Gluten Free Oreos

-
Gluten Freeeeee!
If you can believe it, it was not until the 1940s that the world discovered gluten intolerance! Living gluten-free is not just a diet trend, but vital for the comfort and health of nearly 10% of the world's population. In the past decades, major food/drink companies have been increasingly inclusive in regards to our gluten-free brothers and sisters. Already vegan, Nabisco announced gluten-free Oreos in November 2020. Did they do it with heart, or just jump on the bandwagon? We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS!


Creativity
V- I would have loved to have seen this a little earlier, but better late than never! I would not say this is creative flavor, so much as an absolute necessity. Everyone deserves to enjoy classic Oreos.

B- Agreed! Couldn't have said it better myself, V.

Execution
B- Tbh, they were pretty scant on the cream. I would recommend springing for the gluten free double stuff. Do expect that familiar chalky post protein bar aftertaste .

V- I like them! The gluten-free Oreo cookies taste more like a crumbly chocolate cracker than a conventional cookie, but they retain the sweetness of classic Oreos. Gluten-free flour is uniquely powdery and can be polarizing in texture. Luckily, the flour is clearly mixed with good cocoa. Try these with an open mind! They are good, but they do not have the consistency of a regular Oreo.

Does it Sparkle?
V- They look a little sad? I brought them to my classroom so my gluten-free kiddos could enjoy Oreos along with their gluten-forward classmates. Just the three-minute car ride to work had them all falling apart by the time I opened them at school! Then again, maybe that's just my driving? 

B- The cookie is thin and the layering is thin. It's like a sandwich with only the [GF] bread because it's hard to even see the cream. I'm not surprised to hear how easily they fell apart.  

Pairing
B- Getting charcuterie board vibes... 

V- Pair these with gluten-free goodness! Because they are so darn crumbly, you can use them as an ice cream topping (I hear Breyers has gluten-free products). These Oreos are a little smaller and lighter as well, so they could just work as a light snack to have out at a party.

Buy Again?
V- Yes! I have gluten-free people in my life, and I love sharing Oreos with people. 

B- Not for me. But for those persons with dietary restrictions or Celiac's, these are a great alternative. 

Overall
B- I can eat more of these in a row with less guilt than the regular ones. 

V- They are different, but the quality ingredients are there. I am into it.

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
