Oreo O’s are dead.<\/p>\n

The cereal does not exist anymore. Not here in the States, not in Seoul, not even in freaking Pyongyang. Why else do you think Kim Jong-un is <\/a>shooting missiles into the ocean?<\/p>\n

The magical elixir of milk that blends the sweet chocolaty taste of cookies and the crunchy wholesomeness of breakfast cereal is but a distant memory. In its place we have a few attempts at compromise, but who are we kidding? The stale abomination known as Cookie Crisp will never suffice, nor will a new limited edition Oreo creme which tastes <\/a>like sixteen bowls of Fruity Pebbles.<\/p>\n

But perhaps we have been looking in the wrong places. Instead of trying to find the soul of Oreo O’s in cereal or even cookies, perhaps the flavor explosion of sweet milk, chocolate, and corn cereal can be resurrected in ice cream form?<\/p>\n

As our 1990s selves would have said: Well, DUH!<\/p>\n

I have eaten a lot of <\/a>off-the-wall Baskin-Robbins ice cream flavors in my day, but the new Oreo Milk ‘n Cereal flavor is my favorite, mostly because it captures the Oreo and cereal vibe that only my beloved Oreo O’s had been able to do. But if I thought the combination of Oreo chocolate wafers embedded into a crunchy corn cereal base was good, then Oreo Milk ‘n Cereal ice cream borrows a line from Tony the Tiger and is Gr-r-reat!<\/i><\/p>\n

\"Baskin-Robbins<\/a><\/p>\n

The cereal milk flavored ice cream basically tastes like a sweeter, richer, and thicker version of a really good cookies and cream ice cream; one studded with so many crunchy Oreo pieces you’d have thought an entire package of Oreos went into a single scoop. This isn\u2019t some store-brand cookies and cream. Big chunks of rounded, ridged edged Oreo wafers are packed with a bittersweet chocolate flavor that contrasts the sweet ice cream base and the slightly salty, chewy frosted flakes ribbon.<\/p>\n

\"Baskin-Robbins<\/a><\/p>\n

What\u2019s this, you say? The description reads frosted corn flake cereal pieces and a crunchy frosted corn flake cereal ribbon.<\/i> Well that it does, but the description is as big a fib as telling you that you can still buy a box of Oreo O\u2019s on Amazon. <\/p>\n

Truth be told, I licked every nook and cranny of this cone, and the corn flake ribbon and frosted flake pieces are one and the same. The pieces have an odd texture that\u2019s somewhere between the discontinued Frosted Flakes Gold, a northern style corn bread, and, I swear I\u2019m not making this up, Corn Nuts. If that wasn\u2019t complicated enough, there\u2019s also notes of waffle cone and Cap\u2019n Crunch, although I suspect the latter is due to toasting the clustered ribbon in coconut oil.<\/p>\n

Long list of ingredients aside, It\u2019s like having a corn cakes breakfast-flavored cereal, and it\u2019s beyond delicious (note to Kellogg\u2019s: Get on that).<\/p>\n

I was actually a little skeptical that Oreo cookies and corn\/frosted flakes would work together, but the result is a surprisingly harmonious m\u00e9nage \u00e0 trois<\/i>, hearkening back to Oreo O\u2019s while introducing another layer of crunchy corn sweetness and sweet creamy flavor. So do yourself a favor and wipe those tears from your keyboard, because you\u2019ll soon be dripping melting ice cream (and tears of joy) all over the space bar.<\/p>\n

\nPros:<\/b> Tastes like a combination of Oreo O\u2019s, Frosted Flakes, pancakes, and Cap\u2019n Crunch all in one lick. Sweet and rich cookies and cream vibe from the cereal milk base. Excellent contrast of crunchy and creamy.
\nCons:<\/b> Cereal element isn\u2019t exactly as advertised and isn\u2019t crispy in the way cereal is. Crying over spilled (cereal) milk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
