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.

Cookies-N-Cream

Cookies-N-Cream Nabisco went meta on us! Cookies-n-cream is a popular treat involving sandwich cookies mixed up in ice cream. However, you are usually not even getting real Oreos, just an off-brand! But don't fret. Since February 2023, Nabisco has given us cookies-n-creme Oreos! Are they as good as the  local creamery  knockoffs? Let's find out! We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS! Creativity B- Mega Oreo sounds like a fake thing, but it became a real thing in these. Oreo-inception! V- It's an Oreo-flavored Oreo! I can't call it especially creative, but I do think it's genius.  Execution V- There are ups and downs. The cookies are unusually frail, and the triple-creme was a lot for me. But, I appreciate how the filling is softer and creamier even though it seems to be the same vegan concoction we see in almost every other Oreo. I think it was the consistency they were going for. It was just a bit much for me!  B- I was not expecting to like these, but, I did, in a way.

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

Cotton Candy Oreos

Cotton Candy Nabisco once again surprised us with a summer flavor nobody was expecting! Cotton Candy Oreos hit the shelves in June 2023. Cotton candy was invented in 1897 by a dentist! He probably wanted to keep the dental industry busy for years to come? Like Oreos, cotton candy has stayed popular for over a centennial. It's about time we saw this fusion! We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS! Creativity V-  All the creativity points! I am especially impressed with the incorporation of both blue and pink cotton candy in the creme. Thank goodness they went with the vanilla cookies (chocolate would have been a disaster)! It adds a new element to a timeless treat. This is my first cotton candy cookie, so kudos to Nabisco for the innovation. B- I agree with full points here. I have never seen cotton candy attempted as a cookie or even anything that didn't have it in a sugar crystal or candy-like form.   Execution B- It tastes like a carnival in your mouth. It's a surprising flavor
