Precise Disarray
staple for adding to healthy protein/fat “desserts” (ie cottage cheese cheese cake cups)
In short: crispy, light, fresh. Well packaged. Pleasant flavor. No weird taste (to me). I could use more spice, but it works for my needs (crumbling over keto cheesecake). 3 cookies to a packet. I already have another order going in.————————————I accidentally found myself engaging in keto based diet. I say accidentally because at first I was just increasing healthy foods and reducing less healthy foods. But I wasnt noticing changes in bloodwork. I then decided to reduce refined carbs a little, then a lot, and now I am –without much effort–, consuming maybe 40 net carbs per day. Way easier onceI began to boost protein, fat, and fiber. The majority of my usual carbs slipped away because I just didnt have appetite for it. Food noise diminished. Big changes in my body followed quickly. Cool! Love reinforcement like that.So while I dont have a sweet tooth since this change, I am keen on a little creative protein and fat use. I saw someone make a parfait/icecream/cheesecake of the sort using blended up cottage cheese (blend until smooth), then they added a little (like, just 1-2 strawberries), a smidge of sweetener (I used a little monk fruit), and then topped with 1.5 of these cookies. Each pack contains 3, so just half a pack. Then placed in fridge or freezer for a few minutes to firm up. It produced a cheesecake like vibe. I sometimes add a little strawberry extract to boost the strawberry flavor. Maybe they did too. Whatever, it was delightful. And was easy way to boost my fiber, protein, and fat.Anyway, I looked up this product right away. Read up on it, and proceeded to buy a pack.I have had “keto” products in the past, and overall I didnt care for them. They seem to taste best when actually on a keto diet (or something approximate to) as I swear tastebuds change. But when not eating like that, it tastes weird. Well, I tried these about 2 weeks into the change over, and I find them fantastic. I wouldnt mind a little more “spice”, but I think they have a neat flavor. I would eat these whether I was dieting or not. I really just use them to add a little texture and flavor to the cottage cheese “dessert”. I dont eat it every day, so a pack of these will last me a long time. I normally use half a pack, but even a full pack doesnt add much.I really didnt want to get into desserts, no matter how low carb, but some of the stuff I see now (compared to years ago) looks and sounds so good. This brand has A LOT of options, and the prices arent too shabby (not that I rate on price). I may get some of their marshmallows and try it out using a pack of these cookies to make a sort of “smore:.——————————————-OK, so does it raise blood sugar? I dont know. I am looking to get a continuous glucose monitor. I do have a regular monitor but I have been remiss in using it. Perhaps I will update if I ever think to test before and after eating this.As I learn more about “sugars” and hidden sugars and other ingredients that could spike insulin levels (I am prediabetic, and it is with this that changes were happening), I learned that everyone is different. So monitoring is good. But something may raise it for one person, but not at all for another. Another thing is how often someone eats and what all they are eating at the time. I prefer to “wrap” my foods in protein and fat when and where possible. I doubt I would eat this plain, as a snack. Instead it is part of a larger meal, at the end. I eat 2x a day, no snacking. Every single time anything goes in the mouth, the body activates insulin. So I keep that in mindOne thing to generally avoid is maltodextrin, especially corn fiber based. Tapioca based isnt as “bad”. SO I looked at this and saw “soluble corn fiber dextrin”, and wondered if that was going to be an issue. I asked the web for the difference between this and maltodextrin, and I was pleased to see that,”Soluble corn fiber (resistant dextrin) is a non-digestible, prebiotic fiber that has a low impact on blood sugar levels, unlike maltodextrin, a highly processed starch that acts like sugar in the body. The primary difference is digestibility: resistant dextrin is designed to bypass digestion and provide fiber benefits, while maltodextrin is broken down into glucose, providing quick energy but raising blood sugar. Resistant dextrin also has fewer calories and helps regulate blood sugar and improve gut health, making it suitable for low-carb diets, whereas maltodextrin is higher in calories and can cause blood sugar spikes”. Lots more details, so if you want to know more use this search:”soluble corn fiber resistant dextrin vs maltodextrin”

Nice slip covers but need to be straightened often.
Delicious!
Delicious, crispy cookies with just the right amount of sweetness and a hint of spice. They are great with a cup of tea or coffee. Very nice and ok for diabetics or a low carb diet. They did come cracked, but not overly so and I don’t find that to be a problem since I break them up anyway. The price is a bit high, but this is normal for a low carb item and I think they are worth it.

Great taste
Have ordered twice, and they never arrive intact. Each cookie is broken into 2 or 3 pieces. But thats fine, they taste great and are very crispy and light. I’ve had to go Keto due to health issues and 3 months in I am looking for foods I miss. These are a really good low carb sweet. I’ve bought 6 varieties of cookies from ChocZero and they have all been really good. Quite expensive, but oh well.

Good Taste With A Caveat
As a child, I absolutely loved Voortman’s windmill cookies. I loved the shape and the taste and they were great to dunk in a cold glass of milk. Then I was diagnosed with a wheat intiolerance. Bye bye windmills. Then I went low carb. I normally don’t est deserts, but I saw these and thought I’d give them a try. It has beeen 40 plus years since I’ve had windmill cookies, so whether or not the taste is similar, I can’t say. These are pleasantly spiced, not too much and not too little. They come wrapped in packets of four, which I greatly appreciated; ,it’s a nice feature. On the downside they are dry, so some of them arrive broken. That would annoy me if I were gifting them to someone, but since they are for me, I am okay with it. I doubt I would dunk these in anything because they would probably disintegrate. As a small snack they are fine and I do like them. I might sub them for almond flour in a faux graham cracker crust, or at least part of the crust. Dryness aside, these are good if you don’t mind a dry texture. I would buy them again. This is a good brand that produces a lot of good low carb products. This is the second box I’ve bought since early November. The other cookie eater swears he didn’t touch them, but the box disappeared! I ordered a second box to see how good that they were and I opened them before they disappeared. I would probably give it four and a half stars. There were no complaints and no admission of guilt. I’m pretty sure there are no ghosts that eat cookies, but the man of the house, I regard with suspicion.

Love these! Only downside is how often they come broken
These are great for snacking. They’re relatively high in fiber and taste great. I eat a pack a day pretty much (not sure if that’s healthy though). The only downside I have with these is more often than not, they come broken. Seems they might need a little tougher packaging to survive being thrown around by delivery

Fantastic taste without the high carbs ! YAY!
WOW !! Totally impressed with these great tasting cookies !! They remind me of graham crackers , but they have a great crunch, freshness and great taste ! I need to watch my carbs because I’m diabetic, but these are a great taste with a lower carb and salt count compared to SO many other brands! Plus, I love Choc Zeros chocolate with peppermint squares, and I make sure I never run out ! These great crackers will be a constant re order, plus I’ve already placed a 2nd order for these a few minutes ago !! Fantastic taste ! Thank you Choc Zero for making these great products for carb conscious people !

Disappointing packaging
The cookies are crisp and very flavorful. However, the packaging is subpar. Every packet of cookies was broken. To pay such a premium price for a specialty product and arrive crumbled is so disappointing.

Deliciously Crunchy and Guilt-Free!
I was pleasantly surprised by how good the ChocZero Speculoos Cookies are! These low-sugar, keto-friendly treats deliver a satisfying crunch and a warm, spiced flavor that’s reminiscent of traditional speculoos cookies—without the sugar overload. The texture is spot on, and they pair perfectly with a cup of coffee. It’s rare to find a keto cookie that doesn’t taste overly processed or artificial, but ChocZero really nailed it here. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a tasty, low-carb snack that doesn’t compromise on flavor or texture.
