Like caramelly crack! Only wildly cheap, quite legal and readily available...

The hidden gem at the generic end of the Kroger cookie aisle - Kroger Value Caramel Striped Shortbread Cookies - simply rocks!

I've been wanting to write about these budget-friendly faves for some time [shame on you Ms. Glynn]. Originally a better value at $1.01 - now for only $1.21 you get nearly a pound of these addictive treats!

While the ingredient list may not be up to some grocers' standards - there's nothing in here from Dow or Exxon. In fact, save for an extraordinary amount of food colorings, the ingredients are pretty straightforward - unlike the flavor.

These cheap cookies are complex! At first they may seem a little cloying. Then the lacy rounds actually give way to a slightly salty finish. It's a nice surprise.

You know...when the going gets tough {like it really is right now}, the tough should get Kroger Value Caramel Striped Shortbreads.

Hey! We don't have Kroger up here in Chicago and now I have a caramelly craving. Uncle Fun doesn't carry them... will Kroger ship?

Well...sweet maiden in distress...

As it turns out Kroger owns Food4Less. There's a Food4Less store at North Avenue & Cicero. If you're out that way - see if they stock the aforementioned affordable addiction...
