Churro Oreos

-


Churreos
In March 2024, Churro Oreos graced supermarket shelves! Churros are curvy logs of sugar-coated fried dough. Originating (probably) in Spain, churros are named after the wavy horns of the majestic Navajo-Churro sheep. Male Navajo-Churro sheep can grow up to four churro-esque horns! Be sure to keep that one safe for trivia night! We are B and V and WE RATE OREOS!!!

Creativity
V- Of course it's creative! I've never had churro-creme sandwiched between cinnamon Oreos until the churreos hit the shelves. Elevated churros often have dulce de leche, cinnamon, or chocolate filling in the middle, so the concept lends itself beautifully to a sandwich cookie.

B- The concept is great. I am surprised not too see more churro-style cookies; the flavor translates really well into cookie form. 

Execution

V- The flavors are all there! They're seriously so good. The cookie tastes like it was coated in sugar crystals, while the creme tastes like warm cinnamon. However, the texture and shape are still important to the churro experience. I would have loved to see these elements incorporated, but it's still a great cookie!

B- They captured the taste and mouth-feel really well! There was a good balance between the cinnamon sugar and fried dough flavors. I give them a little more credit than V regarding the texture because I felt that the crystallization achieved some of this. 

Does it Sparkle?
B- The coloring of the cookie itself is as expected based on the ingredients. I would have loved to see the cover art do more with the background though. Maybe even incorporate some influences from Spanish or Portuguese culture.

V- I despise the yellow packing! If you were dressed in beige from head to toe, you would also want to be displayed against literally any other color.  


Pairing
B- Pair with mocha iced coffee. The chocolate would complement the churro and the coffee to ensure it doesn't become overly sweet. Or, for the adult-beverage-seekers: Rumchata. 

V- Pair with red wine (never white) or black coffee. If you are of the bourgeoise, pair it with a chocolate white Russian. 

Buy Again
V- I would absolutely buy these again. I know many people who liked them, so they would be easy to share.

B- I did buy again :)  

Overall
B- I might like these even better than churros because the lack of loose sugar means way less mess. Kudos, Nabisco! 

V- I LOVE when an international flavor is done well! Yay!

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
