Happy New Year - Hot Cocoa Oreo Review and DAILY REVIEWS ARE BACK! (For Real This Time)

Hot Cocoa Oreos - Target $3.99

Happy New Year everyone! 

A lot happened in 2017: I got a new job, bought my first house, my boyfriend, his daughter, and I moved in together, we got a chinchilla, and I de-mosquitoed our above-ground swimming pool. (There is hilarious footage of me with trash bags duct taped to my legs, wading into the water to drain it.) One thing that didn't happen....was blogging. 

2017 was my worst blogging-year to-date and I'm disappointed that I wasn't able to keep up with it, but there's no better time to get my blogging-butt in gear than today. My goal for 2018 is to get back into daily blogging, and to jump-start that goal I have several reviews scheduled for this week! (Hooray for planning ahead!)  

It's official! Daily reviews are back starting today, and there's no better way to start than with a food-blogging staple, "new" Oreos! (I put "new" in quotes because, like always, I'm late to the party, but they're still new, so it counts.)

Fruit Crispy Oreo's (& Milk test!) - Youtube Video Review

What's this? I'm filming more videos? And in different outfits? Insanity!

I filmed my first impressions of the newFruit Crispy Oreos before I did my official write-up, but something I did in my video that's NOT in my review is milk-dunk and taste test! I like that I've been doing videos more frequently, hopefully you guys like it too.

Fruity Crisp Oreos - Wegman's

Fruity Crisp Oreos - Wegman's

Yesterday, on my way home from work, I stopped by my local Wegman's to see if these new Oreos were on the shelves yet...but no such luck. Not only did they not have the new Oreos, but they also didn't even have power! (FYI: Shopping in the dark was not as zombie-apocalypse-like as I thought it would be.)

We don't have very many Wegman's locations here in South Jersey, but from the press releases it looks like they're the only grocery chain in my area that will be carrying this special limited edition cookie. Not to be discouraged, I drove to the only other Wegman's in the area (which I affectionately call "the rich people Wegman's") that's way out near horse farms and giant fancy houses. It was a bit of a drive, and there was plenty of traffic, but the trip was a SUCCESS!

They're here! They're in my hands, and they're everything I had hoped they'd be!

Strawberry Shortcake Oreos - Walmart

Strawberry Shortcake Oreos - Walmart

Another month, another new Oreo. Between these, Peeps and all the new m&m's...I'm getting pretty overwhelmed! It seems like the second I buy a new flavor of one, three others pop up in it's place. My stomach just can't keep up with it all! Heck, I still have a pack of the limited edition chocolate lemon Oreos somewhere in my avalanche-worthy food horde...I think? They're somewhere around here. I should probably find those and review them soon...

I'll get to those eventually. For now, let's find out if these Strawberry Shortcake Oreos are just strawberry flavored, or actually shortcake-like.
