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

Candy Canes and Cookies. <\/p>\n

It has a cute ring to it, doesn\u2019t it? Like the title of a baking blog, or a children\u2019s Christmas story, or even a specialty store that sells holiday-themed socks. But eaten together?<\/p>\n

Sure, we\u2019ve had <\/a>Candy Cane Oreo Cookies, but a part of me has always felt the confection world should never be combined with the creaming method world. It\u2019s sort of like fish and cheese. Conventional wisdom tells us these things just don\u2019t \u201cgo\u201d together, and far be it for drumming up iconoclasm once Christmas comes around.<\/p>\n

Keebler Limited Batch Peppermint Fudge Stripes Cookies change all that. It really shouldn\u2019t be a surprise; I mean, these are cookies baked by magical elves. Yes, they may live in a tree owned by Kellogg\u2019s, but I like to think of the Keebler elves as cousins to Santa\u2019s elves, except more proficient in cookie making than toy making.<\/p>\n

And let me tell you something: The Keebler elves nail the cookie thing here, just like how Santa\u2019s elves nailed my 1997 request for a Nintendo Gameboy. The familiar shortbread cookie base is crunchy, buttery, and not overpoweringly sweet; small bursts of red nonpareils lend a sweet sugar cookie vibe, while the white fudge coating further adds to the frosting-like texture of the cookie.<\/p>\n

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

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

As for the peppermint taste, it\u2019s right where it needs to be. The danger with peppermint anything is that the floral, light taste of mint overwhelms the taste buds and makes you feel like you\u2019re eating a Tic-Tac. Thankfully, that is not the case with these cookies. The peppermint taste is there, but it\u2019s not that rush of winter freshness that comes from binging on a box of candy canes (pro tip: not good). Instead, the floral taste gives a cool relief to the frosting-like white fudge, which has a rich vanilla sweetness.<\/p>\n

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

While Keebler\u2019s elves are clearly taking a page from Santa\u2019s elves in the design of a Christmas themed cookie, what they haven\u2019t managed to do is perfect a flawless packaging and delivery system. The same nonresealable package that plagues Fudge Stripes houses the limited edition cookie, while the white fudge coating had melted by the time I opened the package. The ensuing peppermint white fudge, while lickable and probably awesome on cupcakes, was stickier and harder to wash off my paws than the sugar coating of a half-eaten candy cane.<\/p>\n

You gotta give it to the Keebler elves. After years of offering plain Fudge Stripes (which are delicious) they\u2019ve tinkered their treehouse production facilities and expanded into <\/a>pumpkin spice, <\/a>birthday cake, <\/a>cookies & creme, and now peppermint. I\u2019m not saying these would be a great cookie to leave out for Santa, but yeah, with the frosted shortbread cookie vibe, crunchy vanilla, and peppermint sweetness, I am kind of saying that.<\/p>\n

Purchased Price:<\/b> $2.00
\nSize:<\/b> 11.5 oz
\nPurchased at:<\/b> United Supermarkets
\nRating:<\/b> 8 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Fresh and floral peppermint taste that doesn\u2019t linger on your tongue like a candy cane. Crunchy shortbread cookie with rich white fudge and crunchy vanilla flavor. Would make a solid seasonal ice cream sandwich base.
\nCons:<\/b> Keebler\u2019s absolute reluctance to embrace resealable packaging. White fudge coating can melt and be messy. Limited appeal for non-peppermint lovers. The politics of elf family trees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
