While I found that one a bit underwhelming, I know some folks loved it, and since I\u2019m way more of a chocolate boy when it comes to ice cream, I\u2019m vibin\u2019 on the idea of Nabisco saving the best for last.<\/p>\n<p>Rocky Road Trip Oreo is a cookie with marshmallow bits, rocky road-flavored cr\u00e8me, and, in an attempt to not only stay vegan but also nut free, the very clunky \u201csoy nut inclusions.\u201d I\u2019ve never had a soy nut before, but if there\u2019s a surefire easy way to get me to try something new it\u2019s toss that oddity in an 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\/2018\/07\/Limited-Edition-Rocky-Road-Trip-Oreo-Cookies-2.jpg?resize=450%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Edition Rocky Road Trip Oreo Cookies 2\" title=\"Limited Edition Rocky Road Trip Oreo Cookies 2.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Good news cookie travelers, this road trip isn\u2019t all that rocky. The cookies are splattered sporadically with white marshmallow bits that give a nice chompy chew and immediate textural difference from the usual wafer.<\/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\/2018\/07\/Limited-Edition-Rocky-Road-Trip-Oreo-Cookies-3.jpg?resize=450%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Edition Rocky Road Trip Oreo Cookies 3\" title=\"Limited Edition Rocky Road Trip Oreo Cookies 3.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The cr\u00e8me is incredibly dark, gooey, and rich in a way that reminds me a lot of 2015\u2019s Brownie Batter Oreo but with an extra marshmallow kick. A genuine vanilla-leaning sweet marshmallow flavor comes through convincingly with the melty chocolate. Although it\u2019s not nearly as stiff, I get a little bit of that freeze-dried crunch to go along with \u2018mallow taste.<\/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\/2018\/07\/Limited-Edition-Rocky-Road-Trip-Oreo-Cookies-4.jpg?resize=599%2C523&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Edition Rocky Road Trip Oreo Cookies 4\" title=\"Limited Edition Rocky Road Trip Oreo Cookies 4.jpg\" border=\"0\" width=\"599\" height=\"523\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The only minor speedbump is the lack of nutty flavor. The soy nut inclusions within the cr\u00e8me do a great job of giving the chomp nuts would provide in a luscious scoop of rocky road, but I miss the fatty almond that finishes the rocky trinity that I truly desire. I understand why Nabisco chose to leave them out \u2013 no risk of allergy, lower in fat, and more cost-effective, but a touch of nuttiness would have gone a long way in making this cookie road trip closer to perfect.<\/p>\n<p>Much less important, but also worth noting, is that the design of the package is excellent. A couple of cars traversing over a massive mount of rocky road sets the tone for an enjoyable snack, and between this and Ben &#038; Jerry\u2019s excellent Glampfire Trailmix, it feels like the once stale rocky road profile is making a whimsical comeback.<\/p>\n<p><small>(Nutrition Facts &#8211; 2 cookies \u2013 140 calories, 6 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 90 milligrams of sodium, 20 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of fiber, 13 grams of sugar, and 1 gram of protein.)<\/small><\/p>\n<p><b>Purchased Price:<\/b> $2.99<br \/>\n<b>Size:<\/b> 10.7 oz. package<br \/>\n<b>Purchased at:<\/b> Safeway<br \/>\n<b>Rating:<\/b> 9 out of 10<br \/>\n<b>Pros:<\/b> Great chocolate marshmallow flavor.
