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.

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
