... Read moreOkay, so my husband surprised me with these King Krumb cookies from Walmart, and the hype is REAL! I've seen so many people comparing them to Crumbl, and honestly, that's what got me excited to try them. For $5.97 a box for two generously sized cookies, it feels like a steal if they truly live up to the comparison.
First up, I had the Decadent Chocolate Chunk cookie. Wow. It lives up to its name! The chocolate chunks are incredibly generous and melt perfectly in your mouth, creating a rich, gooey experience with every bite. The cookie itself is wonderfully soft, chewy, and has that perfect thick, substantial texture that makes you feel like you're eating a freshly baked gourmet cookie. It's definitely a rich and satisfying experience, and if you're a chocolate lover, this one is an absolute winner. The freshness date on the package, 07/28/25, gave me confidence they’d be good, and they truly were.
Next, I dived into the Confetti Birthday Cake flavor. This one was so much fun! It really captures that classic birthday cake vibe with vibrant, colorful sprinkles throughout. The flavor is sweet, distinctly vanilla-forward, and just screams celebration – exactly what you'd expect from a birthday cake cookie. It's a joyful cookie, perfect for a treat when you want something bright and cheerful. The texture was equally soft and moist, consistently excellent across both flavors. I noticed another package also featured a Triple Chocolate Fudge cookie, and I can only imagine how intensely rich and fudgy that must be for serious cocoa fans!
Now for the big question everyone's asking: Are King Krumb cookies a Crumbl dupe? In terms of their impressive size and the signature soft, thick, and chewy texture, they are remarkably similar. They both have that gourmet, bakery-style feel, and the sweetness level is comparable, hitting that sweet spot without being overly cloying. Where they might differ slightly is in the specific flavor profiles and topping complexities – Crumbl often has a rotating menu with more elaborate and unique toppings. However, for an everyday, affordable cookie that gives you that luxurious, fresh-baked bakery experience, King Krumb from Walmart comes incredibly, incredibly close. For the price, it’s an absolute win!
Honestly, spending $5.97 for two cookies that taste this good and feel so premium is fantastic. I’d definitely repurchase these. They’re perfect for satisfying that intense cookie craving without breaking the bank or waiting in a long line. If you see them at your local Walmart, especially the decadent chocolate chunk or confetti birthday cake, grab a box (or two!). You won't regret treating yourself!
