\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

I was going to start my Limited Edition Strawberries n\u2019 Creme Oreos review with an astute observation regarding how many Oreo varieties TIB has reviewed<\/a> over the past nine years. That was until I lost count somewhere between 20 and 25 while looking through the blog archives, and starting wondering if I should include bastardized Oreo siblings like the Fudge Cremes<\/a> or Oreo Brownies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So in the interest of utmost accuracy, I\u2019ll just ballpark the number of Oreo variants\u00a0 as more than the Duggars have kids<\/a> and less than the amount of NCAA Division I football teams<\/a>, while also mentioning that, for the most part, we\u2019ve liked the Oreos we\u2019ve tried over these last nine years. Including, I should add, two Oreo flavors that on first inspection don\u2019t seem too different than these new Oreos — Strawberry Milkshake<\/a> and Berry Burst<\/a> Oreo cookies.<\/p>\n

How a strawberries n’ cream is supposed to differ from a strawberry milkshake is a matter of semantics and temperature, I guess. But it being May and the whole world is filled with reminders about why I should buy my mom a chocolate-dipped strawberry for Mother\u2019s Day, perhaps the flavor makes sense given the increasing regularity of Limited Edition Oreo variants. Personally, I\u2019m all for combining holidays with Oreo flavors, just as long as those holiday-themed Oreo cookies don\u2019t include Gefilte fish Oreo cookies for Passover.<\/p>\n

The aroma of each Strawberries n\u2019 Creme Oreo borders somewhere between the cloying Oops! All Berries<\/a> smell and that of the classically mellow chocolate wafer cookie we all love so much. <\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

Unlike regular Oreo cookies, the wafer portion detaches from the creme with little effort, displaying a smooth filling that\u2019s roughly 70 percent strawberry creme and 30 percent, uh, creme. Maybe it\u2019s just me, but it I swear there\u2019s been some kind of ingredient change in Oreo creme over the last few years which has yielded a more frosting-like filling, and these are no exception. The filling is a bit oily on the tongue, although nowhere as oily as Mel Kiper\u2019s hair<\/a>, and it doesn\u2019t have the little specks that the Berry Burst Oreo cookies (or actual strawberries) do.<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

As for the taste, the strawberry portion tastes like raspastrawberry. Yes, that\u2019s right, raspastrawberry<\/i>. Not the ambiguous berry flavor of a Crunch Berry nor the somewhat blackberryish flavor of Buffalo\u2019s finest Loganberry<\/a>, the frosting-like filling straddles the line somewhere between the two most iconic red berries. It\u2019s not really tart, nor does it have a distinct richness of cream\u00a0that strawberries dipped in whipped cream have, but it does generally taste like strawberries. But it also tastes like a dull raspberry. So yes, it tastes like raspastrawberry frosting.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately there isn\u2019t much of that summer day strawberries n’ cream effect that conjures up images of Memorial Day cookouts with just-picked berries and fresh whipped cream. Instead, the effect is more like clearance February Walmart strawberries with Cool Whip. Actually, there\u2019s not even a faux whipped cream flavor at all here, with a single lick of both fillings tasting exactly like a mild strawberry frosting. It\u2019s not bad, but then again, it\u2019s not strawberries n\u2019 cream.<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/a><\/p>\n

The good news for purists is that the berry flavor doesn\u2019t overwhelm the chocolate of the cookie, and instead plays a supporting role in a pleasant strawberry-ish and chocolate taste that comes together with the crunchy cookie. Like all Double Stuf Oreo varieties, it\u2019s that contrast of smooth creme and crunchy chocolate shell which makes these cookies worth it. Actually, now that I think about it, the flavor is more chocolate-dipped strawberry than strawberry n’ cream.<\/p>\n

Make no mistake about it, these Limited Edition Strawberries n\u2019 Creme Oreo cookies don\u2019t really take like strawberries and whipped cream, and they definitely don\u2019t strike me as the kind of limited edition cookie to stock up on. But any time you combine frosting with a crunchy cookie shell, one can only go so wrong.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve stuffed, double stuffed, and even mega stuffed<\/a> more Oreo varieties than I can count, and these are far from the disaster some flavors have been. Just don\u2019t try passing them off as an actual Mother\u2019s Day present, because I\u2019m fairly sure the woman who gave me life will expect more than the latest shiny snack on the Walmart shelf when it comes to me saying thanks.<\/p>\n

Item:<\/b> Limited Edition Strawberries n’ Creme Oreo
\nPurchased Price:<\/b> $2.98
\nSize:<\/b> 15.25 oz.
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Walmart
\nRating:<\/b> 6 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Not just a rehashing of Berry Burst Oreo. Strawberry flavor is discernible, albeit in a hybrid raspastrawberry way. Filling doesn\u2019t overwhelm the chocolate cookie flavor. Creme is smooth and not gritty. No trans fat. More potassium than regular Oreo.
\nCons:<\/b> Strawberry flavor is muted, and \u201ccreme\u201d element lacks the rich taste of actual strawberries in whipped cream. Attempting to differentiate between cr\u00e8me, cream, creme. Nothing special in the realm of two dozen or so Oreo varieties. Not a proper Mother\u2019s Day gift.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
