They crunch like cookies. They are something Cookie Monster will call &#8220;sometimes food,&#8221; but stuff his face with it EVERY time no one is looking at his googly eyes.<\/p>\n<p>But the thing is, they may look like cookies, they may crunch like cookies, and they may cause Cookie Monster to dump crumbs on the head of his puppeteer, but Mrs. Freshley&#8217;s Chocolate Cake Crisps smell and taste EXACTLY like chocolate cake. <\/p>\n<p>Seriously. <\/p>\n<p>Go crash kids birthday parties until you find one with chocolate cake, sing Happy Birthday with everyone else, grab your slice, come up with a cover so you can mingle with strangers, eat the cake, pop a Chocolate Cake Crisp into your mouth, compare it with cake, get a high five from the birthday boy or girl, and then slip out of the party with a balloon or two in your hands, or maybe the pi\u00f1ata.<\/p>\n<p>Or go to a child&#8217;s first birthday party and swipe the kid&#8217;s smash cake. What&#8217;s are smash cakes? They&#8217;ve been around for years, but they&#8217;re something I just learned about. Go Google it and see all the parents who have to explain to their children why as one-year-olds they get to make a huge mess they don&#8217;t have to clean up, but as eight-year-olds they can&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>Once you do all that, you&#8217;ll find out that these Cake Crisps are like concentrated cake. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Mrs.-Freshleys-Chocolate-Cake-Crisps-2.jpg?resize=640%2C384\" alt=\"Mrs Freshley s Chocolate Cake Crisps 2\" title=\"Mrs. Freshley's Chocolate Cake Crisps 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"640\" height=\"384\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Each one is about the same size as a Thin Mint and they look like the love child of a Nilla Wafer and a chocolate Oreo wafer. And did I mention they smell AND taste exactly like chocolate cake? My goodness, they are wonderful. They also made me wish I had Duncan Hines or Pillsbury frosting to dip them in.<\/p>\n<p>The bag was hard to put down, until I read the nutrition facts which said eating the entire package would give me 45 percent of my daily saturated fat. I also thought it was odd that about three-fourths into chewing on one, the cake flavor disappears. It\u2019s super weird. It\u2019s like you\u2019re eating cake in a dream, but you wake up in the middle of eating it and realize you\u2019ve been chewing on a pillow. And when the cake flavor disappears, I noticed, on occasion, smalls bursts of saltiness. That&#8217;s not a pleasant way to end something that tastes really good at first.<\/p>\n<p>But with that said, I think Mrs. Freshley&#8217;s Chocolate Cake Crisps are worth a try and I think Cookie Monster would agree.<\/p>\n<p><em><b>Disclosure:<\/b> I received free Mrs. Freshley&#8217;s Chocolate Cake Crisps samples from the PR firm that represents them.
