Never in my life have I seen a cookie that looks like what\u2019s on the package of this Walgreens-exclusive Brach\u2019s Chocolate Mint Cookie Candy Corn. I\u2019m pretty sure they designed the candy corn first and then invented a cookie that looked like it.<\/p>\n
But they could have saved themselves the trouble of inventing new cookies if they just called it \u201cChocolate Mint Candy Corn.\u201d There is nothing particularly \u201ccookie\u201d about it, and chocolate mint is novel enough as it is.<\/p>\n
When I open up the bag, I get a strong whiff of Shamrock Shake. If blindfolded, I might think I was at McDonald\u2019s six months ago instead of in my work\u2019s break room at the cusp of fall.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The white tip tastes like ordinary candy corn. The green center is vaguely spearmint, but not as overpowering as those green starlight mints they sell at the gas station. I thought the chocolate end would taste like Brach\u2019s perennial Indian corn; it doesn\u2019t, but that might be because the mint has infiltrated everything. Altogether, the candies have a fake chocolate, fake mint flavor to them.<\/p>\n
I have to admit my biases: I like candy corn. I like mint. And I like fake chocolate flavors. Therefore, I find these decent. But I suspect many consumers will find them unappetizing.<\/p>\n

They taste like watery instant mint hot chocolate – you know, made with water instead of milk and not nearly enough powder. But if you want something decadent, you\u2019re not going to be looking at candy corn anyway.<\/p>\n
The concept of this candy is really weird<\/em>. Some weird things are disgusting. Some weird things are awesome. But this particular weird thing falls somewhere in between.<\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/b> $3.49 Never in my life have I seen a cookie that looks like what\u2019s on the package of this Walgreens-exclusive Brach\u2019s Chocolate Mint Cookie Candy Corn.
