We wish the chocolate chip didnt have walnuts in it.
For moms with a sweet tooth, we swear by Levain Bakerys Signature Cookie Assortment.
The moment we took a bite, we knew these were some of the best cookies wed ever tasted.

Each one looked and tasted as if it was homemade.
Our only (minor) complaint?
The addition of walnuts in the classic chocolate chip cookieif its not broken, dont fix it.
We heated ours at 350F for five minutes, per the brands recommendation, for an extra ooey-gooey consistency.
The cookies arrived in a Levain-branded cardboard box wrapped in a plastic sleeve with a bow.
Nothing glamorous, but it certainly got the job done.
At just over $29 plus shipping, we think this assortment is a real steal.
You may want to add another more exciting cheese to the mix.
We loved the variety and found that everything tasted very fresh and high quality.
The box arrived in a pretty simple design adorned with illustrations and filled with shredded paper.
Although this pick is on the pricier side, we think its quality and variety make it worth it.
You cant customize the flavors, and they take time to thaw.
We loved the mix of fruity and chocolatey flavors, making this collection a true crowd-pleaser.
While you cant customize the pack, honestly, there was nothing we would have added or removed.
We also liked that you’re free to add extra pints to your order.
The dry ice was intact upon arrival, and the ice cream was still solidly frozen.
Some of the items are a bit difficult to share.
Honestly, the box was a gift in itself.
It also comes with some festive extras like birthday candles and a confetti popper.
We found everything to be tasty, especially the cupcake jars (which the brand is known for).
We found the salami and cheese a bit hard to cut and share with friends.
However, we appreciated the mix of sweet, savory, and decorative items.
We also noted how visually appealing each basket was.
Once we sampled everything, we decided whether the price was justified for what we got.
