This one surprised me. Instead of being sweet or creamy like most PSL-inspired drinks, both the hot and iced versions leaned heavily on spice and bitter coffee. The pumpkin was basically absent, leaving behind a drink that felt more like a spiced latte than anything seasonal. The hot version was sharp and strong — not…
This week’s Crumbl lineup had a little bit of everything: heavy chocolate, nostalgic fun, and fall-inspired flavours. Some stood out, while others felt more like filler. Here’s how they stacked up for me, from best to worst. 🥇Top Cookie of the Week: Chocolate Peanut Butter Sandwich Rich, indulgent, but perfectly balanced. The chocolate and peanut…
Don’t expect pumpkin pie. This cookie leans more toward pumpkin crumble — the flavour is closer to a flaky graham cracker with a hint of pumpkin spice. The caramel promised in the name gets lost completely, and the pumpkin itself doesn’t shine as much as you’d hope. Texture-wise, it’s soft and crumbly, almost cake-like. It…
Simple, almost too simple. The cookie melts in your mouth with buttery smoothness, but beyond that there isn’t much to it. It’s not dense, it’s not heavy, it’s not particularly spiced — just a very plain, soft butter cookie. That said, the texture is great: smooth, melt-in-your-mouth, and comforting. But it doesn’t bring enough flavour…
This one’s all about fun. The crispy cookie base is smooth-tasting and simple, while the frosting and colourful sprinkles give it personality. Flavour-wise, it’s basic — sweet sugar cookie, sweet frosting — but that’s the point. The balance works without needing to be complex. The crunch of the cookie contrasts with the creamy frosting nicely,…
The first bite is a sugar rush — the icing is so sweet that it almost completely overshadows the cookie beneath. But once you manage a bite of just the cookie itself, you’re rewarded with something that tastes very much like Biscoff: thick, spiced, and a little crumbly, almost ball-like. It’s a cookie of two…
This one is all about balance. Both the chocolate and peanut butter come through clearly, but neither overpowers the other. It’s rich, yes, but not in a cloying way — and unlike some peanut butter desserts, it doesn’t leave behind that weird aftertaste. The sandwich format gives you a little extra with every bite: smooth,…
At first glance, this cookie promises decadence — thick chocolate with a strawberry swirl. But in reality, the chocolate dominates so heavily that the strawberry feels like an afterthought. It’s there, but only faintly, sneaking in more as an aftertaste than a real presence. The texture is on the denser side — heavier than Crumbl’s…
Despite the colour, this Blizzard is basically cake batter ice cream dressed up in blue. It’s fun, creamy, and kid-friendly, but flavour-wise it’s all about that cake batter base. Ingredients (makes 2 smalls) Instructions Velvet Fork Twist: Toast 2 tbsp dry cake mix in the oven before blending — it adds a deeper, baked-cake flavour…
The first thing you notice is the foam — there’s a surprising amount, more than on a standard latte. Both the hot and iced versions taste impressively close to a regular latte, just thicker and creamier. The fact that there’s no chalky aftertaste is a win; it feels like coffee first, protein boost second. Flavor-wise,…
