Snickerdoodle!

Snickerdoodle
The Snickerdoodle is arguably more American than apple pie! German and Dutch immigrants first brought these cinnamon cookies to the U.S. during the 19th century. What started as a secret among Amish and Mennonite communities quickly spread to Americans far and wide! In November 2022, Nabisco released its own hot take on the classic Snickerdoodle. Do the Snickerdoodle Oreos do justice to the original product, in all its goodness and simplicity? Let's find out! We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS!


Creativity
V- The Snickerdoodle Oreos are a little basic, and that's okay! As much as I love when Nabisco brings us flavors like Swedish Fish and apple cider donut (but NEVER wasabi), sometimes you're just in the mood for a classic. 

B- I think they actually took the classic snickerdoodle up a notch with the addition of the sprinkles. The red and green round sprinkles remind me of the kind of snickerdoodles you see at a holiday cookie exchange. These made me nostalgic for the Christmas parties I went to growing up. 

Execution
B- These were surprisingly (and addictingly) good. They had a great flavor and balance; sweet and cinnamon-y. And the sprinkles gave it an extra texture and sweetness.

V- Oh my gosh! I forgot how good Snickerdoodles can be until I tried the Oreo interpretation! They're really good, you guys! The cookies balance vanilla from the golden Oreos with just the right sprinkling of cinnamon. The creme is all sugar, complete with little sprinkles inside! The whole experience is a happy little sugar rush.

Does it Sparkle?
B- The outside package was nothing fancy. I feel like Nabisco fell short here - like that one year Starbucks decided not to do holiday cups...

V- The package is yellow-brown with snowflakes that are a different shade of yellow-brown? It's odd because snow does not usually start to take on that rich urine color until it's been on the ground for a while. But while I am calling out the package design, the cookie itself is flawless. The brownish cookie, white creme, and red and green flecks all make a beautiful design where every flavor is aesthetically showcased!



Pairing
V- I advise keeping it sweet! Cupcake brand white wine would be nice. If you are doing dryuary, don't drink, or happen to be under 21, Chai tea will also pair beautifully!

B- For me, a sweet pairing seemed to detract some of the sweetness from the cookies. I'd opt to balance with a classic glass of plain milk.  

Buy Again
V- I tried! I cannot find them anywhere! Where are they? They are literally so addicting and they disappeared after barely a month!

B- I also looked and could not find them again! But would have happily purchased more!  

The Ratings!

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
