In case you didn't know, I like Oreos. I like Oreos so much that I try all kinds of new Oreos. (as noted here, here and here). So it really shouldn't come as a surprise when I saw this on the grocery shelves, that I had to pick one up.
This one is a little different. As you can already tell, it's not the conventional sandwich cookie configuration you've come to expect from Oreo. This new offering of the fabled cookie classic appears to have the cream on top of a rectangular chocolate flavored cookie in a triangular shape with white chocolate drizzled across.
Each box comes with a 8 individually wrapped packs of these little guys and when I opened one, I thought to myself if it would be too sweet with a mountain of cream on top AND white chocolate on top of the cream. Let's get to it. I bite in and surprisingly, the cream is not quite the same cream in a standard Oreo cookie. It's a bit harder, but the flavor is the same. The cookie also has the same classic crunch and flavor. That wasn't bad, but it didn't exactly rock my world...you can taste the white chocolate, but it didn't seem to really make a huge impression.
It's shaped almost like a hotel in Monopoly
The Sweet:
The texture contrast is still there, albeit in a different configuration and not quite as crunchy. The flavor is still unmistakable, you know you are eating an Oreo.
The sweetness of the white chocolate seems to push the sugar level over the top. Even though they label it as "white chocolate", this doesn't feel like anything new.
Not too shabby, but not earth shattering
Conclusion:
Different shape, a new flavor introduced into the mix, but the results are the same...literally. Yes, you do taste the white chocolate in there, but it isn't a game changer and barely registers a blip on the radar. It's not bad, but not enough to go out and quickly pickup every box before they go away. In this case, for the dollar and for the trouble, you are better off sticking to the American classic.
Video of the Week
Out of boredom this week, I started to surf around youtube this weekend and came across this little treasure. It comes from a show called "Whose Line is it Anyway?" with a special guest named Richard Simmons, a fitness guru here in the States. I've seen this multiple times, but it always seems to entertain.
"Who likes my shorts?!"
