As the leaves change colors (unless you live somewhere mostly devoid of leaves AND four seasons, like I do), autumn flavors increase their annual grip on our collective consciousness.<\/p>\n
I have seen more maple-flavored offerings in the last few years, but it feels underrepresented compared to pumpkin spice anything. But Keebler is doing its part to keep the cookie field diverse with its new Special Batch Fudge Stripes Maple Cr\u00e8me Cookies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Upon opening the package, I am hit with a friendly aroma of maple. It is warm and sweet without being overbearing. Maple flavoring must be difficult to properly implement because I have had some maple-oriented foods that were far too strong. The smell is a good sign.<\/p>\n
The cookies are somewhat difficult to pry apart, which I do not remember being the case with traditional Fudge Stripes. This bears no real impact on the product, but it feels worth mentioning. It is likely an effect of the maple cr\u00e8me melting during shipping and then re-solidifying.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
The cookies have the same pleasant shortbread base as the original Fudge Stripes. Biting into them yields a rewarding crunch. The maple-flavored cr\u00e8me immediately hits my taste buds, and I am pleasantly surprised. It is not overly strong at all. If anything, it is a bit too subdued, but being able to taste the shortbread cookie beyond the maple cr\u00e8me is welcome.<\/p>\n
Compared to an average maple donut, these are considerably milder. The cr\u00e8me is smooth and sweet, acting as an appropriate vessel for the maple. It has the same consistency as Fudge Stripes\u2019 usual fudge. <\/p>\n
My mother makes a \u201ccookie salad,\u201d which is like a form of ambrosia-style fruit salad with crushed up Fudge Stripes. I can see the maple cr\u00e8me version being a nice addition for a dessert dish in a similar manner. The flavor is restrained enough to add a hint of maple goodness without taking over. <\/p>\n
Keebler Fudge Stripes Maple Cr\u00e8me Cookies are a solid seasonal offering and did a fine job bringing the familiar fall flavor to my mouth. While the maple could stand to be a little stronger, these cookies are well-rounded and offer some much-needed seasonal comfort.<\/p>\n
