I have to say, while I've definitely had weeks that blew me away more in the past, this lineup still had some tasty moments. It wasn't my absolute favorite, but there were definitely some gems worth trying.
First up, the Caramel Apple cookie. Visually, it was a stunner! That swirled frosting, generous caramel drizzle, and those little diced green apples on top really made it look inviting. My rating for this one landed at a 6/10. I felt like it delivered exactly what it promised visually, but the apple flavor itself was a bit subtle, and I wished for a stronger apple kick to balance the sweetness of the caramel. It was good, don't get me wrong, but perhaps not as intensely "apple pie" as I hoped.
Next, the classic Milk Chocolate Chip cookie. This one was already sliced into triangles on my plate, which is always a nice touch for sharing (or, let's be real, for enjoying multiple pieces myself!). I gave this a 5/10 this week. As a classic, it's hard to mess up too badly, but I found this particular batch just a little bit... average. It was chewy and had a good amount of chocolate chips, but it didn't have that extra 'oomph' that makes a chocolate chip cookie truly memorable. Sometimes the classics shine, and sometimes they just blend in.
Then came the Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie cookie. This one looked incredibly rich with its dark crust, generous peanut butter filling, chocolate drizzle, and crumble topping. I rated it a 6/10. My initial thought was, "Wow, this tastes exactly like a Reese's!" If you're a fan of that classic candy, you'll probably love this. For me, it was a bit on the heavier side, and while the flavors were spot on, I could only manage a small piece before feeling completely satisfied. It's definitely a cookie for serious peanut butter chocolate lovers.
But the real standout for me this week was the Tres Leches dessert. Presented in a rectangular foil container, topped with fluffy whipped cream and a delicate sprinkle of cinnamon, this one really impressed me. I gave it a solid 8/10! It was genuinely good – incredibly moist, not overly sweet, and had that perfect milky saturation that a good Tres Leches should. It felt less like a cookie and more like a proper dessert, which was a welcome change. If you're looking for something lighter (in texture, not calories, perhaps!) and wonderfully flavorful, this is it.
Overall, it was a decent week. While not every cookie hit a home run for me, the Tres Leches certainly did, and the others offered good, if not groundbreaking, experiences.
Now, let's talk about Crumbl cookie delivery, especially for those who can't make it to the store! I've used their delivery service quite a few times, and it's super convenient. You can easily place an order through their app or website. I usually check the app first thing on Monday to see the weekly flavors and then decide if I want to pick up or have them delivered. Delivery fees can vary based on your location and the specific store, so always check that before you finalize your order. I've found that sometimes ordering a bit earlier in the day helps avoid longer wait times, especially on weekends when they're super busy.
One tip I always recommend is to double-check your order when it arrives. On rare occasions, a cookie might be slightly mixed up, or toppings might have shifted a bit during transit. It's always good to make sure everything is perfect! Also, keep an eye out for any delivery promotions Crumbl might run. Sometimes they offer discounted delivery or even free delivery with a minimum purchase, which is a great way to save a little.
For me, the best way to enjoy Crumbl cookies is usually slightly warmed up, especially the ones with gooey centers or chocolate chips. It just enhances the flavor and texture! And if you have leftovers (which, let's be honest, doesn't always happen!), storing them in an airtight container at room temperature usually keeps them fresh for a day or two. Some cookies, like the chilled ones or cheesecakes, are definitely better kept in the fridge.
I'm already looking forward to seeing what next week's flavors bring. That's the fun of Crumbl, right? There's always something new to try!
