We agree with Bumble... It's seldom that we could taste either chocolate or peanut butter.
We wondered in which country they were made, but could find NO country of origin anywhere, other than 'Imported by Christie Brown & Co.' which means they were made in a foreign country, but they're not saying where.
Perhaps that country doesn't have the same quality water we do, which may affect the taste of both the peanut butter or the chocolate.
To explain the taste, think of a soy protein bar with a bit of chocolate added to it. Not milk chocolate, but powdered skim milk chocolate. There IS a difference.
They are soft but they cant replace a homemade cookie. It is better when you heat them just a little bit but they just have a over progressed feel to them.
I recently tried a bag of the new Christie's Ahoy Extra cookies, specifically the Milk Chocolate Peanut Butter flavour. I was expecting great things, typically I like Chips Ahoy cookies and love anything flavoured with chocolate/peanut butter however these are unbelievably disappointing! You would expect that the cookies would actually have a peanut butter flavour, you would even expect that they have a chocolate flavour, but no such luck. If you close your eyes and bite you would be hard pressed to guess that the cookie had either peanut butter or chocolate in it. In fact I brought them into work and had my co-workers do just that; no one guessed there was peanut butter or chocolate in the cookie. Not a good sign. Aside from the complete lack of advertised flavour the new Ahoy extras really had no flavour at all, they were just bland. Considering these cookies are sold as premium flavours in small 182g bags the lack of flavour coupled with the bland, generic 'soft cookie' taste, left a really bad flavour in my mouth. I would avoid these cookies entirely from your shopping list.
