Red Velvet Oreos: A Yearlong Valentine

History:
The Red Velvet Oreo was introduced in February 2015 to coincide with Valentine's Day. It is a wholly unique Oreo cookie, utilizing a 'red velvet chocolate' cookie with creme-cheese icing, neither of which have been used in other Oreo variants. It was made a permanent addition to the Oreo family in 2016. As such, one could say that it is to the Oreo family as Valentine's Day is to yearly holidays: something some people enjoy, but nobody's favorite.

The Red Velvet Oreo

Cookie: To my discerning buds, the Red Velvet cookie tasted only slightly different than the classic chocolate cookie. It does have a hint of 'red velvet' flavor, but nothing to write home about.

Creme: The special 'creme cheese' flavoring of the Red Velvet stuf is creamier in texture than traditional Oreo stuf. To its credit it does taste a bit like creme cheese icing. Like all Oreo Variants, there is 1.5x stuf in the Red Velvet Oreo. This allows for the creme cheese flavor to express itself.  One of Oreo's better variant icings. 

Milk Test: Milk did not significantly alter the enjoyability of the Red Velvet Oreo. However, one could see a dollop of whipped creme doing wonders for the cookie.

Goregability: A little too unique in flavor to gorge. It would make a decent desert, but I can't imagine mindlessly eating an entire package of them while watching Netflix. 

Conclusion:
3 out of 5.
