Here’s another one of my food quests/cravings.
As you may know, there are different species of Oreos. Cool Mint, double stuff, Halloween orange special, peppermint special, etc.
So I wanted to try the peanut butter creme Oreo. I wasn’t expecting it to be GREAT or AMAZING or anything like that. I was just expecting it to taste good, interesting, and innovative. But it fell short in my expectations.
First, peanut butter has a very oily consistency. Thus, the cookie part of the Oreo was soaked in oil/it absorbed the oil from the peanut butter. That wasn’t attractive.
Second, with Oreos, you kind of expect the filling part to be lickable. Peanut butter: not lickable. But do you know what I mean by lickable? It’s simple. It’s that feeling when you take the Oreo apart and lick the cream side. Peanut butter is not lickable. Nabisco would have to add a lot of special chemicals that they usually use in the original filling to turn that peanut butter into a lickable feeling.
Last but not least, chocolate and peanut butter just don’t work. Just cause chocolate and peanut butter compliment each other in ice cream doesn’t mean they do in cookies, especially Oreos.
