... Read moreOkay, so who else gets sucked into buying random new treats at Walmart? This time, my latest impulse buy for Valentine's Day was these wild NEW FREEZE DRIED SKITTLES cookies! Seriously, when I first saw them, I was like, a COOKIE REVIEW?! But also, Skittles and *freeze-dried*? My curiosity was piqued, and honestly, I couldn't resist. Walmart really does have a bunch of new treats out for Valentine's Day, and this one definitely stood out. Now, let's dive into what these 'Skittles popped candy cookies' are actually like. When you hear "freeze-dried cookies," you might imagine something super light and airy, and these live up to that. They're surprisingly light, almost like a meringue but with a more crumbly, porous texture. They definitely don't feel like your traditional chewy cookie. The freeze-drying process transforms the cookie itself into a crunchy, melt-in-your-mouth experience that dissolves quickly, leaving behind a powdery sweetness. And the Skittles? Oh, the Skittles! They're embedded in the cookie, and they also undergo a transformation. Instead of their usual chewy, slightly sticky texture, they become super crunchy and intense. Each bite offers a burst of that familiar artificial fruit flavor that you either love or... well, you know. It’s like the Skittles flavors are concentrated, making them pop even more against the subtly sweet cookie base. Personally, I wouldn't be too thrilled to be on the receiving end if I wasn't expecting something this unique, yet I'm still a little too curious when it comes to new food trends like this. So, what's the verdict on these freeze-dried Skittles cookies? If you're an adventurous snacker or a huge fan of freeze-dried candy, you absolutely have to try these. They offer a completely different snacking experience that's both fun and a little bizarre. They're a conversation starter, perfect for sharing (or not sharing!) with friends, especially as a quirky Valentine's Day treat. If you’re looking for a classic, comforting cookie, these aren't it. But if you want to explore the world of freeze-dried snacks beyond just candies, this is a great entry point. I found them near the seasonal candies, among other new Walmart finds for Valentine's Day. They're not just a cookie; they're a whole experience. Give them a try and tell me what you think – are they a surprising hit or a one-time wonder?
