Breyers BLASTS! Golden Oreo FDD Review

[New for 2012] There are a ton of great looking new products out this year, but I think one that seems to catch everyone's eye is the new Breyer's BLASTS! Golden Oreo frozen dairy dessert. I adore cookies and cream, it's one of my favorite flavors and it's usually hard to mess up. That said, besides mint cookies & cream, there aren't a lot of crazy variations on this tried and true flavor.

Hey, even I'm pretty excited about this one despite it being a frozen dairy dessert. It's Golden Oreo Cookie Pieces and swirls of Golden Vanilla and Sweet Cream flavored frozen dairy dessert. The bright yellow packaging makes me fear that this one will be too sweet, and yet I feel I need to try this one right now!

Well, that's pretty encouraging. We've got big Oreo cookie pieces all over the place, though I don't detect any small pieces scattered throughout. The bright white sweet cream swirls add a nice visual pop to the whole thing. It's kind of like the Oreo filling is scattered about (how cool would it be if it was filling? ahh, you're right, that would be sugar overload).

I dig in and it's... well, it's something. It's definitely a soft dairy dessert, but not sure how the flavor is hitting me. Honest first impression? I don't know if I like it. It's striking me as an overly (almost fake) sweet flavor with an overtly soft texture that lacks enough cookie grit.

On Second Scoop: So I head back with lowered expectations and the plan is to try to eat this treat alot slower. I want to really take my time and find that golden Oreo vibe that I'm looking for. While I adore original Oreos like the rest of you, I've always had a soft spot for vanilla sandwich cream cookies, so I really want to enjoy this flavor.

I start off by aiming for the cookie pieces. Sometimes you need to get that cookie grit going so your mindset is in the right place. It seems to be helping and I'm focusing on letting the wafer flavor come through. Ok, it's growing on me. I still don't think there is that all encompassing cookie wafer flavor that you get in a top notch C&C product, but this ain't bad. It's different and I see alot of people giving this one a try. I just think it could be better.

Verdict?  It's not bad and the fat content is pretty low.
Buy Again?  I'll stick with the original CnC
