Stars: 3 out of 5
Pros: Sweet flavor
Cons: Too sweet at times, misses target Rice Crispy Flavor
The Bottom Line:
Taste disappointing
Misses target flavor and
A little too sweet
Interesting Idea Doesn't Quite Work in the Execution
I can't seem to resist new flavors of old classics. I enjoy Oreos, but that meant I had to try
the limited edition Marshmallow Crispy Oreo I spotted in a store recently. Unfortunately, they'd don't live up to the
promise.
While no where is it stated on the package, these are
obviously supposed to taste like Rice Crispy Treats. How do I know that? While the title is a clue, the big picture of
one on the package is a bigger giveaway.
And occasionally if I really concentrate, I can taste it from the
cookies. But usually, I can't.
Instead, I get a very sweet flavor with maybe a hint of
marshmallow in there. It's sweet to the
point of almost being sickening, which is a shame since I wanted to like these
cookies, but there's no real substitute for the real Rice Crispy Treats.
These are the Oreo vanilla cookies they've started making in
recent years with the fake marshmallow (aka white) center. That's one reason it just becomes too sweet I
think. And the vanilla overpowers the
center most of the time.
Of course, being cookies, these are no remotely healthy or
good for you. 2 cookies contain 140
calories and no vitamins at all. The
ingredients do list flour, but the rest isn't that good for you either like
sugar and oils.
Between the disappointing flavor how bad these are for you,
it's easy to skip the Marshmallow Crispy Oreo.
I know I won't be tempted in the future.
