PRODUCT REVIEW - Duane Reade Delish Gluten Free Animal Cookies

(image found on Triumph Dining's website. They did a review of both Delish GF snack products: ginger snaps and animal cookies)

I fondly remember animal crackers from my childhood. The friendly box, the fun animal shapes, the convenient strap so you could carry it around like a purse (or a men's carry-all). I would like to maliciously eat the heads off the animals first, just to show them who's boss.

There's 2 reasons why these cookies are great: 1, because they're gluten free, and 2, because it looks really odd for an adult to buy animal crackers for their own snack, If you have a kid, that's fine. But these look so much more "grown-up" then the kid version.

Oh ya, there's another reason why these cookies are great: they're DELICIOUS!! I seriously ate half the bag yesterday. They taste BETTER than the original cookie. They're crunchy, sweet, have a touch of honey (I think this is the secret ingredient), and they taste just like regular cookies. They're fantastic. Go ahead and buy some. Now.

NEWS / PRODUCT REVIEW: Duane Reade has GF Cookies

Attention New Yorkers!! I've been noticing over the past few months that Duane Reads (non-New Yorkers: think Rite Aide or CVS) have been remodeling their stores and chic-ing them up. I've also started noticing this line of store brand snacks, called DeLish. It includes all the basic trail mixes, cookies, drinks, etc. But what I was not expecting was a gluten free option.

They're really no different than regular ginger snaps, and they have a great, sharp ginger flavor. A bag costs around $3, so they are a good value also.

Here's an article about how the Canadians helped Duane Reade. Read here.

I wonder what other GF products we can expect from Duane Reade???
