Over the previous few years, it looks like there was a big enhance within the number of limited-time Reese’s Cup variations and gimmicks. Many of those have been dangerous. However the latest crossover that includes Oreo cookies is the primary time I’ve tried one among these oddball concoctions and loved it. However solely when RNG was on my aspect.
Released this month, the new Reese’s Oreo cup isn’t merely a Reese’s cup with some Oreo bits shoved inside. Nicely, okay, positive, it’s principally that, however the Reese’s cup itself is half milk chocolate and half white chocolate. As somebody who’s a giant fan of the white chocolate Reese’s Cup, I used to be very completely happy about this selection. It additionally is smart because the Oreo cookie bits, in idea a minimum of, ought to mix with the white chocolate to create one thing comparable in style to an precise Oreo cookie.
After which you’ve gotten the traditional Reese’s peanut butter filling, which is ok by me as I really like that stuff greater than actual peanut butter. So does this all come collectively right into a profitable creation? Nicely, the reply already, I stated it within the first paragraph. However sure, it’s fairly dang good!
The cookie bits add a pleasant and crunchy texture to every cup, and the darker, extra bitter taste of the Oreo cookie cuts by way of the peanut butter, so that they complement one another in a approach that numerous different gimmicky flavors have been missing. However that Oreo-ness additionally doesn’t overpower all the cup, one thing that may additionally occur. ( you, fudge-filled Reese’s Cups.) As an alternative, the cookie bits and the remainder of the cup mix collectively completely. The white chocolate prime of the cup additionally helps add a little bit of sweetness and creaminess to the sweet, which does form of recreate the style of an Oreo that has been dipped in peanut butter. I’d understand how that tastes, as I’ve achieved that many occasions earlier than.
There’s an asterisk, although, subsequent to my “Pretty Dang Good!” appraisal of the brand new Oreo Reese’s abomination. All of it relies on how a lot Oreo is in your Reese’s Cups. I purchased 4 of the King Dimension model and three of them had numerous cookie bits and had been incredible. However one had barely any contained in the peanut butter, so that you had been left with a cup that was simply half white chocolate and half milk chocolate. Not a horrible destiny, however disappointing should you had been anticipating some Oreo goodness.
For these of you on the market who miss the Crunchy Cookie Reese’s Cup from the ’90s, this may be your finest wager for re-experiencing that fan-favorite taste that’s not bought by Reese’s. From my reminiscence, it’s not fairly the identical factor, however it’s awfully shut. And within the absence of Reese’s bringing it again, it will do exactly effective for all of you eager for the candy return of the Crunchy Cookie cup.
One final word: For those who do purchase a few of these, stick ’em within the fridge. The one I caught within the fridge and tasted a couple of hours later was even higher. I imply, Reese’s Cups on the whole are higher chilly, however these specifically style fantastic. The chilly stiffens up the chocolate extra and provides much more crunch. It’s good. I can’t purchase any extra or I’ll eat all of them.
