The three essential steps to enjoying Keebler\u2019s new Lemon Cream Pie Fudge Stripes:<\/p>\n
See what I did there? I opened this review with a deviously BuzzFeedian listicle that practically begs you to read the whole thing for comprehension.<\/p>\n
Though I\u2019m sure you were going to read anyway, because this latest elven attack in the Great Oreo\u2013Fudge Stripe War is a doozy. Sure, Oreo has been churning out countless milk-dunked slam dunks, and Ernie the Keebler Elf probably doesn\u2019t even know what a slam dunk is. But that hasn\u2019t stopped him from firing back with new disc-shaped Fudge Stripes faster than a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle toy fires plastic pizzas.<\/p>\n
Case in point: these new Lemon Cream Pie Fudge Stripes. Coming hot off the heels of <\/a>Cinnamon Roll Fudge Stripes and just before Keebler\u2019s upcoming <\/a>Strawberry Cheesecake Fudge Stripes, Lemon Cream Pie hopes to beat over milk\u2019s favorite cookie aisle behemoth with odd specificity. See, Oreo has had Lemon and Lemon Twist varieties, but it\u2019s never put its money where its pie-hole is.<\/p>\n But enough talk: let\u2019s put some Fudge Stripes where my<\/em> pie hole is.<\/p>\n In my eagerness, I totally guillotined poor Ernie getting my Fudge Stripes open. This ultimately worked against me, as I now have no way of storing my rapidly staling cookies. Good thing I could eat the whole package in a sitting, because these are seriously good. <\/p>\n The delightful shortbread base may look like cross-sectioned lasagna noodles, but it tastes like the brown butter-smacked lovechild of a Nilla Wafer and a Barnum\u2019s Animal Cracker. And given that the real Barnum\u2019s circus just closed down, those crackers need<\/em> to procreate if we want to preserve their nostalgic legacy. <\/p>\n All school lunch classics aside, these Fudges Stripes\u2019 airy crumble, cozy lattice print, and pleasant twist of oily sweetened flour remind me of every cookie I ever bought from a church bake sale. And I\u2019ll say \u201camen\u201d to that.<\/p>\n As for the lemon, it\u2019s far more subtly sweet than sinisterly citrusy. Meanwhile, the pristinely white dip and drizzle has all the hyper-sugared, slightly fatty vanilla sweetness of half-and-half mixed with marshmallow fluff. Taken together, the whole cookie tastes a lot like the Turkish Delights my 3rd grade teacher made while we read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe<\/em>, which is fitting, because I\u2019d happily betray Narnia for these Fudge Stripes, just like Edmund.<\/p>\n Though perhaps \u201cYellow Starburst smothered in whipped cream\u201d is a more fitting analogy, because your love of Yellow Starburst will be a good litmus test to determine if you\u2019ll enjoy Lemon Cream Pie Fudge Stripes. Yellow is tied for my favorite alongside Pink, so I loved these cookies. But since I\u2019ve been fiendishly mocked and pelted with hard candy morsels since childhood for this opinion, I know there are many Red Starburst diehards out there who will sour on these Stripes. <\/p>\n Ignoring the haters, I think these Fudge Stripes have more than earned their stripes. They\u2019re light, accurate to their namesake pie, and have a crispy-creamy combo that\u2019s irresistibly snack-able. They\u2019re not memorable enough to topple any Oreo Empires, but I can\u2019t think of a Fudge Stripe that could.<\/p>\n Can\u2019t the two sides just sign a peace treaty and produce Oreo cookies with Fudge Stripes instead of wafers?<\/p>\n (Nutrition Facts – 2 cookies \u2013 140 calories, 6 grams of fat, 4 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 70 milligrams of sodium, 19 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 9 grams of sugar, and less than 1 gram of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n Purchased Price:<\/b> $2.99 The three essential steps to enjoying Keebler\u2019s new Lemon Cream Pie Fudge Stripes: Do not decapitate any woodland humanoids.
