Sour Patch Oreos

Sour Patch Oreos  In April 2024, the sandwich cookie gods released Sour Patch Oreos onto grocery store shelves. Sour Patch Kids, much like Taylor Swift, rebrand every few decades to keep up with pop culture trends. In the 70s, they were Martians to reflect the space craze. In the 80s, they were marketed as kids to embody Cabbage Patch fever, but they were not portrayed as mischievous as the current iteration. Does Nabisco's interpretation elevate this wildly popular treat? Let's find out! We are B and V, and WE RATE OREOS!   Creativity B- This cookie aimed high for creativity... Higher than any cookie should... V- Yeah! Few have attempted to turn a sweet and sour candy into a cookie to this extent. I love to bake, but I have no clue how to make a cookie taste like sour candy. I am thrilled that someone did it though, so I don't have to die not knowing! Execution V- I was shocked by how much I liked these. The human element of Sour Patch Kids freaks me out too much to eat th

Churro Oreos

Churreos In March 2024, Churro Oreos graced supermarket shelves! Churros are curvy logs of sugar-coated fried dough. Originating (probably) in Spain, churros are named after the wavy horns of the majestic Navajo-Churro sheep. Male Navajo-Churro sheep can grow up to four churro-esque horns! Be sure to keep that one safe for trivia night! We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS!!! Creativity V- Of course it's creative! I've never had churro-creme sandwiched between cinnamon Oreos until the churreos hit the shelves. Elevated churros often have dulce de leche, cinnamon, or chocolate filling in the middle, so the concept lends itself beautifully to a sandwich cookie. B- The concept is great. I am surprised not too see more churro-style cookies; the flavor translates really well into cookie form.  Execution V-  The flavors are all there! They're seriously so good. The cookie tastes like it was coated in sugar crystals, while the creme tastes like warm cinnamon. However, the texture and

Dirt Cake Oreos

Dirty, Flirty, and Thriving  Nabisco officially released dirt cake Oreos on March 4th, 2024. Proper dirt cake (if there is such a thing) consists of layers of chocolate pudding, crushed Oreos, and gummy worms on top. It's a beloved treat that frequents children's birthday parties. I've scoured the internet, and the great dirt cake's origins are tragically unclear. It is likely midwestern, and it probably manifested sometime in the 1980s. Although the dirt cake's past is uncertain, the future of this beloved treat is bright! Dirt cake is still guaranteed to bring a little weirdness to any party. We can't wait to try these! We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS! Creativity B- Yes, definitely creative. This is another dessert you don't see done too often! On that note, I do wonder why people stopped making dirt cake an acceptable food after grade school. Like, please bring this back as a party or potluck dish - it's delish! V-  Full creativity points! The dirt c
