Bo better watch out because i’ve found a new love. If my new boyfriend, Mr. Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat from O’Cookies, needed a classified ad it would read something like this:
“Chewy, all natural, tender, health nut guy craving a healthy gal with a cool glass of milk.”
I am so excited to tell you all about O’Cookies because I really can’t say enough wonderful things about their products! Started by two sisters, Erin and Meghann O’Leary, the company prides itself in the fact that all cookies produced are completely organic and low in fat and cholesterol. In addition, they have no trans fats or hydrogenated oils.
On their website they describe the product as such:
“Only the highest-quality chocolates and naturally dried fruits are used. Our cookies are made with a whole wheat flour blend for optimal health, unrefined sugars and egg whites only. Very little butter is used along with fruits that keep O’Cookies down in the fat and cholesterol content and only contain “good for you” calories to get you through your day and satisfy that hungering for something sweet.”
How can you not love a company who is owned by two sisters who seem like they’d be the perfect coffee or workout pals?
Bo and I were very hesitant when the package arrived as we weren’t sure whether they would still taste fresh and actually answer our sweet cravings. Bo normally steers clear of healthy alternatives to sweets and instead has sweets only once in a while whearas I am always open to alternatives and options. Our package included two flavors, White Choclate Cranberry Oat and Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat. Both flavors were tiny (4 of them equal the size of a normal NYC bakery cookie) but absolutely delicious.
My favorite is the Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Oat as it tastes like a healthy Reese’s cookie but includes only 11 ingredients all of which are easily pronounced and organic! I loved that the first three ingredients were whole wheat flour, oats, and dired prunes! The texture and flavor depth is also something that you don’t encounter an your average cookie. I unfortunately ate four little cookies a bit too quickly which could possibly be their only downside.
The company features five different flavors on their website and I think they would make the perfect birthday, thank you, or hostess gift at only $15 per dozen. In addition, the box is adorably wrapped and stuffed!
Hop on over to their site and order some for yourself.
Wow, that product sounds so intriguing! I’m definitely interested 😀

So fun that you got to meet and interview her.
I started following you on Twitter yesterday too – yeah!
I don’t keep up with it all the time – it’s tough enough to keep up with blogging but it’s still fun nonetheless.
I don’t know if you still have any samples of these. But I eat garlic in everything! being a PICU Nurse and being in people’s faces…I always worry about my breath. These would be great for work!!! I would love to try them!
I could definately write up a review too!
