\"Happy<\/a><\/p>\n

I remember when President’s Choice<\/a> came out with the cookie “The Decadent<\/a>” in 1988. In only nine months it became Canada’s best selling cookie. It was a game changer for most people. I was working at a bookstore filled with anarchists and lost souls. We saw the commercial for the cookie and this guy Paul looked at me and said, “You know what scares me? I am starting to believe in them. I am starting to believe that this company is going to start make products I am going to like.”<\/p>\n

He walked away in disgust. I watched the commercial while eating my Costco frozen pizza (not a foodie yet) and thought it was fascinating. A company that cares about what its consumers wanted? Nothing wrong with that.<\/p>\n

Foodie Inspiration<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\"President's<\/a><\/p>\n

This cookie has inspired so many PC products, including many I have reviewed such as their Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwich<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"President's<\/a><\/p>\n

The Decadent Milk Chocolate Chips<\/a><\/p>\n

\"President's<\/a><\/p>\n

Chocolate Chip Mini Bars<\/a><\/p>\n

\"PC<\/a><\/p>\n

Molten Chocolate Chip Cookie<\/a><\/p>\n

Happy Anniversary and some more treats please!<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\"Happy<\/a><\/p>\n

Recently President’s Choice<\/a> sent me one of their commemorative collectable cookie tins.<\/p>\n

\"Happy<\/a><\/p>\n

Inside were TWO bags of The Decadent Chocolate Chip Cookies!<\/p>\n

\"Happy<\/a><\/p>\n

There was also a gift card so I could find another new-to-me Decadent-inspired treat and I found their Molten Chocolate Cakes<\/a>. Four million have been sold and I had not had one before! So I just had to try it.<\/p>\n

\"Happy<\/a><\/p>\n

I brought it over to my Mom’s and took out one of the plastic-wrapped cakes.<\/p>\n

\"Happy<\/a><\/p>\n

You have to take it out of the plastic container and bake it on a baking sheet at 400F for 15-17 minutes. Then let it sit for a couple of minutes. The cake came off my mom’s baking sheet just fine but it really stuck to my sister’s when I made it for her the next day.<\/p>\n

Foodie Results<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\"Happy<\/a> \"Happy<\/a><\/p>\n

The cake was crisp on the outside and super gooey in the middle. This dessert is very rich and if you are a chocolate lover, you will probably love this. If you add some homemade whipped cream and a zip of raspberry sauce across the top, people will probably think you baked this yourself and you will wow them.<\/p>\n

On their own they are quite yummy and comforting but at 21 grams of fat per cake (12 saturated), this is a treat I would have only once in a while. The box says ganache filling but I did not see truffle center in the list of ingredients. I think this is just one of those molten cakes that are not fully cooked in the middle which has a little less appeal for me than other molten cakes that really do have a truffle in the center. It was so wet and moist my sister Jamie could not eat it so this is definitely not for everyone. As a result, I give this product four out of five wooden spoons<\/b>.<\/p>\n

\"Happy<\/a><\/p>\n

I am happy to save congratulations President’s Choice<\/a> for coming up with this foodie game-changer in Canada and living up to your high standards. A cookie that is comprised of 39% chocolate made with fresh creamery butter back then was kind of unheard of. I will admit I am not a huge fan of boxed cookies but you took on that challenge in a way no other store has. Bravo and keep baking!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
