Well, to offset the disgusting flavour of the Hershey Bars, I also got some
Oreo Cookies/biscuits.

I actually don't mind them. Light, not overly sweet, and the white cream
inside isn't overpowering.

Haven't dipped any in milk as yet, but might give it a whirl sometime.

I bought 5 boxes, with two stay-fresh-packs per box..... and gave one of
SFP's out to each of the people yesterday, along with the Hershey bars.

Not yet.

I don't even do that to our cream biscuits, so I'll have to make a special
effort :-)
To me, it's akin to getting a sandwich and pulling it apart to eat it.


Is it supposed to enhance the flavour?

Been there, done that.... bored.

Now that I can't bite the corners off and use it as a 'straw' to suck up
some Rutherglen Muscat, Tim Tams are virtually useless to me!! ;-)

You probably don't want to think too hard about the "white cream" inside.

For some, it enhances the fun. Because the filling has a different
flavor, some enjoy scraping it with their teeth first. Then you have
the richer cookie to eat plain or dunk in milk.

Personally, I preferred the Sunshine Hydrox, which Nabisco bought out
and shut down, but now occasionally releases as a special short run
product.

I have been known to crack some on ice cream, vanilla.
I got the urge to guy some fig newtons today.

You can always buy some chocolate wafers, and frosting, and make your own.

You could control the ratio of frosting to cookie.

I was probably the only kid who would open Oreos, scrape off the
frosting and eat only the chocolate cookies... one of the piggy girls
would beg for my white stuff.

It depends on the type of Oreo for me.

There's so many varieties of oreos, and they've changed over the years.

I only know the original. I don't encounter oreos often (mostly in
crossword puzzles), they are not one of my favorites. I like
chocolate snaps better but mostly I prefer ginger snaps, fig newtons,
and of course mallowmars. I'm not big on cookies, at least not
packaged cookies. If I had to choose a favorite it would be those
sesame seed cookies from a good Italian bakery.

Those sesame seed cookies have a lot of flavor.

My grandmother loved pine nuts. My mother likes anise.

middle.

I used to like the Halloween Oreos. The Halloween Oreos had more cream than
the regular Oreos, but less cream than the Double Stuff. But the quality has
since gone downhill.
