Earlier this year, we saw the releases of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2021\/01\/04\/limited-edition-brookie-o-oreo-cookies-review\/\">Brookie-O<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2021\/01\/12\/java-chip-oreo-and-chocolate-hazelnut-oreo-2021-cookies-review\/\">Chocolate Hazelnut, and Java Chip Oreo<\/a>, and when the news of Limited Edition Salted Caramel Brownie Oreos broke earlier this month, another chocolate offering from the brand still felt like a welcome surprise.<\/p>\n<p>Although Oreo is no stranger to caramel and brownie flavors (see: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2017\/06\/15\/review-salted-caramel-oreo-thins\/\">Salted Caramel Oreo Thins<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theimpulsivebuy.com\/wordpress\/2015\/08\/07\/review-limited-edition-brownie-batter-oreo-cookies\/\">Brownie Batter Oreo<\/a>, and the aforementioned Brookie-O variety), this is Oreo&#8217;s first attempt at a salt-dusted chocolate wafer cookie. Two kinds of creme (brownie and caramel-flavored layers) complete the sandwich.<\/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\/2021\/07\/saltedbroworeo2.jpeg?resize=600%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Edition Salted Caramel Brownie Oreo Cookies Salt\" title=\"saltedbroworeo2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mere days after the product announcement spread over social media, Limited Edition Salted Caramel Brownie Oreo Cookies graced my shopping cart. Why was I thrilled to give these a try?<\/p>\n<p>A. Despite accusations of overstaying its welcome as a fad flavor, salted caramel remains among my favorites.<\/p>\n<p>B. I enjoyed the Brookie-Os and need some brownie creme back in my life.<\/p>\n<p>C. The promise of a new Oreo flavor hitting store shelves periodically halts my desire to escape society and live in the woods as an urban legend slash bog witch.<\/p>\n<p>D. I&#8217;ll take any possible opportunity to reinforce that &#8220;caramel&#8221; has three syllables.<\/p>\n<p>E. All of the above<\/p>\n<p>(If you guessed E, you are correct. Have an Oreo!)<\/p>\n<p>With these reasons in mind, the Salted Caramel Brownie Oreo mostly satisfies.<\/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\/2021\/07\/saltedbroworeo3.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Edition Salted Caramel Brownie Oreo Cookies Layers\" title=\"saltedbroworeo3.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>First, adding salt to the outside of the cookie is truly an inspired choice. Biting into the sandwich yields a pleasant experience, much like eating a sea salt caramel or any other salt-topped sweet: a strong saltiness hits the mouth first, but quickly melts into and enhances the sweetness of the other 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\/2021\/07\/saltedbroworeo4.jpeg?resize=600%2C450&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Edition Salted Caramel Brownie Oreo Cookies Brownie Side\" title=\"saltedbroworeo4.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the Oreo&#8217;s caramel creme layer needs more help than the salt can give. Besides a delicate brown sugar vibe, it doesn&#8217;t offer a ton of flavor. A hint of browned butter flavor would have gone a long way to recreate the taste of salt&#8217;s tri-syllabic life partner. Swapping the caramel creme entirely for a dot of sticky caramel sauce would have been an interesting choice too. (Maybe two novelties \u2014 real caramel and a salted cookie \u2014 would have been too much excitement for one launch?)<\/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\/2021\/07\/saltedbroworeo5.jpeg?resize=450%2C600&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Limited Edition Salted Caramel Brownie Oreo Cookies Caramel Side\" title=\"saltedbroworeo5.jpeg\" border=\"0\" width=\"450\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Happily, each Double Stuf-size cookie contains proportionally more brownie creme. It definitely overshadows the caramel layer \u2014 but that&#8217;s for the best. The brownie creme is rich and fudgy, just like the batter I make sure to salvage from the bottom of my mixing bowl, and works well with the salt.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, these Limited Edition Salted Caramel Brownies feature a successful salty hit, but it is hard to overlook the imperfect caramel creme. If you purchase them, take a bite of the entire sandwich for a sweet-and-salty chocolate experience that includes \u2014 if you pay attention \u2014 a whisper of caramel. If you insist on twisting open your Oreo cookies to indulge in the creme first, you might become salty yourself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Purchased Price:<\/strong> $3.79<br \/>\n<strong>Size:<\/strong> 12.2 oz (345 g) package<br \/>\n<strong>Purchased at:<\/strong> Wegmans<br \/>\n<strong>Rating:<\/strong> 7 out of 10<br \/>\n<strong>Nutrition Facts:<\/strong> (per 2 cookies) 140 calories, 6 grams of fat, 2 grams of saturated fat, 0 grams of trans fat, 0 milligrams of cholesterol, 150 milligrams of sodium, 20 grams of carbohydrates, less than 1 gram of fiber, 13 grams of sugar, and 1 gram of protein.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Someone at Oreo has a weakness for chocolate, and we are reaping the benefits.
