Crumbl weekly overview November 16-22 2025

This week at Crumbl was one of those lineups that didn’t look particularly wild on paper but ended up delivering a really comforting, unexpectedly cohesive set of flavours. Even with a few misses, the overall vibe leaned nostalgic, calm, and dessert-table-at-grandma’s rather than sugar chaos — and honestly, it worked. This was a week built on textures, warmth, and familiar flavours, but with just enough Crumbl twists to keep things interesting.

Cookies & Cream Tres Leches Cake — Dessert Takeover Done Right

Starting with the standout: the Cookies & Cream Tres Leches Cake was one of the better dessert crossovers they’ve done. It didn’t lean overly soggy, nor was it drowned in chocolate. Instead, it settled into a surprisingly elegant balance of moisture, chocolate, and cream. The chill factor was what pulled it all together — cold desserts always hit differently, and this one made its case loud and clear.

Double Fudge Brownie Cookie — Pure Comfort in Cookie Form

Then we had the Double Fudge Brownie, which basically decided to be the gooey centre of a brownie without any of the mess. Soft, chewy, rich, indulgent… but not over the top. Crumbl has done chocolate-heavy cookies that taste like a dental bill waiting to happen, but this one wasn’t that — it was warm, smooth, and nostalgic in the most comforting way.

Peanut Butter Cup Skillet Cookie — A One-Note Hit for PB Lovers Only

Next came the Peanut Butter Cup Skillet Cookie, which was bold, loud, and absolutely unapologetic in its peanut-butter-first identity. For me, the peanut butter overwhelmed everything else, but if someone loves PB as a dominant flavour, this is tailor-made for them. This was a cookie entirely dependent on personal preference — great in concept, not my favourite in reality.

Iced Oatmeal Cookie — A Rare Miss

The Iced Oatmeal Cookie fell flatter than expected. Instead of the classic oat texture — the rustic, chewy bite that defines an oatmeal cookie — this one leaned too blended, almost like the oats had been smoothed into the dough. It tasted like oatmeal, but it didn’t feel like oatmeal, and that disconnect made a big difference. The icing didn’t help either; it made an already soft cookie even softer, without adding anything meaningful in return.

Blueberry Pancake Cookie — Delicious but Fragile

The Blueberry Pancake Cookie was the opposite problem: delicious flavour, almost no structural integrity. The pancake-like softness was true to concept, and the blueberry centre was genuinely tasty, but the distribution was uneven. The first few bites were mild, and then suddenly — boom — blueberry. If this had been more consistent, it would’ve scored much higher.

Banana Pudding — The Surprise Winner of the Week

And finally, Banana Pudding closed the lineup on a high note. This one was genuinely impressive — light, silky, nostalgic, and balanced in a way Crumbl rarely nails with non-cookie desserts. It was banana cream pie energy without the heaviness, with a texture that actually improved the longer it chilled. Completely unexpected, but absolutely earned its spot as the quiet standout.

⭐ Overall Thoughts — A Calm, Cozy, Comfort-Focused Week

What made this week work was the general softness of everything: soft textures, gentle flavours, nothing too aggressive or overly experimental. Even the misses were more “this didn’t quite hit texture-wise” rather than “this is bad.”

The highlights — Tres Leches, Double Fudge Brownie, and Banana Pudding — were strong enough to carry the lineup, and even the average cookies filled their role without dragging the week down.

If every Crumbl week were this balanced, the overall experience would feel much more consistent across the board.
