Yeah, this train never sleeps
Brace yourself, take a seat
Don’t you care about the casualties, casualties
‘Cause it’s safe when it’s just you and me, you and me

I finally tried Crumbl cookies for the first time the other day. I prefer savory over sweet. But people have been raving about them, so I figured, why not? They were goodβ€”dense, sweet, and definitely indulgentβ€”but I gotta say, they still don’t beat Levain Bakery for me. Levain has that gooey-meets-crispy magic that’s hard to beat.

A coworker brought in a box and cut the cookies into bite-sized pieces, which was smart because those things are massive. I popped a couple of pieces in my mouth and thought, okay yeah, this is pretty decadent.

Then I made the mistake of looking up and checking the nutrition info on their site. I stared at the numbers in disbeliefβ€”calories, cholesterol, sodium, sugar, carbs… and quietly muttered to myself, β€œwhat the actual fuck.” It’s like they managed to compress an entire day’s worth of bad decisions into a single cookie. We’re talking 700 to 910 calories per cookie. PER. MF. COOKIE. And everything else on that label? Just as criminal. It’s basically a salt and sugar bomb disguised as a cute dessert.

Thank god my coworker sliced them into eighths. I had two pieces and then slid the rest over to my assistant, who’d mentioned she wanted to try them.

Delicious? Yes. Dangerous? Also yes. Proceed with caution.

    Yes that’s a lot of calories, but you deserve to indulge sometimes. Crumbl is very good. They opened one here. I don’t go every week, but i go moderately. As long as you eat the cookies moderately, I think you will be fine. I’m not going to lie. They are delicious.

      The strawberry cheesecake was so damn good. 😩 I normally am not into sweets but this was an exception

    Yes, the strawberry cheesecake sounds really good. Yes, me neither, but sometimes it is all right in moderation.

    1. justrojie Avatar

      Very true! In this case small moderation cause it’s got so much in it πŸ˜†

    I’ve recently started paying attention to my sugar intake, and it’s shocking how much sugar is in EVERYTHING.

    Anything sweet is a danger in my world- whatever it is I will polish it off in a day or two and then hate myself. Life is not fair!

    1. justrojie Avatar

      Life def isn’t fair! I could have eaten at least half of a cookie but then felt like shit afterward. 😩

    That’s a load of calories. I think look at them as motivation to work out πŸ˜†

  12. Maddie Cochere Avatar

    I know! The amount of calories, sugar, carbs, chemicals, etc. that get packed into food is astounding! And yep, everything that tastes good has so many calories. πŸ™
