Enjoy Life Crunchy Cookies Review!!

I recently posted a review for Enjoy Life's new Chocolate Chunks and Chocolate Granola. They then sent us 4 boxes of Enjoy Life's Crunchy Cookies! which I couldn't WAIT to try! We dug right into them when they arrived and WOAH are they good!  They are available in 4 delicious flavors, Double Chocolate, Sugar Crisp, Vanilla Honey Graham, and  Chocolate Chip. 

If you have been following along with my story, then you know that I struggled with finding yummy foods during my 1 year of dairy and soy free breastfeeding. I know this is a dairy free blog, but I've kind of been turning towards more general allergen free posts as I realize that a lot of my readers have multiple allergies and intolerance's.  Enjoy Life's line of treats are free of the top 8 allergens, gluten free, and made on dedicated equipment in a dedicated facility!! 

So back to me... while I was dying for cookies and chocolate, I discovered Enjoy Life, and I have been hooked ever since! I love their soft baked snicker doodles like it's nobodies business. My little man loves the soft baked chocolate chip cookies. So of course we are excited to talk about the Crunchy Cookies that Enjoy Life now offers, and were double excited to get to try them out. 

When they arrived in the mail, we ate them fast as a family. I especially loved the Vanilla Honey Graham flavor, and my little man gobbled up the chocolate chip ones saying "Those my favorites." The double chocolate is, well, anything that is chocolate in chocolate can't go wrong in my book! The sugar crisp ones were a real treat. They went very well with my morning coffee. 

They are nice and thin, crispy but not hard as a rock, have a tendency to be a little melt-a-way once they hit your tongue, and perfectly sweet is an understatement. They lack for nothing.   

The chocolate chip flavors are just chock full of Enjoy Life's mini chips, which just happen to be my #1 favorite chocolate chips in the whole world. They are smooth and creamy and super sweet. There is none of that gritty chocolate chip feeling to them that other brand's large chips have. 

Knowing that I can always grab a box of anything from the Enjoy Life line and not have to worry about reading the ingredients, is really a big help in my hectic life. We are lucky in this day and age that a company like Enjoy Life exists. I appreciate everything that they do, and hope they never stop creating new and delicious foods for us to all enjoy! If you haven't tried them out yet, you should aim to make it a top priority!! Find a store near you here. I get my Enjoy Life treats at Whole Foods, and some of their items are even carried at my local grocery store, which is great for us!

Amanda's Own Confections- A truly delicious milk free treat!

Have you ever had a piece of chocolate that was so rich, creamy, smooth, and delicious that you finished it and got really sad that it was all gone? 

Have you ever had a chocolate so good that when you were going to get some more of it, you got excited in anticipation? 

Have you ever had chocolate in your house that got fought over and vanished when you weren't looking? 

I have.  I have because I have had Amanda's Own Confections -  Not only are they all completely dairy-free, but they are also all tree nut-free, peanut-free, egg-free and gluten-free!

These aren't just chocolate bars! They offer loads of fun seasonal shapes, packaging, and loads of options!

We got to sample the gold bunny box, and a sitting bunny. We sampled them so fast, that I didn't get to even get one photo of them! They are just the right amount of sweet, and so reach and creamy. PLUS they are solid chocolate! None of that hollow bunny scam that you remember from childhood! 

The GREAT NEWS... They are shipping Easter treats all the way until March 27th! It't not too early to order for your Easter baskets and eggs!

Look at how incredibly adorable the foil wrapped bunnies are... 

 

Not only do they offer loose, boxed, and foil wrapped chocolates, but they also have a wide selection of lollipop chocolates which includes ballerinas, trucks, dinosaurs, sports, and more!

There's even non-chocolate selections! Plus, if you live in a warmer area, or are ordering in the summer you can have your chocolates shipped in a special container so that they won't melt! I swear, they've thought of everything!

We got a chance to sample devour a bag of sour gummy worms, and they were AMAZING! They were sweet and sour, and chewy, and just plain awesome! So awesome in fact, that I was talking about this post, trying a few more samples of this amazing chocolate, and my teen said "Hey, are you getting more of those gummy worms, Mom?" and he never asks for candy, ever!

Enjoy Life - It's so good!

I was recently asked to sample and review some of Enjoy Life's new products. Of course I said YES!! Yes I will! I'm so happy that I did!

If you are unfamiliar with Enjoy Life, it's a line of allergen free specialty treats. They make everything from candy bars, to cookies. You can safely enjoy their foods without fear of gluten, dairy, soy, etc. Discovering Enjoy Life foods has been a life saver for my little guy who can now eat chocolate chip cookies safely at home when I use Enjoy Life baking chocolate. 

So Enjoy Life sent me their new Double Chocolate Crunch Granola, and Semi-Sweet Chocolate Mega Chunks. Me and my guys dug right in. The granola is just divine. The right amount of crunch, mixed with the smooth and creamy Enjoy Life chocolate chips makes this granola AH-MAZING!! Like every Enjoy Life product I've personally tried, this one does NOT disappoint, not at all.

When I first discovered Enjoy Life's semi-sweet mini chips, I was just in disbelief at the creamy deliciousness of those little mini chips. They fill cookies and other treats with such a huge punch of chocolate. Now that they have come out with Mega Chunks, we are doing the happy dance over here at Milk Free Kids! The Mega Chunks are all that I would imagine them to be and a whole lot more. Not only are they still rich and creamy like the mini chips, but they also have a unique shape that really compliments baked goods.

We made a batch of Cheeky Kitchen's coconut oil double chocolate cookies and this time I was able to feed them to my little man with the addition of Enjoy Life's Mega Chunks.

Enjoy Life products are available at health food stores and Whole Foods Market. They don't stop at granola and baking chocolate either. They offer chocolate bars, chewy bars, cereals, crunchy cookies, and soft baked cookies!  Their ENTIRE line is allergen free, and delectable! Say "good bye" boring, flavorless safe foods, and say hello to "Enjoy Life"!!


Stop on by the Enjoy Life Facebook page and like them. We're getting ready to giveaway BOTH of these products in our 500 fan giant giveaway over on Milk Free Kids facebook page. So liking both pages now will help you get one step closer to a win!
