Wow! Here's what happened: I bought this cookie because I love Maxine's other products, and I was curious. I gravitate towards chocolate but wanted to give this a try. So I order it, along with a variety of chocolate cookies.
A week later, I get this email with the subject line: “Hi Jonathan, share your thoughts about Almond Marzipan Cookie.” I deleted it immediately, slightly irritated. I haven’t gotten to it yet! Slow down. And I don’t have time for reviews or junk mail. I’m too busy. Leave me alone!
Four days later, I’m craving something sweet but not chocolate, so I bite into this Almond Marzipan. I audibly said “WOW!” as I was instantly transported to July 2003 during a study abroad trip to Toledo, Spain—one of the cities that claims to have originated marzipan. I’m not kidding. Transported through time and space, a total sense memory.
So, I take the time to dig through my deleted items folder to find that aforementioned irritating email to write this review.
Wow. Buying more soon.
All 3 varieties were excellent. The chocolate fudge was, however, outstanding. I will soon be placing another order!
All I can say is, it was GOOD! I was surprised! It’s a shame Maxine’s isn’t selling them in a box! Then again … A box wouldn’t last me long at all!!! Great taste and texture.
