Product Review: Glutino Chocolate Vanilla Creme Cookies

[runpunkrun]

Chocolate Vanilla Creme Cookies is a really awkward and trademark-free way to say "like an Oreo" while also leaving out the "sandwich" part: Two extremely crisp chocolate cookies with a bit of vanilla creme squished between them until it oozes out the cookie holes on the top and bottom. The chocolate cookies are on point, if like weirdly crispy, but the vanilla creme is unexpectedly soft—not in a bad way—but it also has a very distinct flavor I can only describe as "Easter candy question mark." Does it taste like a Peep? Or a jelly bean somehow? It's fine! It probably just tastes like marshmallow, which sets these apart from what I remember of Oreos, but, depending on who you are, that might be a selling point.

20 cookies, all in a single sleeve, but they didn't get stale while I was eating them over the course of two weeks. I'd buy these again.

They look great! Not quite like the ones I tried when I was in Canada a year or two ago -- which I think turned out to have oats in them, so I had to stop eating them.

[runpunkrun]

I remember you posting about that! I think those were the actual GF Oreos, which do contain oats, and which I haven't tried because they contain "soybean and/or canola oil."

Ah. For those in the narrow 'gluten free' category, as opposed to those of us whose bodies hate many things.

[runpunkrun]

That's us. Those weirdos who want to know what they're eating.

Not only do you provide

"actionable information," you always make me laugh as you review these things. Thanks!

[runpunkrun]

Aw, thanks, bud. I love to provide a laugh. :D

names and names...

Well, you could refer to them 'like Hydrox' since that's the original!! I remember eating Hydrox as a child in the 60's.

I had no idea they came first! I think I only had Hydrox once and decided I liked Oreos better, but I can't remember why.
