There\u2019s initially a nice balance between the chocolate and cinnamon, but then the spiciness starts to build. At that moment, my mind thinks that it\u2019s going to start falling into Red Hots candy or Big Red gum territory. The build-up doesn\u2019t go over to that burning, cheap cinnamon side. But because it\u2019s so close, the taste that lingers in my mouth after eating one is similar to the flavor that stays after spitting out a chewed piece of Big Red. <\/p>\n<p>The cookies have actual cinnamon, but, to be honest, the aftertaste kind of ruins the crispy snack for me. If this were an Oreo, that cheap cinnamon would be appropriate. But, the Milano is marketed as sophisticated and the Big Red-like aftertaste doesn\u2019t make me think that.<\/p>\n<p>If Pepperidge Farm wants to sell a Mexican Hot Chocolate Milano, it could just repackage this, and most people won\u2019t know. Heck, in the same amount of time it takes for the cheap cinnamon flavor to fade completely, I did the graphic design work for a Mexican Hot Chocolate Milano. You\u2019re welcome, P.F.!<\/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\/2018\/11\/Pepperidge-Farm-Cinnamon-Chocolate-Milano-Cookies-4.jpg?resize=550%2C550&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Pepperidge Farm Cinnamon Chocolate Milano Cookies 4\" title=\"Pepperidge Farm Cinnamon Chocolate Milano Cookies 4.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"550\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I can\u2019t say I 100 percent enjoyed these Cinnamon Chocolate Milano Cookies.
