All in all they didn&#8217;t much rock anybody&#8217;s world but they were serviceable as cookies.  The base cookie is vaguely reminiscent of short bread but less sweet and less buttery.  It also tastes very wheaty, like a wheat based graham cracker short bread cookie (of doom).  They reminded me of Carr&#8217;s wheat crackers, which was strange to find topped with chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>The chocolate is your pretty standard chocolate coating.  It is soft but a tad stretchy, more like frosting or taffy rather than candy chocolate.  Still, the chocolate topping is pretty tasty even if it doesn&#8217;t wow the pants off of you.  It gets the chocolate job done.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the rather meh-ness of the cookies as a whole we all thought they might be very tasty with coffee or hot chocolate.  The cookie base feels like it might make an excellent dunking cookie.  We didn&#8217;t have hot anything to eat with the cookies, unfortunately, but it&#8217;s worth a try if you happen to have any hot tasty drink that would like a cookie companion.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/?page_id=2\">Rating<\/a> of <b>3.5 Wasabi Peas<\/b> out of a possible 5.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11,28,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-35-peas","category-cookie","category-sweet"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=265"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/quirkspace.com\/jsfr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
