It was love.
Messy hands. Chocolate oozing out of the cookie cups on our hands. Uncontrollable. On our hands, faces. We looked like the cookie monster, except with chocolate on our face rather than cookie crumbs.
Okay, hold up.
Rewind: We first set eyes on these these cupcakes on Facebook page Karamel and boy did they look divine! The pictures made us all at work swoon and we couldn't stop drooling at the sight of them (insert heart eye emoji).
Here's a taste of what we saw on social media:
We had planned to ordered this deliciousness for a while but the sheer price of these chocolate cookie monsters made us second guess our desires. Rs. 900 for a box of six? That's too darn much. Sigh.
But when we saw that there was a 14% discount on the cupcakes till 14th August, we pounced at the chance and lo and behold, come Thursday, we scanned their Facebook page and settled for three dark chocolate cookie cups, two Nutella cookie cups and one white chocolate cookie cup.
It's worth mentioning that Karamel's menu is quite enticing, from your regular cookie cups to red velvet cookie cakes, they have it all, and we felt gluttonous just scrolling through it.
When we called to place the order, they were out of dark chocolate and white chocolate (at 12.30pm, mind you), we were gutted. But then we settled for five Nutella cookie cups and one triple chocolate cookie cup. Our total for a box of six with the discount came to Rs. 774, with delivery charges (Rs. 190) we ended up paying Rs. 964. Errrm. Yeah.
The order, as stated on the website, came after two hours, actually 15 minutes before time (2.30pm), which was awesome because we could hardly wait.
The box was pretty sturdy, and when we opened it, the cookie cups were placed neatly inside, ready to be devoured. Before we could dig in, a small inscription inside the box read, "Heat up to 10 seconds before eating." We heartily obliged. The cookie cups were already warm to the touch, which was perfect because nothing tastes better than warm chocolate in a warm cookie.
Our only qualm about the cookie cups was that they were oily.
When we picked them up and tore away the wrapper, Nutella graciously oozed out. Even when we broke it in half, it slightly started to come apart but there was a lot of chocolate in there, A LOT.
We were at it for 20 minutes. The first couple of bites were good, the chocolate and cookie came together well. But after a few more bites and never-ending Nutella we were left wondering, 'How does one finish these?' and thanked our stars we hadn't ordered the box of nine out of greed.
Who knew eating a cookie cup would be hard work?
