REVIEW:

When I tell people who are unfamiliar with an allergy conscious diet of the foods I am unable to eat, they often ask, “Well, what can you eat?” When I answer them with an enthusiastic, “A lot!” They look at me with pity in their eyes while their hands clutch their beers and pizzas. I don’t feel like I am really missing out on anything and Enjoy Life seems to understand that a great tasting food can be made without ingredients commonly consumed in a western diet. Made without the eight most common allergens; wheat, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, egg, soy, fish, and shellfish, Enjoy Life produces a product that can be enjoyed by just about everyone without sacrificing taste or texture. Focusing on snack foods, Enjoy life provides a variety of cookies, snack bars, trail mixes, chocolate bars, and so on.

Enjoy Life’s Soft Baked Double Chocolate Brownie was very chocolaty, soft and delicious. It didn’t taste exactly like a gluten-y brownie, rather, it tasted somewhere between a chocolate truffle and chocolate bread pudding. It was soft, but not chewy, full of chocolate chips and chocolate flavor. These half dollar-sized cookies did not leave a strange aftertaste or the chalky feeling sometimes associated with gluten-free baking after snacking.  They just were simply very tasty.

Not only were these brownie cookies made without the most common allergens, they were also created with only unrefined sweeteners like dates, fruit juice, and brown sugar. These cookies were also made of all natural ingredients and contain no trans fats all without sacrificing and ounce of richness. While slightly different that traditional brownies, there is no reason that anyone with or without an allergy would not be able to enjoy these cookies.

Taste: These cookies were chocolaty, rich and very delicious. I quickly ate about four of them as soon as I opened the package. They were soft, not too rich, but just decedent enough to satisfy my chocolate addiction.

Labeling:  The front of the package proclaimed these cookies to not only be all natural, nut and gluten free, but chocolaty and rich. There was a lot of information about what is left out of Enjoy Life’s products in addition to the standard, necessary information, like ingredients list and nutrition facts.

Packaging:   Six servings of cookies were stored in a plastic tray inside of a plastic bag which was then put inside a cardboard box.
