I was so excited when I found Pizzelle on Amazon and the company 'Little Pepi's' statement 'Proudly baked in the USA for over 55 years' pulled me in so I decided to purchase 8 boxes of Pizzelle from Little Pepi's (a variety of flavors from Anise, Vanilla, Coconut, Chocolate...yes I said Chocolate...not my Italian Mom's flavors but why not give them a try). Why not... because I was extremely disappointed...I couldn't tell the Vanilla from the Coconut, the only one that had flavor (a bit to much) were the Chocolate Pizzelle. I performed my own little tasting test with three friends giving them each 3 Different flavors and no one could tell what flavors they were suppose to be and the sad part was not only no flavor but the consistency were very 'limp' instead of the crispness I expected in a Pizzelle.

I have ordered them through Amazon in the past but prefer to pick up in a store. They are crispy, light, and the aftertaste they leave is amazing. These cookies are one of my guilty pleasures:-) They are a little pricey in my opinion though... thats the only thing I would change. They sell for 5.99 a box, only one size box, the tall one. To me thats a bit much but I pay it because I love...
