The cookie part of these isn't sweet; tastes just like an animal cracker. The filling tastes just like Nutella, I think it's a great flavor combination. There are 25 packs of a dozen cookies each in the box. Some nutritional info from the label: serving size- 2 cookies, calories-140, trans fat-0, saturated fat- 6g.

OK, OK, so these are not the most nutritious snack, but come on! They're cookies! An occasional indulgence isn't going to hurt anyone.

If you think you'll like the taste combination of animal crackers and Nutella, then buy these. If you are worried about saturated fat, buy some fruit instead.

If you've ever had as Bahlsen Hit cookies (normally a plain cookie with chocolate filling) you'll know these have to be good. A creamy center that can easily be eaten separatly by nibbling off the cookie top and bottom. A dry cookie that isn't too sweet but full of flavor.

Great for a mid-day snack. I always have a roll in my desk draw at work.

Very Very Tasty!

These cookies are very tasty, surprisingly crisp and light, and don't taste at all like comparable inexpensive packaged cookies from the US. They are made in Poland for a German company and taste a lot like many confections from Europe, where crisp wafers and balanced tasting fillings are the norm(rather than the over-sweet cream fillings common here in the US)

Contrary to another review here, the ingredients/nutrients list states that are are 0g of trans-fats in theese cookies. However, there's a LOT of saturated fat. That's a concern because if you're a normal healthy adult, you could easily eat a package of these in one sitting (only 5 ounces!)...in which case you would have had about your week's worth of saturated fat in one sitting! Since our country has a massive (literally) weight problem, that's something to be aware of.

Hard to beat the taste for the price, but eat with care.

I got in on the cookies a few weeks ago from Bahlsen that had the chocolate filling. They are wonderful cookies and at less than $1 a pack you cannot go wrong. These things were made for a quick coffee or milk dunk. Don't let them soak as the light cookie will fall apart, but a quick dip sets them up just fine! They come well packed and wrapped. Recommended highly!

I LOVE this cookie. I have been eating these since I was a little baby! I was so sad when they were hard to find in the U.S. for a few years... but VERY excited when I saw them for sale at a grocery store a week ago!!! As for it being "bad" for you - honestly, you don't need to eat a whole bag! I have two and am content. There is no point being greedy - you're only hurting yourself.
I think they taste better than Gnutella, and MUCH better than Hersheys crunchy wafers. These have a unique and fluffy taste, and whenever I am eating them, I am reminded of patisseries found overseas. They are especially tasty out of the fridge and without filling melting on your hands.

*Update January 25, 2008:
I finally bought the 25 package deal and they took a week to get to my front door (but it came along with the newly released HP#5 ). I used to munch on these as a little kid and then they went MIA for about a decade. The chocolate has a slightly different taste than what my taste buds are used to now but that's because they're not American, they're German cookies... obviously they're a bit different!! And as for nutritious value... come on now, they are cookies not fruit. All in all, I am very happy with them and will probably buy them again - you can't beat the $.40/packet price!

There's little question that these cookies have the crumbly pastry-like taste associated with European biscuits in general, they're flaky good like a buttery crust, although not quite as rich and moist as Vienna's finest. The insides is moister; howver, replete with creamy soft chocolate flvor, almost pudding-like in consistency. However, your Honor, since there's a nutritional debate among these reviews, I'd like to enter into evidence the incontrovertible the facts right off this 5.3 ounce package OF "HITs" that I hold in my hand.

Exhibit A.
The following shows the amount and percent of the recommended daily allowance (rda) of one serving - that's two HIT cookies, or 27 grams--based on a 2,000 calorie/day diet.In one serving (two cookies (27 grams):
Calories per serving: 140, total fat =7 grams (11%), Saturated fat=6 grams (29%), Cholesterol, 0 grams; sodium, 75 mg (3%); and 17 grams (6%) of carbohydrates, including 1 gram (3%) of dietary fiber and 9 grams of sugar--and two grams of protein. You also get 2% of the RDA of Calcium, and 4% of iron.

Exhibit B:
Compare this to "one serving" or two (28 grams) cookies of wheat-free/dairy free, mostly organic Newman O's (a somewhat healthier version of the classic OREO): Total fat (4.5 grams), Saturated fat (1.5 g). Trans fat (0 g), calories (130), sugar (10.0 grams), Total Carbohydrates, (31.5g), dietary fiber (1 g), protein (2 g), sodium (85 mg), no cholesterol, iron (8%).

Nutritional conclusion (As always, consult your physician!):
Newman's beats the pants off HIT in total fat, saturated fat (HIT has 4 times as much), twice as much of the RDA of iron but has over twice as many carbohydrates, and minimally more sugar and sodium.

Style points:
I can see Audrey Hepburn eating a HIT bar (without the bright wrapper) or something like it, served on a silver platter, with Italian coffee or perhaps some tea. I cannot see her, unless she's slumming it in "Roman Holiday" eating an Oreo, even one owned by an actor as great as Paul Newman. HIT cookies--loved by kids, suitable for the adult.

Offered here at a great price; moveover, Amazon.com ships this free on eligible orders of $25 or more.

I was at a friend's housewarming party and she served these cookies (okay, after I made her sister ask her what was for dessert she begrudgingly handed them over) - I was hooked after the first one! I can see why she didn't want to part with them - the cookie part has a light chocolate-y cocoa flavor that isn't too intense and the filling is just the right consistency (not lard-y like Oreos). I originally bought the 25-pack thinking that I would share with people at work, but now that I have them I think they may be all for me. I'm giving them 4 stars because I just know that I'm going to end up eating all of them. You might think that this would be a defect in me, but I choose to blame the cookies. That's how I roll.

I buy a case of these or the cocoa variety whenever Amazon features them on the Friday Sale -- generally about six dollars less than the listed $22.00. The 5 ounce packages are paper reinforced cylinders, easy to pack and easy to open, great for a take-along treat. (The packs don't re-close, however, so you pretty much have to devour all contents once opened.) For Christmas I made up small gift baskets using these, a coffee mug or two, and some instant cappucino.

I RESERVE 5 STARS FOR FRESH-BAKED COOKIES. THIS 4 STAR COOKIE CONSISTS OF TWO LIGHT CRISPY WAFERS WITH A CHOCOLATEY TASTE REMINISCENT OF BROWNIES...NOT DARK CHOCOLATE... AND IN BETWEEN, A LIGHT CREAMY FILLING...NOT AT ALL LIKE THE DENSE OREO FILLING. THEY WOULD COMPLEMENT ICE CREAM NICELY. NOT TOO MANY NOW!

I fell in love with these cookies long time ago. The combination of cookie and chocolate is perfect. If you eat cookies for their nutritional value, well you might be disappointed because it is a COOKIE!
