"While we gave it points for its whimsical name, the Razzleberry pie failed to live up to the texture and flavor we'd hoped for. What's in a Razzleberry pie, you might ask? The box pictures a pie stuffed with raspberries and blackberries, but a glance at the ingredients reveals apples as well. We were looking forward to a nice berry tartness balanced with the sweetness of apples in the filling, but were disappointed to find neither."
"The pie filling wasn't very sweet because it was mostly berries, but we tasted a nondescript fruit flavor without any bright, tart juice you'd expect from the berries. Despite Marie Callender's unfortunate use of soybean oil in their crusts, in the case of this pie, it was the one saving grace. The crust was buttery, flaky, and soft, completely encompassing the filling so you got some with each bite."
Marie Callender's Razzleberry frozen pie combines raspberries, blackberries, and apples in the filling but delivers muted berry and apple flavors. The filling lacks bright, tart juice and is not very sweet, producing a nondescript fruit flavor rather than distinct berry tartness balanced by apple sweetness. The crust, though made with soybean oil, is described as buttery, flaky, and soft and delivers filling in every bite. Consumer feedback on Marie Callender's website includes numerous one-star reviews, with complaints that the filling has become jelly-like and that plump berries are absent.
