Chocolate Marshmallow Oreos

-

Marshmallow Madness
Much like the modern Oreo scene, marshmallows come in variety. You may have seen strawberry or mint marshmallows at your local grocery store, but have you ever compared up them against the classic? Dessert innovators have even posted recipes for grapefruit, bubble gum, and sriracha marshmallows. In January 2020, Chocolate Marshmallow Oreos were released in celebration of marshmallow creativity! I wonder if there are Oreo-flavored marshmallows out there... We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS! 


Flavor Creativity
V- Full points! I appreciate the flavored marshmallow angle. The chocolate aspect takes the Oreo from being a "fluff piece" into something genuinely intriguing! 

B- Also awarding full creativity points here. I've seen burnt marshmallow, toasted marshmallow, and s'mores before, but this is new. But not like too new in such a way where the flavor is *too* out there.

Flavor Execution
B- Pretty accurate to the flavor description. If I had to describe it another way: it tastes like those stale, miniature colorful marshmallows you get when you leave the Lucky Charms box open too many days in a row. But then with the aftertaste of chocolate milk. 

V- They taste and feel like a chocolaty marshmallow. Nabisco got the marshmallow creme just right. It even clings to the roof of your mouth! It's as sticky and mildly traumatic to eat as the real deal. The chocolate aspect was well-done. They splurged on the good stuff for us there! The marshmallow bits in the chocolate cookies were a nice thought, but added an awkward chewy texture to everything. Chocolate Marshmallow Oreos have some definite strengths in their flavors and textures, and just a few aspects that could be tweaked.   


Does it Sparkle? 
V- No. The white flecks in the chocolate cookies look like bird poo. If the bits were more defined and evenly dispersed, it would be a different story. Luckily, the taste does not match the aesthetic! 

B- Lovely visual there, V. Lol. But, yeah, these are not very pretty. I see what they were trying to do with the white flecks, but aesthetically I didn't like it either. It looks like somebody sprinkled Styrofoam rubbings into the cookie mix before baking.

Pairing
B- Pair with a Natty light or whatever you'd drink around a campfire. I also would say coffee or vanilla something, because (besides coffee being the ultimate pairing) this cookie has an almost smokey flavor that I think would compliment it in a similar way. I sampled these Oreos while drinking vanilla infused s'mores iced coffee, and that combination was on point!

V- That sounds amazing! A simple glass of milk compliments all of the dominant flavors. If you need something stronger, a White Russian or some Baileys over ice would pair nicely. Avoid any drinks that are too chocolaty because these cookies already have that department covered! 


Buy Again?
V- No, but I only like toasted marshmallows. However, I would recommend these to any true marshmallow fans out there.

B- They didn't "wow" me, but, not bad overall; I wasn't disappointed, but, I wasn't impressed enough to buy them again either. 

 Final Thoughts
B- They're still stuck in my teeth...

 V- The Chocolate Marshmallow Oreos were fun to try! They really got me thinking about how tricky it can be sometimes to get your flavor, texture, and look just right.

    “Marshmallow” can be hard to get just right. Might try these myself. A truly exceptional post, yet again.

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
