Sparx Cookies

After a rather lengthy debate regarding Sparx Cookies, I find myself writing yet another review of the infamous spicy cookie. Now, if you read the original review you’ll see that the bags of cookies that I taste tested were pretty darn close to their expiration dates, about a month out I believe. As a follow up to the original review, I felt I must comment on the second bag of cookies I had bought at the same time. This review was not well received by some, which I can understand. So, after receiving a FRESH batch of samples from Richard, the creator of the Sparx Cookies, I set off to do another review and this time gathered up 10 of my closest Chile heads to taste test on. Coincidently we also reviewed Monty’s Salsas (that review to come soon).

Each taster rated each flavor of cookie on five areas:

  • Smell – How does the cookie smell? Good, Bad, Ugly?
  • Texture – How does the cookie feel? Soft or Hard? Chewy or Crunchy?
  • Taste – How does the cookie taste?
  • Heat – Does the cookie have heat? If so, how much?
  • Cookie Appeal – If you were looking for a snack, would this cookie be on your list of items to eat?

Each of the above factors were rated on a scale of 1-20 and each tasters scores were tabulated to come up with the final percentage scores you see below.

Sparx Score Table

Overall the clear winner is the Cayenne Toffee Pecan, in Smell, Texture and Taste and Tying with the Chipotle Double Fudge in the Cookie Appeal Category.

This batch of Sparx Cookies were infinentaly better then the last ones I had, however, overall the cookies are still lacking for me. They’re good, but a seasoned chile head is going to want more heat and a better flavor blend.

Just a word of thanks to Nick and his crew for providing this review. While we naturally would have hoped for better results, the test was quite thorough, objective, and fair. The data, although from a small sampling, is interesting and informative.
We too, have found that the Cayenne Toffe Pecan is a favorite as it has won the most awards in food competitions. On the other hand, the Chipotle Chocolate Chip is our best seller but perhaps mostly because of people’s fondness for Chocolate Chip cookies in general. We certainly are proud of our line of Sparx Spicy Cookies but are always listening to our consumers to assess possible areas for improvement. We won’t rest until we achieve unequivocal customer satisfaction!
Coming soon, new Sparx Supremes, Sparx Spicy Cookies coated in rich chocolate and and studded with toppings such as toffee, chips, and streusal crumbs. We’ll be sure to send some to you for a taste test once they’re ready to go.
Thanks again for your feedback and candor!
God bless the USA!!!
