The latest to come out of the Mondelez coop is the Hot Cocoa Oreo. I thought this was a curious move as they recently launched their Hot Cocoa Mix &#8211; maybe they\u2019re running out of ideas. <\/p>\n<p>I also thought it was odd that there was a new packaging bubble on the front stating that it\u2019s \u201cAlways Made With Real Cocoa.\u201d I don\u2019t know about you, but I\u2019ve never thought about it being\/not being made with real cocoa. It has always been in its own league &#8211; dark chocolate, milk chocolate, white chocolate, and Oreo. Oreosities (oreo + curiosities!) aside, I thought this latest flavor was a nice break from all the pumpkinundation, caramel apple, and gingerbread flavors.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Limited-Edition-Hot-Cocoa-Oreo-Cookies-2.jpg?resize=550%2C519&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Edition Hot Cocoa Oreo Cookies 2\" title=\"Limited Edition Hot Cocoa Oreo Cookies 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"519\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Lifting the flap, they looked and smelled like regular Oreo cookies. The only difference was the cr\u00e8me which was half chocolate and half regular. Of course, it\u2019s never as pretty in real life as it is on the outside packaging shot, but, whatever, when it comes to food aesthetics &#8211; I always say that it\u2019s all going to the same place (my stomach). <\/p>\n<p>I tried it in multiple ways &#8212; whole sandwich form, then layer-by-layer (cookie, regular cr\u00e8me, chocolate cr\u00e8me then cookie), then dunked in milk (per standard Oreo protocol!), and finally compared it with the Oreo Hot Cocoa Mix.<\/p>\n<p>I thought it tasted best whole because I experienced more of the hot cocoa, or what I interpreted as such because of the subtle marshmallow flavor. Like a regular Oreo, the last taste in your mouth is still the chocolate cookie, but the marshmallow was definitely there. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Limited-Edition-Hot-Cocoa-Oreo-Cookies-3.jpg?resize=482%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Edition Hot Cocoa Oreo Cookies 3\" title=\"Limited Edition Hot Cocoa Oreo Cookies 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"482\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When eaten layer-by-layer, it was like a disappointing peek behind the curtain of magic. They just replaced half of the regular cr\u00e8me with some chocolate cr\u00e8me, which I was able to peel away. But, it&#8217;s surprising to find the marshmallow flavor was actually coming from the chocolate cr\u00e8me. My least favorite combination was the cookie dunked in milk because the marshmallow flavor was completely washed out, which made it taste like a regular Oreo. <\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Limited-Edition-Hot-Cocoa-Oreo-Cookies-4.jpg?resize=550%2C393&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Edition Hot Cocoa Oreo Cookies 4\" title=\"Limited Edition Hot Cocoa Oreo Cookies 4.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"393\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Limited-Edition-Hot-Cocoa-Oreo-Cookies-5.jpg?resize=550%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Edition Hot Cocoa Oreo Cookies 5\" title=\"Limited Edition Hot Cocoa Oreo Cookies 5.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"550\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Finally, I compared it with the Oreo Hot Cocoa Mix. Depending on how you look at it, it could be a good or bad thing that they taste nothing alike. Dipping the cookie into the hot chocolate also didn\u2019t do much; it was a chocolate cookie wash. But, I thought the cookies were better than the drink. <\/p>\n<p>Even though this new flavor is very subtle, I think subtlety is an art! Plus, I don\u2019t know how else they would\u2019ve done a better job capturing hot cocoa experience &#8211; except to make something pie in the sky like a self-heating Oreo or something. These still don\u2019t dethrone my favorite limited edition flavor (Reese\u2019s), but it\u2019s still a tasty addition. <\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 2 cookies \u2013 140 calories, 60 calories from fat, 7 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 85 milligrams of sodium, 21 grams of carbohydrates, less than 1 gram of fiber, 13 grams of sugar, and less than 1 gram of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $2.99<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 10.7 oz.<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Target<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 8 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Nice break from all the pumpkinundation, caramel apple, and gingerbread products.
