Maple syrup has an aroma that distinguishes it from other syrups and these Mr Maple Maple Flavoured Creme Cookies made with pure maple syrup from Quebec captured it perfectly.

Each box contained 24 cookies. The cookies are shaped like a maple leaf with veining detail.

Each cookie consisted of two golden brown biscuits sandwiching a maple flavoured cream that’s yellow in colour with tiny brown flecks throughout.

The unmistakable richness of maple syrup that escapes on opening the packaging leaves one in no doubt that these cookies use pure maple syrup. The maple flavour was stronger in the smell than in the taste, but that’s because the aroma is truly palpable.

There’s an audible crunch on biting down on these cookies before reaching the soft cream that adds moisture to the biscuits as it melts to a smooth consistency. The filling in each cookie is more generous on the packaging than in reality, but the amount sandwiching each cookie is adequate. Indeed, the sweetness of the cookies is well balanced with the biscuits themselves unsweetened and relying solely on the maple syrup cream. For a sweet cookie, it’s remarkably easy to eat quite a few in each sitting
