Stripe: the parallel lines, the perfect ring shape, the little geometric bibbelty-bobs that pock the surface. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s a pattern that could rival the most intricate of doilies and possibly compete for the world\u2019s best cross-stitching design, although I\u2019m not 100 percent certain of that last statement. The only time I tried cross-stitching, I ended up with a \u201cscarf\u201d that looked like a beach towel gnawed off by Godzilla.<\/p>\n

What I do know is that, after over 30 years, Ernie Keebler still knows how to make a mighty fine stripe cookie. Never one to hold back on the sugar intake, the cookie\u2019s been generously shoveled with three variants of the sweet stuff, highlighting the earthy molasses against all the varieties of fructose. Combine that woodsy taste with a crunchy base, some sweet, mildly flavored white fudge stripes, and a zip of ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg and this bugger might as well be the perfect pumpkin pie crust.<\/p>\n

But heed my warning, fellow pumpkin maniacs: there is no actual pumpkin here. I was a little bummed out before acknowledging that, as with all goods of the \u201cPumpkin Spice\u201d ilk, I am only promised spices, not necessarily squash, and, with a cookie so fine and limited in its presence, how can I complain? (I can\u2019t.)<\/p>\n

\"Keebler<\/a><\/p>\n

Welp, that was a fine dinner. If you fall head over heels for the warm spices of autumn and enjoy a depth of sweetness with your spice, these are worth picking up, if only to test them out on your own taste buds. Could the cookie be crispier? Could the soft, sweet fudge benefit from less hydrogenated oil and more vanilla? Could the Keebler elfin army deliver these to my door, equipped with complimentary magical talking woodland creatures?<\/p>\n

Sure, but, far above these idealistic visions, my need for cookies reigns. As it always should.<\/p>\n

\nPros:<\/b> Crunchy cookie. Just enough molasses. Zippy ginger. Fudge is everywhere. Geometry! The experience of using \u201cbibbelty-bob\u201d in a sentence. Finding the ghost of Aristotle at the back of a gas station.
\nCons:<\/b> No pumpkin involved. Fudge could use more vanilla. Hydrogenated oils crush dreams. Not delivered by a magical elfin army. Failed cross-stitching projects that look like they were gnawed off by an overgrown prehistoric lizard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
