S'mores Oreo

-
S'moreos!
Flower Power! The first s'more recipe appeared in a 1927 Girl Scout guidebook. Because nobody over twelve could ever concoct such a genius dessert. And few treats are so divisive. Do you blacken the marshmallow beyond all reason? Or are they best lightly toasted? In 2016, Nabisco released S'mores Oreos as a part of their spring/summer collection! Will these cookies have you nostalgically singing your favorite campfire songs? Let's find out! We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS! 
The package may be wrinkly but the taste is all there!

 Flavor Creativity
V- S'more flavor is to summer as pumpkin spice is to fall. And I am happy about it, but I can't give it major points for creativity. It's as delicious as it is familiar. If you are looking for a more out-there summer Oreo, give the watermelon or pop rocks cookies a go! 

B- I'll be honest: I'd eat anything labeled "s'more." That being said, it's in-between in the creativity realm. V summed it up pretty well with her seasons analogy. 

 Flavor Execution
V- They are pretty good! These Oreos have two distinct cremes, chocolate and marshmallow, beneath graham cracker cookies. I know Oreo has had toasted marshmallow flavor out in the past, but the marshmallow flavor in the s'mores version tastes like untoasted fluff and the chocolate layer is in the same boat! I wonder what would happen if you just roasted them over a campfire to your liking? 

B- I thought it did well on the execution. I could taste both cream flavors pretty equally. But yeah, they miss that melting aesthetic. But, I also don't want my cookie to be melting. 




Does it Sparkle?
V- They sparkle! Every summer, Oreo fine tunes the S'Mores Oreos' aesthetic. The subtle little trees on this year's packaging make me feel ready for picnic season. I also love how you can see the two cremes stacked between the cookies. They look just how a cookie s'more should!

 B - Are you sure we looked at the same packaging? I thought the box itself was pretty generic. It had some s'mores behind some Oreos. But overall I think it's a pretty cookie.  

Pairing
V-  Is it just me, or is there something wonderful about s'mores and cheap beer? Enjoy them on a beautiful summer evening with a little Natty Light. For family outings, they are a great edition to summer picnics! 

 B- Pairs with milk and an open fire. 
S'more Weather
Buy Again?
B- Definitely. Just haven't been able to find them again. The seasonal ones are as wonderful to eat as they are fleeting in shelf life. 

V- For sure! I've been buying them every summer for years now. They are popular though and disappear quickly from the shelves.
Final Thoughts
V- It's a solid Oreo that fills our most basic summer cravings. I think the old-timey girl scouts would be proud. 

 B- It does make me think of warmer days, too. God bless the girl scouts.

Space Dunk Oreos

Killer Oreos From Outer Space January 29th, 2024, in a galaxy far far away, Nabisco's Space Dunk Oreos hit shelves! With probe Odysseus landing on the moon (the first one in decades to do so) in February and the rare eclipse happening in April, we have been partying to the moon and back! Maybe we'll finally get to meet the aliens! While this is not the first marshmallow-flavored space Oreo, it is the first to add pop rocks to the creme. Do the Space Dunk Oreos live up to the 2024 intergalactic hype? Let's find out together. We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS! Creativity V- Pop rocks and marshmallow as a flavor combo is certainly unique! If you liked it (like I did), then the risk paid off and you might find it creative. If you didn't like it, it may come across as a bizarre pairing that is more focused on being unique or edgy than flavorful. I am giving it creativity points because the theme and flavors were wacky, but it worked! I also love how, for this edition, they el...

Black and White Oreos

Black and White ! In December 2023, Nabisco first revealed the black and white Oreos. No grey area here! Maybe I am overly free-associating but for me, black and white conveys classy old movies, Transatlantic accents, noir detectives, and incredible style! Did Nabisco evoke such grandeur? Let's find out together! We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS! Creativity B-  OK, s o the idea was *almost* there for this. As a first impression, it sounds cool and the cookies themselves look classy as hell. But unfortunately, the execution wasn't all there to earn any points from me here. They could've taken the flavor and name a step (or two or three) further. V- The black and white Oreos are simple. We have vanilla cookie sandwiches with a swirl of white and chocolate creme on the inside. For full creativity points, Nabisco would need to incorporate the black-and-white concept into a grand theme! Maybe each package could have had fun facts about zebras (Nabisco should totally hire me as ...

Super Mario Oreos

Super Mario Let's a-go! In July 2023, Nabisco released Super Mario Oreos! The flavor is classic, while the cookies have designs with all your favorite Mario characters. Super Mario is one of the most iconic pop culture icons of all time. One thing I've never understood though-how does Bowser kidnap Princess Peach one day, and then go go-karting with her as a friend the next? The world may never know! As established Oreo bloggers, we have high standards. We hope that each Oreo captures the strange, colorful magic of the Mario universe. Let's find out together. We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS!   Creativity V-  The Mario movie was a summer hit! Mario started hopping on Wrigglers and Yoshis in  Super Mario World  in 1990 ,  and it's no surprise that Nabisco is hopping on this bandwagon now! And I love it. It's fun when people come together to enjoy a pop culture moment. Unfortunately, I can't give full creativity points for such blatant capitalism. Maybe I would be...
