I initially walked into the South Park bakery and cafe Little Jaye to snag considered one of their well-known marshmallow cereal treats. Sadly, it was too late within the day, and the sticky confections had been bought out. However then I noticed it—gazing me by the glass case with its floor bursting with polka dots of popcorn.
The Cracker Jack cookie is a huge, chewy, buttery cookie with swirls of butterscotch dancing round complete items of caramel popcorn. Once I chosen the cookie, my first thought was: Will there be peanuts? You understand what I’m speaking about. Each field of Cracker Jacks contains 1-3 candied peanuts. There are all the time sufficient to fill your palet with salty, nutty, sugary delight whereas leaving you wanting extra. I’ve all the time thought of them to be the actual prize inside.
So far as I might inform, my cookie didn’t have a peanut in it. However, upon additional investigation, it seems that the cookie usually does embrace nuts. In truth, the bakers at Little Jaye appear to be way more beneficiant with the peanuts than the Cracker Jack firm (I see AT LEAST 4 peanuts on this picture). It’s completely doable that I consumed my Cracker Jack cookie so shortly and ravenously that I simply didn’t discover a nut.
Talking of prizes, this cookie doesn’t have a bit toy inside as a result of, clearly, that might be a choking hazard. Nevertheless, the wealthy, completely salted brown butter base is healthier than any paper “toy” they’re placing within the containers lately.
