    TAKE 5

    Haven't yet graduated beyond ripping open the packet of cake mix? Then this is for you! 5 packet mixes/pre made dough's ranging from gourmet to off the supermarket shelf were blind taste tested and reviewed by a panel of eight. This week it's Packet Mix & pre made dough Chocolate Chip Cookies being tested.

    1. Aunty Kath's       $4.29      Homebake Chocolate chip (Gluten Free)

    2. Betty Crocker      $5.33      Milk Chocolate Chunk Cookies

    After a cookie taste mix up, Sarah & David were disqualified this round, but thank you for participating! 

    Jodie wasn't available, so Daniel took her spot to become the "Mother & Son" team with his Mum Debbie.

    Claire makes her first appearance on the panel. Thank you all.  

    Unmarked boxes of baked cookies were sent to the taste testers along with review forms in order to rate each cookie from one to five, comment on taste and texture plus an overall opinion.  After collating the information the results were as follows...
