What You Should Know

You'd find these in the cookie/snack aisle or tossed into a kid's lunchbox or movie-night stash; they give a nostalgic, indulgent vibe with a classic sandwich-cookie look and sweet creme center. Despite the Back to Nature name, the ingredient list (refined sugars, palm and safflower oils, processed cocoa, brown rice syrup, soy lecithin and ‘natural flavor’) and likely long shelf life point to industrial formulation—expect very uniform crunch, sweet filling, and other hallmarks of ultra-processed snacks.

Common Questions about Double Classic Creme Sandwich Cookies, 8.25 OZ

Well, 'healthy' can be a bit subjective, right? These cookies have 180 calories and 15 grams of sugar per two-cookie serving, which is on the higher side if you're watching your sugar intake. They’re definitely a treat rather than a health food, so think of them as a delightful indulgence rather than a daily staple!
