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

Buy Limited Edition Chocolate Strawberry Oreo Cookies on Amazon<\/a>\"\"<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

Two years ago, on a hazy New Year\u2019s morning (my birthday), my girlfriend woke me up with a package of Birthday Cake Oreo in bed, and the secret junk food junkie in me silently screamed with joy. <\/p>\n

Now, thanks to the cookie scientists at Nabisco, I can return the favor to my one true love on Valentine\u2019s Day with the Limited Edition Chocolate Strawberry Oreo. Whether or not a crinkly package of factory cookies can successfully replace four-dollars-a-pop chocolate-covered strawberries remains to be seen, but whether or not these Oreo\u2019s are a decent start to the pending onslaught of 2017\u2019s limited offerings can be laid to rest right now.<\/p>\n

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

The Oreo cookies look no different than the always available chocolate flavor, with a dark creme sandwiched between two classic wafer cookies; but the aroma is distinctly different and heavy on the strawberry. Something about the chocolate strawberry smell is immediately nostalgic, channeling Neapolitan ice cream sandwiches, kiddy cereal, and strawberry Pocky sticks. While it is definitely an artificial fruit smell, it is not too perfumey or cloying in any way.<\/p>\n

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

Digging into the cookies, the strong strawberry smell is put on the back burner as chocolate takes the more dominant role in overall flavor, which makes sense as the chocolate outweighs the strawberry components 2-to-1. The textures of the chocolate and strawberry cremes are exactly the same, which mixes the two flavors together in a way that is cohesive but ultimately not too special. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s nothing off-putting about the fruit flavor like the strange Swedish Fish Oreo, but there\u2019s also nothing particularly new or unique, like the slightly differing textures in the Filled Cupcake Oreo.<\/p>\n

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

A chocolate covered strawberry, as the design of the package directly implies, should have a more strawberry-forward flavor, and while these cookies do a good job of conveying both elements, the ratios and authenticity feel a bit off.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re a tasty crunchy cookie that will definitely be agreeable to most average palates but don\u2019t provide any level of satisfaction that the original Oreo have delivered for over 100 years (literally). I\u2019m not sure my Valentine\u2019s chocolate thirst will be satiated with these come February 14, so I may have to go back to dropping $30 at Godiva to show how much I truly care.<\/p>\n

\nPros:<\/b> Full choco-strawberry aroma. Not too artificial tasting. Hey, it\u2019s an Oreo.
\nCons:<\/b> Not enough genuine strawberry flavor. Not enough contrast, too much chocolate. Will not replace expensive Valentine\u2019s Day candy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
