Summary

Darnell gets his hands on Trader Joe's Ube Tea Cookies and absolutely loses it. The powdered sugar coating hits first, then that buttery shortbread kicks in with a unique purple ube flavor that's got him calling them "crack cocaine" (in the best way). He's hyped. Sure, they're loaded with added sugar and cost five bucks a box, but Darnell's convinced they're top five boxed cookies, period. He breaks down the nutrition honestly, gives them an A for taste, and throws down real talk about balancing what tastes incredible with what's actually good for you. These cookies are dangerous in the best way possible.
