The custom orders at Starbucks these days are getting out of control…
Might as well just order a Venti cup of Oreos.
Nabisco Mocha Caramel Latte Oreos
I’ll be the first to admit that Nabisco’s newest limited edition Oreo doesn’t feel that new. We’ve had plenty of coffee-flavored Oreos before, but Mocha Caramel Latte Oreos are the first to offer two different cremes. One of them is mocha latte flavored; the other caramel.
That said, there’s no matcha unicorn cold foam or triple-pump of cotton candy syrup to make this an especially inspiring coffee flavor.
And there’s honestly not much else to say without beating a dead horse:
- They taste like coffee.
- They taste like all the other coffee Oreos you’ve had.
- You’re probably going to like them.
- You’re probably not going to care about them when they’re gone.
I tried hard to separate the flavors from the two cremes separately but I failed miserably. If I concentrate hard, I think the caramel flavor adds a tiny bit of something but it’s mostly overpowered by the general flavor of pure coffee. The “mocha” part of the creme is also impossible to catch when you eat it with the chocolate wafer, because a mocha is just coffee and chocolate anyway.
Do I think they taste good? Of course I do.
But a year ago when the Java Chip Oreos came out, I said that they tasted too similar to all the coffee Oreo flavors before them. The problem with an “everyday” flavor like coffee is that if you keep doing the same thing over and over, it loses some of its luster each time. Why am I supposed to care about a limited edition Mocha Caramel Latte Oreo when I can still buy the Java Chip Oreos year-round?
In summary, I really don’t care that these exist.
Burning Questions:
- What’s next? Cold Brew Oreos.
- And after that? Hot Brew Oreos.
- And then? Coffee Oreos.
