Cookies: Glutano Chocolate Cream Filled Wafers

This weekend Rob brought a veritable feast of gluten-free products to try. He must be in a Thanksgiving-kind of mood.

First off on the list were Glutano Chocolate Cream Filled Wafers

The wafers physically resemble your typical stacked cookie. In between 3 layers of a crisp waffle wafer is a tasty chocolate filling. My first reaction was that there was a bit of an after-taste, though as Rob and I ate our way through the package, the chocolaty treats began to grow on my tastebuds. They are less sweet than the wheat version- which I think is a bonus. My mother and sister-in law were also part of the focus group and they agreed the cookies were light, well textured and just like the gluten version. I tend to be a big fan of Glutano products in general- so I wasn't really surprised by my reaction.
