Almond Joy CookiesName: Almond Joy Cookies  I know they say they’re cookies, but if something is coated in real chocolate and has a creamy filling, it’s probably a candy. I mean, no one calls Twix a cookie. I tried the York version of these over the summer and absolutely loved them. They fixed everything that’s wrong with the Girl Scout Thin Mints ... York Peppermint Patty cookies have no trans fats and real chocolate. The Almond Joy cookies aren’t quite as revolutionary, but they’re dang tasty. It starts with a crisp chocolate cookie on the bottom then is slathered in a lighter coconut cream (not as dense as the center of an Almond Joy) that has some crushed almonds mixed in. The whole thing is dipped in real milk chocolate. It was very coco-nutty tasting, very smooth. Sweet, but with a lot of different textures including a little hit of salt from the cookie. They’re really pricey for a cookie, but only slightly more expensive than a regular candy bar. The serving size on the package says all four cookies, but I was pretty satisfied with only two of them.

The Reese’s cookies are every bit that good.
Ooh! I’m excited, I got some Reese’s ones and the Hershey’s with Almonds.
Not only that, the wrappers count towards my free Hershey’s tee shirts!
i’m usually down w/ you people on these things but i am NOT loving these cookies. hadn’t tried the almond joy (thank you cybele for writing that one up) but the rest, bleh. part of the problem may be that it’s been too hot for the choc to stay solid. they all seem gooey and ick. no balls, man
Loved the coconut ones and can’t wait untill they come out. I shopped every store around and into Dallas for them after my bag was empty.
