New Red Velvet Oreo Cookies

New to me.

Maybe at this time in the animal-free food evolution the term accidentally vegan no longer aptly applies, since any company that originally was animal-free had to choose to stay that way to still contain no animal products, which is intentional and not accidental.

That being said, I’ve noted before that as a kid I didn’t like Oreo cookies for their hard exterior and anything but creamy fillings.

Now this new one comes along and Steve buys it and the outside doesn’t seem as hard, but that may be because it’s thinner – it was in no way soft, however they did dissipate in the mouth quickly, once the teeth broke through the hard. The inside was still not creamy and way too sweet if you wanted more than one as we did.

Actually we ate the whole bag between us. Because I now have dentures I had to dunk mine, which I don’t like to do, but I kept eating them anyway.

I don’t know what red velvet tastes like except vanilla, which in these cookies was more obvious than I recall in their plain Oreos. The red comes from food coloring.

Proably next time I see them I won’t buy them, only because I don’t want to be eating sweets. But on that rare occasion when I feel like I do and they’re within reach, I will indulge, even though the filling could be creamier and the shells, more cookie-like than shell-like.

Red Vanilla is what I’d call them. Velvet was not present. Red or black it wouldn’t matter. I didn’t get the cream cheese frosting, though cream cheese doesn’t have much flavor. It didn’t list animal products on the ingredient label. I’d cut the sweet in half.


Once accidentally vegan. Now intentionally animal-free.
