Peanut  Allergy  Warning!!!
Two brands of rolled wafer cookies.
Both come in an attractive/reusable tin.
Both come in a Chocolate Hazelnut flavor.
Both Delicious and have very similar packaging and are found in the same isle of my local grocery store.
ONE is made with Peanut Oil!!
The Pirouline cookies are made with peanut oil.
The Pirouette cookies are peanut-free.    


I was rushing through the store not too long ago. I picked up some hot apple cider and chai tea K-cups while making a mental note that I had plenty of Hot Cocoa at home. It was a cold snowy day and I thought that a nice hot drink with some special fancy cookies would be a great treat for the kids. I set out to find “those yummy chocolate filled sticks,” not being able to remember the name I thought, “They start with a P. Pir…something.” It had been quite a while since we had them but I remember the kids liking them and since one of them has a peanut allergy it is always easier to stick with treats we know. In the cookie isle of the store I saw the familiar tin, Pirouline it said, I grabbed it and brought it home. Out of habit, I glanced at the ingredients on the back as I was opening them for the kids and was shocked to see PEANUT OIL as an ingredient! The Pepperidge Farm brand of the same cookie is called a Pirouette. That brand is safe and peanut-free! The packaging was so similar that I didn't even realize I had grabbed something other than what I had previously got. 
Safe peanut free 
contains peanut oil
