To me, a lot of food (both sweet and savory) tastes best at room temperature.

But I like certain cookies right out of the fridge (some friends even tell me they're better out of the freezer, too).

So:

Mallomars
Thin Mints

What others?

Out of the fridge? Mallomars and Thin Mints? I've never tried them IN the fridge, but I see fun new experiments in my future!

I do like partially frozen marshmallows. Don't ask me how that was discovered.

I eat almost all cookies frozen--if they're left at room temp I will see them and eat them Keeping them in the freezer will extend the life of the batch...er, somewhat.

Milky Way bars frozen solid. You must have strong teeth and jaws, but so yummy.

Brownies - they're fudgier.

Frozen brownies are the best.

I like Teddy Bear biscuits out of the fridge.
It's almost never bad to feed someone.

Brownies most definitely. In fact, I don't like room temp brownies at all.

Uno Bars, for the candy bar category. If you can find them.

Chocolate chip cookies. But I have to disagree, ruthcooks. They're not any safer in the freezer than in the cookie jar, as I think you know! :wink:

I used to like Hydrox sandwich cookies frozen, some candies, like Milky Way or Kit Kat, and homemade chocolate chip cookies.

My wife makes bourbon balls for Christmas http://southernfood..../r/bl81212f.htm

 

They're an uncooked cookie that has a dose of boubon in them.  We keep them in the freezer and the booze keeps them from freezing solid.  Fantastic right out of the freezer.
