An Ovation For Newest Newman-O’s

A marriage of peanut butter and chocolate

I tore into a bag of the new Newman-O’s Peanut Butter Creme Filled Chocolate Cookies, and curiously took a bite. As I contemplated whether I liked the new cookie sandwiches, my hand started reaching for another. And then another.

That answered that.

Basically, I had to close up the bag and move it to another room so that I wouldn’t end up inhaling the entire package. The deep cocoa-tasting, crisp chocolate cookies encase a creamy, subtly salty peanut butter filling. I especially like how the cookies are not that sweet.

The cookies have no cholesterol or trans-fatty acids because of the use of organic palm oil, which is lower in saturated fat than butter and is not hydrogenated.

A 16-ounce package is $4.99. The cookies are available at Whole Foods and other grocery stores.

Newman’s Own Organics (founded by the late, great actor-director Paul Newman and his daughter Nell Newman of Santa Cruz) gives away all royalties after taxes to educational and charitable organizations. Since 1982, more than $200 million has been donated.

Paul Newman may be sadly gone. But his legacy in films, food, and good deeds thankfully lives on.

  • oh no, you did not just tell me about some new peanut butter, chocolate goodie on the market! Sigh, my waistline is forever doomed. First cupcakes, now these? Did I mention my waistline needs a break? 🙂

  • My waistline was doomed years ago! Hah. But the cookies are pretty awesome, I must say.

  • I’m not a big fan of peanut butter, at least in cookies, however, your description makes me want to give them a try. (BTW, just NOW finished ate 4 of Newman’s Chocolate O cookies LOL).

  • I haven’t noticed these in Austin, but you can bet I will start looking for them. Yum!
