Another Pamela's Review

I found one of the missing packs of organic cookie samples.  Paul is now only accused of eating two of them by himself.  It was the Dark Chocolate-Chocolate Chunk option.

I liked these.  They were very chocolate-y.  Dark chocolate.  The chunks didn't have the same deep, rich, dark chocolate flavour, but they were a good match to the cookie.  I loved that the chunks were just soft enough to melt in my mouth without being all melted on the cookie.  The cookie itself was a good balance between crunchy and chewy.  It wasn't soft and floppy when I held it, but it was easy to bite and dissolved while I chewed while still having texture. I would describe the texture a little bit like chewing sugar crystals, except they were chocolate.  I liked these cookies.

We tried the corn bread mix this week.  We weren't planning to use it, but Paul was making a brisket and we needed something to eat with it.  What about corn bread?  Okay.  We started to read the directions and found an additional recipe for Cranberry Orange Corn Muffins.  We made those.

These corn muffins were good and will be made again.  We loved the cranberry orange combo.  Question is, will we purchase this mix or make our own?  It was difficult to separate the super yummy flavour from what, specifically, the mix gave to the muffin.  This was made more difficult by the fact that we baked these on the bottom rack (brisket was still in the oven) so they stuck to our liners and the "crusts" were a little thicker.

You can see the stuck bits in Alayna's picture.  Yes, she really likes brisket.

The texture on these were spot on for the way we like corn bread.  While they were light muffins they had that cornmeal feel in the mouth.  We like that.  Our last homemade cornbread had too much, because we used some rather coarse cornmeal.
