\"My<\/p>\n

Remember those Looney Tunes episodes where an old lady would put a pie on a window sill, and an offscreen character would literally be lifted off the ground by the heavenly aroma and summoned to it?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s me with kettle corn.<\/p>\n

I pretty much only attend Street Fairs with one objective in mind \u2013 acquire kettle corn.<\/p>\n

I love it. It\u2019s God\u2019s perfect food. Ambrosia. The only snack I eat by the duffel bag.<\/p>\n

So, now that Nabisco has decided to dedicate one of its 436 Oreo flavors (unofficial count) to this amazing confection, you know damn well I had to try them.<\/p>\n

I wouldn\u2019t call these the most eye-popping Oreo cookies. It\u2019s a Golden Oreo with off-white kettle corn flavored cream sprinkled with little tan morsels of millet \u2013 beige and boring, but in fairness, true to popcorn.<\/p>\n

Again, kettle corn stands have a distinct aroma that I can pinpoint within a two-block radius. These cookies attempted to get there, but I got more of a pancake\/waffle vibe from the smell. That\u2019s cool though. Who doesn\u2019t love the smell of pancakes?<\/p>\n

The first step to eating any Oreo is to remove the top wafer and scrape out half the cr\u00e8me with your teeth. We all eat em that way, right? Not like the weirdos in the commercials who open it, lick it once then inexplicably put it back together?<\/p>\n

\"My<\/p>\n

The cr\u00e8me tastes buttery at first, but there is an underlying sweetness. I wouldn\u2019t necessarily say they hit on the \u201csalty\u201d aspect of kettle corn, but that\u2019s probably a good thing. I couldn\u2019t shake the pancake thoughts while eating these. I never tried the <\/a>waffle-flavored Oreo but could\u2019ve been convinced these were them if blindfolded, because of the butter. The sweetness bordered on maple, also.<\/p>\n

If I had one word to describe the kettle corn flavor, I\u2019d say \u201cinconsistent.\u201d Every few bites I\u2019d get a brief but perfect combo of cookie, cr\u00e8me, and millet that had a texture similar to kettle corn, and also that burnt sugary amazing flavor only a kettle could create.<\/p>\n

\"My<\/p>\n

I won\u2019t lie, I wasn\u2019t 100 percent positive what millet even was. I\u2019ve never had straight millet cereal, but the little puffed additions were a smart decision. They\u2019re not quite Rice Krispies, but the spongey, stale texture mimicked popcorn nicely. Oreo adding little pieces to the cr\u00e8me is a trend that I hope continues.<\/p>\n

These are pretty tough to nail down. I like ’em, but I don\u2019t know if they met the expectations of the flavor, although I was able to convince myself the aftertaste was \u201cpopcorny.\u201d<\/p>\n

To wrap it up, I\u2019m going with this as my description – buttery pancakes, with a hint of syrupy sweetness, that tastes like weak kettle corn but only when you get that perfect bite. That make sense? <\/p>\n

\"My<\/p>\n

Try ’em out, then vote for your favorite #MyOreoCreation. I still need to try the other two before I submit mine, but something tells me these won\u2019t prevail over Cherry Cola or Pina Colada.<\/p>\n

\nPros:<\/b> It\u2019s kettle corn, kinda. If not, it still tastes and smells like freezer brand pancakes. Definitely goes well with the Golden Oreo. Adding the millet pieces was a great idea. No kernels!
\nCons:<\/b> Didn\u2019t quite nail all the aspects of kettle corn. Millet pieces might be a tad spongy and stale for some. There are so many Oreo flavors I probably haven\u2019t had a standard Oreo in three years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
