The Snack Report: Limeade Oreos

Continuing with this week’s theme of Oreo reviews (and our never ending quest to get free cookies sent to us) I am here to review another limited edition Oreo flavor out now: Limeade.  I was instantly intrigued when I saw these cookies in the grocery store last week, mostly because of the bright green filling.  Luckily they happened to be on sale, so they quickly made their way into my shopping cart.  However I became a bit wary after running into the Oreo rep lady, who happened to be there refilling the shelves.  Her opinion of them was, “They’re not terrible.”  While that’s certainly a good sign, it’s also not the highest praise either.  So…how did I find them to be?

The Snack Report: Reese’s Peanut Butter Oreos

When it comes to licensing brand names to things, obviously Oreo is no stranger to the game. Oreos has lent itself into candy bars, cereal, ice cream, and lots of other random products that made use of its formula and name. On the other side of the spectrum is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, which has also licensed itself out. Its sidequests include cookies, cereal, ice cream, and lots of other random products. Holy shit! It’s like they’re connected!

Cheat Codes: Eggless Chocolate Chip Cookies

Picture the scene: It’s midnight.  An adorable mid-20s couple wanders into the kitchen in their PJs with the intent of making chocolate chip cookies.  Then, disaster; they discover that they are out eggs.  How this happened, no one knows.  But there’s nothing that can be done about it now.  What do they do?  Do they give up on having cookies?  Do they go to bed without dessert?  No!  They adapt!

"But what did they do?" asks the little bird.

The Snack Report: Chips Ahoy! Birthday Frosting Filled Cookies

Last week I reviewed one of Chips Ahoy!’s new chewy filled cookie flavors – Oreo crème filled.  This week I’ll take a look at the second new flavor – Birthday Frosting.  From the outset we were more skeptical of this flavor.  Frosting can be a wonderful thing, but many times mass produced frosting is filled with chemicals and just tastes weird and fake.  So we didn’t have much hope for the frosting that filled these cookies.  But we tried them anyway, for you, dear readers (and also just because we really like cookies).
