The Snack Report: Chips Ahoy! Oreo Crème Filled Cookies
While at the grocery store the other day, picking up ingredients for dinner Erik and I stumbled upon an end cap of Chips Ahoy! cookies. Included were Oreo crème filled, and birthday frosting filled chewy Chips Ahoy! Intrigued by all things new in the cookie world, we knew we had to check these out. First up for trial, the Oreo crème filled cookies.
Cheat Code: Disco Fries
We’ve already covered disco fries on this blog, via the ill-fated disco fries pizza. That post didn’t really do disco fries justice though, since it made them out to be somewhat disappointing. But they’re not disappointing! They’re delicious! So today they’re getting their own post. For those of you unfamiliar, disco fries are essentially the Canadian delicacy poutine (French fries, gravy, and cheese curd), except it is made with melted mozzarella cheese in place of the cheese curd. This variation seems to have originated in the New York/New Jersey area. They’re frequently found at diners, but luckily for you, they’re also incredibly easy to make at home.
These are also disco fries, but not the ones you’ll be making.
The Snack Report: Turbana Plantain Chips
Plantains are an interesting food. They look like big, angular bananas, and that’s because they pretty much are. The two are very closely related. The main difference is that plantains are large and starchy, and therefore best eaten after being cooked, while bananas are smaller and sugary, and often eaten raw. Flavor-wise plantains are actually more similar to potatoes than bananas. In fact fried plantains (tostones) are pretty much just the best French fry you’ll ever have. The first time you eat plantains it can be hard to get over the idea that it’s’ going to taste like a banana. But once you do you’ll want to eat all the plantains.
The Snack Report: Stacy’s Pretzel Thins
Pretzels are an awesome snack. We even made a pizza out of them! Part of the reason for pretzels’ high rank in snackdom is just because they taste good. But another part is because there are so many pretzel options. They can be hard and crunchy, or soft and chewy. They can be salty or sweet (or both at the same time!). They can be big or small. Even just within hard pretzels there are numerous shapes and sizes. Today we’ll be focusing on the flat pretzel thins.
The Snack Report – Cookie Dough Oreos
So, remember a couple of weeks ago when I wrote a nice post about how good the new Oreo flavor is? This post…won’t be like that. A week after trying the Marshmallow Crispy Oreos, we tried the other new limited edition flavor, Cookie Dough. It would be fair to say that the experience was not as enjoyable as the previous one. Let’s discuss.
