Ok I’ll admit this is certainly NOT one of the healthiest items on the snacking list. Heck, with all those un-pronouncable things in it, you could probably consider it one of those glowing neon "non-foods” TV health experts are warning us away from. Why feature it? Because it’s yummy. And that’s what really matters to me. Besides, I’m not advocating you eat the whole 6 packs in one sitting…like I almost did J
Seriously though, it’s one good 100 calorie sugar bomb. Spherical “bites” of oreo cookie are covered in a sweet, white frosting and then shellacked in either white or dark brown candy coating similar to Smarties or M&M’s. It’s exactly what you would get if you were to take an Oreo cookie, make it round and turn it inside out. There was even a faint Oreo sweet smell. The cookie bit becomes the filling and vice versa. It tasted exactly like the original, loads better than the flimsy “crisps” version. The cookie part doesn’t dissolve on contact with your tongue and the coating is just as saccharine as an Oreo filling. Together, they work perfectly. Just like its famous parent. And just like you would an Oreo, I’d suggest a glass of milk or water to wash it all down because, make no doubt about it, this is one sweet treat.
I didn’t count but there where probably twenty or so of these to a packet. Believe me, that’s enough to satisfy the craziest sweet tooth. Like I stated before, I wouldn’t recommend these on a regular basis, because who are we trying to kid? These aren’t exactly health food. However, as an occasional snack, these definitely curbed the snacking urges in me—for awhile.

Pros: Super sugary and satisfying, 100 calories, comparable to original cookie
Cons: Not much nutritional value, junk food, hydrogenated oils

Score: 8/10 (An Occasional Snack)
