Dr. Lucy's Brownie Cakes

Anyone who has a challenge to find deserts and sweet treats to satisfy their gluten free (or dairy free) desires, need not look here.  Having tasted Lucy's products in the past found that these brownie cakes have just missed the mark.   I have found these cakes to be too hard and stale.  There is no real flavor (not really chocolaty as they advertise) since your taste buds are confused by the stale texture the sweats.  The first box I bought even had mold growing on a couple of the cakes.  Which I contacted the Lucy company about.  They quickly apologized, but explained to me that this could happen due to the delicate nature of the product being allergy free.  This seemed like an odd response, but welcomed a new box sent from them.  Upon opening the new box I experienced a similar taste and quality experience without the mold.  So, it is my opinion that these cakes should be avoided.  When you are being a charged a prime price to eat allergy and gluten free you should get what you pay for.  There is no reason why eating allergy free foods has to taste awful -so don't buy unless they are great.  This will help companies like this to continue to improve their products.  After all being gluten free doesn't mean you have to settle on tasteless foods for high prices.
