Personally I'm a fan of Keebler cookies. I find them to be reasonably priced, well portioned, and hey, many of them are coated in chocolate. Today I'm giving the new S'mores sandwich cookies a shot.
I was a bit disappointed in these for a couple reasons. First, there's the marshmallow cream. There isn't enough of it. When you make a s'more you toast large or jumbo marshmallows, these have about the equivalent of two mini marshmallows worth of cream. This throws off the ratios. The problem is then compounded by the fact that Keebler's cookie coating chocolate is very sweet when compared to a Hershey Bar, and this results in the marshmallow flavor getting lost entirely. Also note this contains marshmallow flavored cream and not actual marshmallow.
Second is the portion. This package was purchased in the regular Keebler cookie section, on sale, for $2.50. There are eight cookies inside. EIGHT! I expect that kind of thing from Pepperidge Farm, but not from Keebler. Especially when you consider that these are just Deluxe Grahams with some cream in the middle, and there's a lot of Deluxe Grahams in a package by comparison. This bothers me even more because the package is deceptively large. It measures about 10" x 6" and is taken up mostly by a segmented plastic tray that houses each cookie individually.
My verdict is that while these don't taste bad, if you want a s'more sandwich cookie you'd have a better experience just buying a package of Deluxe Grahams and a bag of marshmallows. Or better yet, just buy graham crackers, marshmallows, and a Hershey bar.
