A big thanks to \in-dúlj\‘s Dave Payne (@ATLMediaGuy) for giving us the opportunity to sample six varieties of cookies and “Cravin’ Corn.” The B|G crew jumped into our taste test and review party with gusto, the results have been tallied and we’re ready to share (the results that is, we’re keeping the food.) ^_^
Before we get into the nitty gritty of how each confection stacked up, here are our more general conclusions. We’ll start with the cookies.
COOKIES
First off, the majority of our office has a preference for chewy cookies, so that should be kept in mind when reviewing our final score for each product. The crew seemed to enjoy the taste of the cookies, but noted that the texture was a little dry and crumbly.
Secondly, in addition to the rating of each product, we asked the crew to note when they might eat the cookies and what they might pair them with. Here’s what they said…
When Would you Eat the Cookies?
- Afternoon
- Snack
- Party or Night
Favorite Pairings with the Cookies?

*The group overall expected these to be more decadent.
KETTLE CORN
The kettle corn samples that we received were by far the crowd favorite. So much so, that the White Cheddar variety disappeared in record time. And several individuals noted that the Cravin’ Corn made them a little nostalgic as they were reminiscent of more decadent versions of childhood favorites like Fiddle Faddle and Cracker Jack.
When asked when they might enjoy a treat like kettle corn and what they might pair it with, this is what everyone had to say…
