Oreo Klondike Bar


The next treat has been on my radar for a very long time for the simple fact that I'm not sure I've ever tried it. So I waited until a good sale hit (2 for $6) and grabbed a pack.

Oreo Cookies & Cream Klondike Bar

Whoa, do you see it?

That's right, Oreo crumbs in the chocolate shell! Very nice touch.

A take a bite and this is such a strange creature, it's not quite Oreo, but not quite Klondike, at least in terms of taste anyway. I think it's related to the Oreo crumbs in the shell. I wasn't sure if I would fall instantly in love with it (which I didn't), but it's not like I hate it either. It's just... iunno, it's curious how the two flavors come together. Maybe the Oreo would be more dominant if the Klondike wasn't so thin! Plus, there is a strange lingering aftertaste here, a bizarre funky cookies & cream vibe that doesn't seem natural. Yeah, I'm being picky, but hey, I'm a C&C fanatic.

On Second Scoop:  So I had a second bar a few days later, and then this morning I had a third bar and I think I finally have this one figured out. See, I tried eating it real slow to see if the Oreo flavor would come alive. Technically it did, but not in a good way. See, instead of getting a nice Oreo wafer vibe, it's much more of a unpleasant artificial cookie flavoring that kind of reminds me of that nasty C&C milksplash junk I tried. These just aren't good.

Verdict?  Fail
Buy Again?  No chance

  1. How do you eat your Klondike bars? I like to separate the shell from the ice cream and the ice cream separately from the shell. I was hoping you would have snapped a photo of the inner filling to reveal if the inside is a true cookies and cream ice cream.

  2. whoops! I knew I forgot a picture, I will snap one tonight. It is indeed a C&C filling. For me the shell is (should be) the best part of the klondike so I eat it as a whole to elevate the whole treat.
