Cosmic Brownie
Fun fact: Little Debbie is half Klingon Recommended TOE: Bored on Mir Spacestation “Consider a glass of milk a necessity here.”
Today is the day I realized I never want to be an astronaut. Or at least certainly if this is all the cuisine space travel has in store for us. I suppose it depends on how important snacking is to you, but Snack You Silly is now officially requesting that all its readers send NASA an email telling them to stop wasting your tax money.
Upon first contact between your teeth and a Cosmic Brownie, it may seem velvety-smooth. The thing even looks appetizing at first, in a blindingly-glistening kind of way. Don’t be deceived though, it’s nothing but a chewy, sticky mess. Bites too big are a challenge to work through, and will leave your mouth a mess until the next time you brush your teeth. Consider a glass of milk a necessity here.
The “candy toppers” I guess are what make it a brownie worthy of the ‘Cosmic’, because other than them it is your average brownie in every way. They’re so small that they contribute nothing to the flavor of the snack, but the small amount of crunchiness is a welcome spin on its texture.
I bought two of these things, because they’re only thirty-five cents, and I figured if I was going to be reviewing the snack I should get it right. The first one I had shortly after dinner, and it was far from a fitting dessert. Even though it was small, it was so dense that I couldn’t even finish it. The second one, though, I had after hardly eating anything all day, and it wasn’t horrible. I managed to choke down the whole thing, at least. So the best compliment I can offer Little Debskies here is that if you’re starving, Cosmic Brownies are edible.

Omigods, I love these things! I grew up out in America’s armpit, and these things are haute cuisine where I’m from. For 35 cents, cosmic brownies are Gods gift to 14 year olds!

oddly enough i stumbled onto this while eating a cosmic brownie, however here i buy them in a box of 6 for $1.99… they are awesome, albeit a bit sickening if you eat more than one in an hour..
p.s. you might like them more if you chill them in the fridge for a little bit before you eat them.. at least thats what i do and i think they’re much better that way.

Great munchies food. really fudgy, though. i was high with my friends and we bought a bunch of stuff like this and my friend goes “hand me something chocolate” and i said “like these brownies” and he said “no, too fudgy- hand me those fudge rolls right next to them”
true story.

It is very true that you need milk to eat one of these. I ♥ Cosmic Brownies! (savetheinternet.com)

I can eat my way through one of those boxes of 6 in a day, if I’m bored/there is nothing else in the house.

Cosmic Brownies are incredible! Milk is definitely a plus with any brownie!

i may not have concluded this had been splendid one or two years in the past then again it is interesting exactly how years adjusts the manner in which you respond to completely different creative concepts, many thanks for the piece of writing it really is relaxing to browse through something sensible once in a while instead of the traditional garbage mascarading as a blog on the internet, i’m going to enjoy a few rounds of zynga poker, take care
