Oreo Barista Battle: Tiramisu vs. Latte

Tiramisu and Latte Oreos  - Shop Rite / Target

Lady fingers, espresso, marscarpone, and cocoa powder. What's not to love? Tiramisu is one of my absolutely favorite desserts, so I was very glad to see Oreo's newest limited edition flavor, but then it got me thinking...didn't we have something like this already? 

There was a Tiramisu themed Oreo Thin released in Korea, (which I did try ages ago and never blogged about.) And here in America, Oreo released a Dunkin' Donuts themed mocha flavored cookie not too long ago as well. Both were successful flavors, but didn't make it to the permanent flavor line-up. I could have sworn there was a generic coffee flavored Oreo offered year round, but Google couldn't find anything like that. Maybe it's one of those time-traveling phenomenon things, like the "Berenstain bears." (I SWEAR it was STEIN when I was a kid.) 

Anyway, Oreo was releasing two espresso themed flavors at once here in the states, the limited edition Tiramisu, and the permanent Latte Oreo Thin, and wanted to see how they compared to one another and if the Tiramisu was any different from Dunkin's Mocha. Let the coffee cookie competition commence!    

Cookies & Cream Flavored Comedy

Cookies & Cream Flip Chobani Yogurt  - Aldi

Do you know who Christopher Titus is? (You're reading a random Jersey girl's food blog so I'm guessing you probably don't, but hear me out for a second, we'll get to the yogurt.) He's an American comedian, actor, writer, and podcast host. 

One night, when I was in middle school, I happened to catch Titus' first big comedy special, Norman Rockwell is Bleeding, and I absolutely fell in love with the way he used comedy to cope with traumatic life experiences.

Eventually, someone at Fox approached him to do a TV show based on that special. The result? Titus. A dark, yet relatable, television program that lasted a mere three seasons. You know how some people LOVE The Office? That's how I feel about this show. I own it on DVD and have watched it several times all the way through with and without commentary! The DVD box sets are incredibly hard to come by, but as of today all three seasons were released by Christopher Titus himself on YouTube for FREE. 

I thought I would share this little gem because the world is pretty much on fire right now and, "once you've driven your drunk father to your mom's parole hearing, what else is there?" 

Anyway, Titus and Jim Henson's Dinosaurs pretty much made me who I am today, and I wanted to share the series. Now, let's eat some yogurt!
