I am a person who has a little bit of a sweet tooth but not in excess and I am super fond of all deserts with salted caramel in them so when I saw Bad Baker's salted caramel oat biscuits I knew I would have to give them a try. The packaging that the cookies came in is super simple yet aesthetically pleasing, with a simple periwinkle blue and white colour palette and a picture of the cookies inside as well as a cute little illustration of a chef.

The cookies had a lovely sweet caramel scent to them that made my mouth water and after taking a bite of one of the cookies I fell in love with the flavour. The cookies weren't too sweet and they had just the right amount of caramel and they got the saltiness just right. I am not usually a big fan of oaty things because of how it drys your mouth out but I was very pleasantly surprised when they were hardly noticeable. The texture was great, not too hard and not too crumbly just right and I recommend having them with a cup of afternoon tea or other hot beverage of some kind.

The price you pay for the portion you get is incredible because of the amazing quality of Bad Baker's cookies. Overall I will be purchasing these in future and I would definitely recommend these to all my fellow sweet tooths to purchase these cookies as well. I thoroughly enjoyed the Bad Baker's cookies it was a pleasurable purchase.

Had heard a lot of great things about this brand of cookie so have to admit, I was really looking forward to tasting these as they are a little out of the norm for me. I guess I was spoilt in the fact that my Nana made the most incredible cookies and nothing has measured up since. But this was a chance to break away from the 'school lunch' quick treat that I normally buy for the kids.

First impression was the aroma that these gave off when you opened the packet. The scent was enough to tempt the taste buds as I reached in and grabbed the first cookie. WOW...these cookies are actually a decent size. I mean...they look like home made cookies, not some little bite sized thing that leaves you wondering where the rest of it is. This just gets better and better.

The first bite....Mmmm that yummy caramel goodness that just makes you want to quickly scoff down the cookie and reach for the next (I mean who knows when the kids were going to walk in and want one). The texture was great, it wasn't a cookie that crumbled everywhere, nor was it that hard that you can't bite into it easily. It had the crunch but with an almost chewy inner that was absolutely perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed it. However, the aftertaste was a bit much for me. I get that it's salted caramel but the aftertaste was a bit much of the salt, and not so much the caramel and that was about the only thing that spoilt it for me.

Would I buy it again ? Probably not this particular flavour, but the fact that I loved everything else about this cookie, it has me wanting to try the other flavours now.

To be absolutely clear upfront - I am NOT a big fan of Salted Caramel ANYTHING. I have never really acquired the appreciation for that salty-sweet taste. However, I tried a sample of this offering at a food show and found to my surprise that I really quite liked the taste. So... of course I was happy to review this one.

The biscuit itself is firm and holds together well, yet has a soft and chewy texture that has a lot of appeal for me. Hard, crunchy biscuits are a thing of the past for me these days. The chunks of salted caramel chocolate scattered throughout were of a good size and fairly evenly mixed throughout. There were enough of them that pretty much every bite got 1-2 chunks, but any more and it would have been too much for me. Perfect balance.

The only little niggle for me was the sprinkle of Marlborough Sea Salt on top. The salt was quite coarsely ground, and I kept getting little 'spots' of super-salty as I chewed. That's not my thing, but it's a personal preference and not really a negative of the cookie - I still ate the entire pack in one sitting without really noticing until I found myself reaching into an empty tray. For those who appreciate the salty tastes more, this is going to be heaven on a plate and you'll struggle not to inhale the lot yourself. If these sound like your kinda thing, I strongly recommend you buy more than one pack, otherwise no-one else will get a taste!

Overall, I think they ought to carry a warning on the pack - "Extremely more'ish. Do not consume alone." Wink Icon

I enjoy a good salted caramel dish and I have three biscuit lovers in my household, so getting a packet of these seemed like a no-brainer. When our box of goodies arrived, I quickly grabbed one of these to have along with my coffee (which was salted caramel, coincidentally). Trying the biscuit, I did find that I wasn't a huge fan of the texture of it, for me it was the rolled oats (which I would have preferred to have been in smaller, perhaps finer, pieces). I offered one to my mother who found that the texture was too hard for her, though she did enjoy the flavours, she only ate half a biscuit.

Every Saturday a friend of mine and her three kids come over to spend the day, I always pop some snacks out on a table for the six kids. in total, to help themselves to through the day. I decided to pop these out on the table and see what the kids, ranging from 9-21, would think of them and was curious as to if they would be all gone by the days end. They were, indeed, all gone by the time it came to pack all the snacks away and the consensus was that they were delicious. I won't be buying these for my personal snacking moments, but with generous sizing at a really decent price, no doubt I will be buying these for the kids.

As a household of self-confessed salted caramel lovers, it is always exciting to see a new product which uses our favourite flavour. These salted caramel oat cookies from Bad Baker really peaked my interest as I love oat biscuits, and this combined with salted caramel in a cookie sounded like a match made in heaven.

When we first received the pack I was really excited to see that it was very generously sized. I have to admit, I very rarely buy biscuits, but this packet seemed to be very generous in comparison to most others I have seen. The packaging was simple but effective, with very distinctive branding and a slightly quirky edge which was right up our street. I was also really pleased to see that the list of ingredients was pretty similar to something I would bake myself at home.

The cookies themselves are a very generous size. These aren't the standard tiny chocolate chippy size, but rather a more generous single portion. They were the perfect middle ground between soft and hard in texture- not super hard like many other biscuits, but neither were they super soft and unable to hold themselves together. Whilst the oats were not really obvious within the biscuit, the texture they gave was an added bonus, just enough to add a little more bite.

The taste of these biscuits was absolutely wonderful. They have easily been the best salted-caramel anything I have eaten all year. The caramel is the perfect balance of sweet to bitter (as all good caramel's should be) and the extra sprinkling of sea salt gives the extra tasty edge which salted-caramel should be all about. It is obvious the time and attention which has gone into developing this product- nobody can create a product this good by fluke. We managed to demolish the pack in two days when normally a similarly-sized pack would take a week, they are just too good to stop eating.

Overall, a fantastic product. The tag line 'Try one, then try stopping' is no joke- they are that good. I would highly recommend, and these will be making a regular appearance in our supermarket trolly. Give them a try, you will not be disappointed.

Do you know what is something that has always annoyed me? Cookies are always difficult to store unless you have an abundance of airtight containers (and good luck finding the right lid if you do). And yet cookies and biscuits, these extremely common products that have been around for years, have never followed suit with the changes that have occurred to all other types of packaging. There have been zero movements towards resealable packs. And while the stand-up (potato chip-style) bags can be closed up with a bag sealer or bag clip, the usual cookie packaging of the semihard tray in a plastic sleeve is practically impossible to reseal. When you have 12 servings of cookies (coincidentally adds up to 12 cookies) in a pack, you either eat them within 24 hours of opening the pack or have to "Google how to store cookies". Look into resealables. There must be a better way.

What is good about the packaging, however, is how little wasted space there is. The plastic tray is not filled with empty space to make the packet look bigger. The tray is FULL of cookies. Large cookies. And I do like that. It's quite weird seeing a yellow cookie though. The lack of that normal milk or dark chocolate colouring really makes cookies much lighter in appearance. Salted Caramel Chocolate is also quite a unique ingredient to use and feels very much high-end. Combine that with sea salt and you have an incredibly unique cookie; a yellowish cookie made with oats, caramel chocolate, and two sources of salt.

It doesn't necessarily sound like something that would be overly appealing, but salted caramel is all the rage right now, and the combination creates an exhilarating flavour experience. The caramel chocolate does create a soft and smooth sweetness to the cookie, but when you bite into the cookie or breath while you chew, the salt particles unleash a little burst of flavour that contradicts but complements that sweetness so well. Unlike the Ginger variety, whose flavour varies depending on how much ginger you get per bite, this Salted Caramel flavour is largely consistent. The only real variability comes from when the subtle salt kicks in.

A surprisingly tasty cookie and the salt kick really wakes up the taste buds. It makes you yearn for more, even though you know you shouldn't. One cookie per serving! Lord help me, I only have so much willpower.

We opened the cookie packet and were instantly greeted by the most amazing aroma of sweet caramel. Even as an avowed fan of savoury and spicy foods who would normally put sweet foods way down the list, I found my mouth watering at the very thought of eating the contents. And I was not the only one. All six of us were busy standing back, trying to disguise our reactions. It did not help that it was nearly lunchtime and we were all hungry anyway.

Miss Eleven finally took pity on us all and opened one end fully so that she could remove the inner tray. She had been delegated the task of offering the cookies round and making sure nobody took more than a fair share. I got mine first since I had the review to write, but there was plenty to go round anyway. The biscuits are a good size, but the packet is huge! Miss Eleven had already counted them and found that there were two each, so there was no need to break any in half to make sure everyone got the same amount. Just as well as they are quite crumbly once you bite into them.

We were intrigued by the appearance of the cookies. The caramel flavour was not mixed evenly through them; instead, there were good sized chunks of caramel sticking out of the surface, about the same size as you would get in a sultana biscuit. Big enough to allow us all to bite the caramel out and eat it separately. This was amazing; it was just like Russian fudge, decadent and utterly delicious! I realised right then the reason for the slogan "so good that they really are very, very bad" that appears on the packet. Even so, at 118 calories each, they are not too bad for you as you would normally eat not more than a couple. Add to that the fact that the ingredients are all natural and you cannot go too far wrong in serving the biscuits as a healthy snack.

I thought at first that the term "salted caramel" was a misnomer as there was no salty aftertaste, but all of a sudden I bit off a mouthful that was distinctly salty. Clearly the salt. like the caramel, had not blended in fully and had cooked in little clumps. I did not really mind this because there was not that much salt anyway, so it was not overwhelming. I could also taste the oats. At first, I thought there was a nutty flavour to the cookies, but then I realised this was because of the oat content.

I really wanted to dunk one and so did the others. We were afraid, however, that the cookie might disintegrate and end up in a mush at the bottom of the cup. So I tried first. I dunked the biscuit then quickly pulled it out again, thrusting the wet portion into my mouth at top speed before there was any chance for any to fall off. It worked! As long as I was quick and did not leave it in the coffee too long, it held together. Seeing my success, the others all tried it too. Everyone had either tea or coffee except for Miss Seven, who had lemonade, but the process was the same no matter whether the drink was hot or cold. A bonus was that each drink was left with a slight after-taste and the delicious scent of caramel. Every last person insisted that this was a product deserving of full marks.
