Pepperidge Farm Salted Caramel Chessmen

Breaking news: I've finally left my house. Just in time for these New Cookies! There's also a new pecan flavor (which contains soy protein and "pecan distillate"), but this flavor seems to be safe from both of those evils. Honestly their allergy labelling is not so hot, but, I've been eating their cookies for so long that I'm like "surely it's fine". Plus they taste good. 

Well, I don't know that there was anything wrong with regular ol' chessmen (chesspeople), but these do indeed add an additional level of salty, buttery caramel coating. Both as a top glaze and as little speckles in the cookie itself. It's good, and increases the textural diversity (the caramel speckle parts are extra cronchy), but it's really not too different from the original flavor. I guess I prefer this version, but it's a very close call!

Overall
Cost: 5/10
Taste: 7/10
