Strawberry Cheesecake Oreo's review !
Hey, It's been a while. I- like probably most of you- have been busy. Too busy to eat cereal? Most certainly not. Too busy to write about it? Yeah, kinda. So, what better way to return than with... biscuits?
Ok, So I know this isn't cereal , but there's nothing stopping anybody from having Oreo's for breakfast so I'm gunna let it sly. Because how amazing do these sound?!
The promise of strawberry cheesecake Oreo's sounded too good to be true. Sometimes I feel companies have the habit of sticking "cheesecake" on the end of food to make them sound better. And it works, well for me anyway. stick cheesecake on the end of anything boring and it becomes 100% more appealing.
However looking at the ingredients, there was no cheese element to be found. In some ways this was quite good as I'm pretty sure these are suitable for vegans (Don't quote me on that, might wanna fact check) , but also not good because how were they going to taste like cheesecake?
Well the short version is they don't. Here's the long version...
Opening the packet, a strong strawberry scent is present. Like , really strong. I'm not a massive fan of strawberries so this had no effect on me. I opened it up and noticed teeny tiny red specks throughout. Not sure what that has to do with anything , just wanted to show you how observant I am. Anyway, I assembled the Oreo back into its original form , feeling like some kind of biscuit surgeon, before taking my first bite.
The first taste is of the course the classically delicious dark biscuit, followed by a sweet strawberry flavour. I would say the filling tastes exactly like strawberry Nesquick, or at least how it smells. To be honest I wasn't a fan. Oh yeah and no cheesecake flavour at all! What a con. I even tried some of the creme by itself and nothing. If you like strawberry flavoured things though, I'm sure this would be a hit , so let me know what you think. While I'll be thinking about how to use up a whole pack of strawberry flavoured Oreos that don't taste like cheesecake.
Overall
Taste: 1/5
Texture: 4/5 ( I mean... it's an Oreo.)
Tea test: N/A

New: Special K Biscuit Moments, Double Choc Review!
So Kellogg's have added two new flavours to their biscuit moments range. The "Double Choc" which we have here and the very fancy sounding "Black Forest Gateau." Despite the sneakily similar packaging I have avoided picking up that version. Aint no fruit getting near my chocolate. The only exception I will make when it comes to fruit in dessert is Banoffee pie. Other than that the rule is- if it's one of your five a day then it's not pudding.
I kind of feel like these biscuits are like diet Pop Tarts. I've only had the chocolate version , which I'm pretty sure is the same thing with a plain pastry. They were okay , but I was hoping the extra chocolate would make them better.
If something looks like it could be microwaved then I will microwave it. That's another rule. Well, it's not really but it usually makes thing better. So you can probably guess that I did in fact microwave one biscuit and reserved the other for cold testing. After 15 seconds, the drizzle had melted slightly and the smell of brownie filled the air. Both promising things.
I tried the microwaved one first. Unfortunately the taste was pretty bland. Nice, but not great. The cold one was actually better I think, it was richer and had a better crunch. Maybe I nuked all the flavour out of the other one, but hey it was for science. As usual , I dipped it in a cup of tea and it made it slightly nicer but not by a great amount.
Quite underwhelming really. However I do think they're a good chocolate hit and I have the sweetest tooth ever so that's something.
Overall
Texture:3/5
Taste:2/5
Dunk Difference: 3/5
Last Comments: Don't microwave toast it's super grody. Or do because you're an independent woman but also don't because it just ruins it and then you'll have to start again.

Belvita Soft Bakes Choc Chips review!
When I hear the phrase "soft baked" I think of a warm, gooey cookie straight from the oven.I tried to get this image out of my head, as I knew they were unfair expectations to set for a breakfast biscuit!
Although I am quite fond of a Belvita, particularly the honey and nut flavour , so I was interested to see how these would taste, as they also have chocolate chips.
If I can help it, 80% of the things I eat would contain chocolate chips
Below is the shiny wrapper you get it in.Yes, you only get one! It made me realize how big the "V" is in the logo. It looks like a big tick , which is a sentence that needs to be enunciated well when being said out loud.
It defiantly looked soft baked, which is good because I don't enjoy being lied to by biscuits.Breaking a bit off further confirmed this and I took a bite. The first thing that hits you is a very oaty flavour, just like the normal oat flavoured Belvita's;then you get a chocolate chip, which is rich and dark.Just like my men.
The texture is an odd one. It is nice and soft , but has weird crispy bits inside , kinda like the ones found in a Cadbury's boost bar.
Overall
Texture-2/5
Taste-2/5
