Pepperidge Farm Microwavable Garlic Bread is a MISS

Toasty? Not. Crispy? Not. Yum? Definitely not. Sometimes innovation can get in the way of a good food product. This garlic bread is greasy and frankly tasteless. The aroma horrible and lingers in the microwave for hours. The crust of the bread is soft and mushy. The idea is to leave it in the bag, cut off the ends and microwave for 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 minutes depending on wattage. They also have "conventional oven" cooking directions for a crispier center (but then why tout the "innovative microwave quilt bag"?). Big letters on the front - made with real Garlic - but look at the ingredients and there is less than 2% of garlic. The "spread" is margarine and soybean oil and by the way the real garlic is dehydrated garlic and garlic extract. Do yourself a favor, buy fresh bread, add butter or olive oil and minced garlic. A 2  3/8" slice is 8 grams of fat and 180 calories.
