Hybrid sweets haven’t just gone viral on TikTok, they’ve also been featured in food coverage by outlets like Eater and the Los Angeles Times. Some outlets claim these new treats are an expression of creativity. Others see them as sugar-laden abominations.
Crookie is a hybrid sweet formed by combining a croissant and a cookie –
But a valid argument from this discussion is that mixing two things you like doesn’t necessarily make a third good one. You might lose texture, creaminess and crunchiness. And you might end up having to put up with something that’s sickening.
Furthermore, when the result of combining sweets is poorly amalgamated, there is no third thing. For me, this is the case of the crookie (cookie in the filling and on top of the croissant).
Trending hits, treats inspired by or made with croissant dough are a big cause of controversy. This is because, as in the case of the supreme, which has several layers of compressed dough, it subverts what is most valuable in a croissant: the airy and light texture.
It’s tasty, but it has nothing to do with its “parent”. In other words: it’s worth trying, but don’t forget the original, which can be even cheaper — like the croissant from Fabrique (R$11).
