I originally purchased 3 different varieties of Gertrude Hawks treats for my Snack Hoarders Episodes and this was my least favorite of the 3,  However it was still delicious. They had more of a chocolate feel and less wonderful tastes were noticeable. There was a hint of coconut and all in all i give them 4 out of 5 stars in terms of overall taste.  I also mentioned one of my ALL TIME favorite snacks…..Bluberries.  When you combine the 2 of these snacks together..something very special happens.  Watch & Enjoy.

Be very careful with any of these...very fattening.

Hello again my Snack friends!  As you will quickly realize I am a BIG fan of Swiss chocolate.  They are responsible for making some of the best chocolate that I have ever tasted.  They just know what they are doing when it comes to delicious desserts and have a earned a special spot in my Snack Hoarders adventures. Please take note of the nutritional facts and try not to eat all the cookies in one sitting.  I would also strongly suggest adding a healthy diet and exercise in combination with your Snacking Endeavors.  Enjoy!
