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!

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
