This snack review has White Chocolate Toasty Vanilla M&M’s, Aldi Bake Shop Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies, Werther’s Original Cookie Butter Creme Holiday Caramels, and Dunkin’ Donuts Whoopie Pie Donut.
M&M’s White Chocolate Toasty Vanilla
Score: 8 / 10
Both bigger and sweeter than your average M&M. And as advertised, these have a super sweet vanilla white chocolate flavor… not much “toastiness,” though.
Released in early November for the 2023 Christmas season.
Aldi Bake Shop Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Cookies
Score: 8 / 10
Wow, these are so thick, chewy, and moist. These cookies, from outside to in, remind me almost of a homemade pumpkin roll; you literally get that pumpkiny texture. I just love it! In terms of sweetness, it’s decently sweet, and there’s also a bold, authentic pumpkin taste. If anything, these need cream cheese frosting!
This is an Aldi exclusive product. Likely released for the fall season.
Werther’s Original Cookie Butter Creme Holiday Caramels
Score: 7 / 10
One of the best Werther’s Originals I’ve had. It’s so sweet! The texture is that of a typical one with a soft-hard caramel shell and a softish center. This center is super sweet and tastes like you mixed cookie butter, cinnamon, and too much sugar.
Released around September 2023 for the holidays. Found at Aldi.
Dunkin’ Donuts Whoopie Pie Donut
Score: 6 / 10
It’s just their glazed chocolate donut chopped in half and then stuffed with semi-sweet, thick whipped cream. Personally, I’m not the biggest fan of their chocolate donut, but the added whipped cream was a nice touch.
Released in early November 2023 exclusively for certain areas for the winter season, especially around the New England area where the Whoopie Pie originated.
