Product: Liz Lovely Gluten-Free Lovely Oh’s – $8.49
OMG.
No…really.
According to the Liz Lovely Web site, Gluten-Free Lovely Oh’s were the most requested treat by customers. And really…no company ignores the many requests of their consumers. Such was the case for Liz Lovely when it came to these indulgent, amazing, decadent, rich, delicious, addicting chocolate covered sandwich cookies.
In case you didn’t get my point…these are CRAZY GOOD!
So, what exactly is a Lovely Oh? Well, it’s simple…really. It’s a gluten-free and vegan Oreo-style cookie that has been liberally coated in 100% dairy-free dark chocolate. Nothing fake. No added waxes, oils or glazes. Just a sandwich cookie…and a layer of luscious dark chocolate. This…good friends…is the things gluten-free chocoholic dreams are made out of.
Growing up, every now and again, my parents would buy Chocolate Covered Oreos (or what are now Oreo Fudge Cremes) for us to have as dessert. These were a special treat. But when I go and compare the nutritional information of the Oreo variety to those of Liz Lovely…here’s what I discover. Not only do the Lovely Oh’s have fewer calories, but they also clock in with less sugar and more protein. Oreos contain a bunch of ingredients that no one could ever begin to pronounce correctly. The Lovely Oh’s have recognizable (and pronounceable) ingredients on their packaging. No guess work. I don’t have to sit and wonder exactly what that word is and what it might possibly be. Taking the guess work out of what I’m eating always makes me happy.
One of these cookies was me dessert tonight. And oh…my God! These are dangerous. Dangerous as in I could probably sit down with the container and eat all 8 of the cookies inside if I wasn’t careful. Yeah. Amazing. Rich. The chocolate coating melts in your mouth and gives way to the crunchy cookie that is formed around that creamy center. Yeah…it was heaven in each bite for sure.
I didn’t even question the price tag when these were spotted at the natural food store. I just reacted. They were at the register in the blink of an eye. Hey…I’m a cookie monster and these needed to be tried. Even my non-gluten-free roomie called these one of the best cookies she has ever tasted. Coming from someone who can eat any cookie out there, that says a lot.
If you can’t find Liz Lovely cookies in your area, then rest assured, you can order them online from the company. And they are totally worth the splurge…trust me. And these Gluten-Free Lovely Oh’s just edged up towards the top of my Cookie Hall of Fame. Here’s hoping they last the rest of the week…
