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

I\u2019m starting to think I might have the wrong mailing address for Santa Claus.<\/p>\n

You see, twenty years ago, I sent Santa a letter asking for a Super Soaker CPS 2000. All of the kids in my neighborhood were getting one, so I just had to get one too. I\u2019d be blasting my friends in the face with ice cold water in no time!<\/p>\n

But there was one problem\u2026the Super Soaker CPS 2000 never came. Surely there was just a mistake at the North Pole Postal Service\u2014they\u2019re very busy during this time of year. So every December since, I\u2019ve written Santa a letter asking for a brand new Super Soaker CPS 2000. You\u2019re probably thinking, \u201cBen, you loser, you\u2019re an adult! You can\u2019t go around playing with Super Soakers, even if you do get one.\u201d Ha! The joke\u2019s on you. I\u2019m a grown male who still writes letters to Santa Claus. Do you really expect me to care about what people think of me playing with a Super Soaker? Who\u2019s the loser now?<\/p>\n

Just to make sure Santa stops by my house this year, I\u2019ll be leaving him these new Pepperidge Farm Toasted Marshmallow Milano Cookies. I hope Santa isn\u2019t a s\u2019mores lover; these cookies aren\u2019t made to include any graham flavor whatsoever. Instead, Toasted Marshmallow Milano cookies are just regular Milano cookies with an additional marshmallow-flavored layer.<\/p>\n

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

Well, at least I think there\u2019s an additional marshmallow-flavored layer. Toasted Marshmallow Milano cookies have a sugary, creamy flavor to them, but it\u2019s hard to tell whether that\u2019s distinctly \u201cmarshmallow\u201d or if it\u2019s just coming from the milk chocolate layer. Either way, it\u2019s certainly not toasted. I\u2019m not saying Pepperidge Farm had to dip each of these cookies in liquid smoke \u2014 that would actually be pretty disgusting \u2014 but with a name like \u201cToasted Marshmallow,\u201d I would hope that these Milano cookies could have some semblance of being toasted.<\/p>\n

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

I searched for a toasted flavor in the cookie, too. No luck. It\u2019s just the same standard Milano cookie, like a lighter shortbread. Its rich, floury-yet-buttery flavor is good, but it dominates the overall flavor of the cookie. Aside from a few lucky bites, the cookie tends to overpower the flavors within \u2014 and that<\/em> is the real problem with Toasted Marshmallow Milano cookies. You can taste \u201cmarshmallow\u201d and milk chocolate, but never together. In short, these cookies are pretty good, but not nearly as great as they could have been.<\/p>\n

If the last twenty years have taught me anything, it\u2019s how to deal with failed expectations. But as Pepperidge Farm just taught me, two can play that game.<\/p>\n

\nPros:<\/b> Marshmallow and milk chocolate layers are sweet and creamy. Familiar rich, buttery cookie. Learning life lessons. The North Pole Postal Service.
\nCons:<\/b> Not toasted. Shortbread cookie dominates the overall flavor. Still wishing for a Super Soaker CPS 2000. Passive-aggressively leaving one cookie for Santa Claus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
