The Cookout Heath Toffee milkshake started as a reviewer's favorite and became a shake critics wish had more toffee. A 2015 review at On Second Scoop crowned it the best of three Cook Out shakes. Mashed ranks it 18th, The Daily Meal 22nd, and a fan scorer gave it 9.5 of 17. At 701 calories in a 32.1 oz cup it is the lightest candy bar shake in the official guide, and it typically costs $3.99.
Why was Heath Toffee a reviewer's favorite in 2015?
Because the toffee bits were in nearly every sip. The On Second Scoop reviewer tried the Mocha, the Oreo Mint and the Heath Bar shakes and picked the Heath as hands-down the best, calling the vanilla and toffee combination simple and delicious. The Heath pieces were well sized and none clogged the straw.
What do the later critics say?
| Source | Verdict |
|---|---|
| The Talon (2018) | 14th of 43 |
| Mashed | 18th; chocolate and toffee balance, but the toffee gets lost and could use a heavier dose |
| The Daily Meal | 22nd of 41; crunchy candy bits give toffee and chocolate pops in each sip |
| cookoutmilkshakereviews.com | 9.5 of 17; well mixed but the Heath pieces were smaller than expected, and the toffee lacks punch |
| Tripadvisor reviewer, Morristown, TN | Lists the Heath Bar shake among favorites with Reese's Cup and Snickers |
Every later critic makes the same point: more toffee would help. The 2015 reviewer got well-sized pieces in nearly every sip, and the newer reviewers found them small.
Why is it the lightest candy shake?
The cup is small. At 32.1 oz it is the smallest candy shake in the official guide, 0.3 oz under Snickers, and its 15 grams of protein is the lowest of the group.
| Candy shake | Size | Calories | Total fat | Cholesterol |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Heath Toffee | 32.1 oz | 701 | 28 g | 66 mg |
| Snickers | 32.4 oz | 720 | 27 g | 65 mg |
| M&M's | 32.6 oz | 755 | 27 g | 65 mg |
| Reese's Cup | 33.4 oz | 894 | 37 g | 55 mg |
Cholesterol is the one measure where Heath Toffee leads: 66 milligrams, the highest of the candy shakes, against a typical 55 for the menu.
Does it contain nuts?
Yes. Our allergen chart lists milk and tree nuts for it. Heath bars contain almonds, so skip it with a tree nut allergy.
Is the Cookout Heath Toffee milkshake worth the crunch?
Yes, for toffee fans and for anyone who wants a candy shake at 701 calories. Ask for extra toffee if the pieces matter to you.
