Coconut Delight

The May first blast of Wintry air pierced through the souls of Utah residents yesterday. Some were ever so fortunate to wake up, nearly a month and a half after the first day of Spring, to a nice blanket of fresh snow. Or, if you are a dweller of Emery County, you have enjoyed a weeks worth of door slamming, hair blowing, dust devil, garden killer wind! To get right to the point here, it has been cold! So as I walked down the bread , cracker and cookie aisle at Stewarts, I heard in the back of my mind, a tiny ukulele playing a far off island tune as I reached for a package of Oreos. Why the island music? Because there on the ocean blue package were the words "Coconut Delight Oreo Fudge Cremes". . . I knew they belonged to me!

And now for my product review:

The package alone is enough to inspire one to tie on their brightest and most authentic lava lava and belly dance through the kitchen! With the painted on palm leaves cascading down the left side of the cookie wrapper leading your eyes to rest upon what appears to be a freshly split coconut, how could you not let your mind wander to a more tropical climate? 

The package was a little difficult to open and I had a slight ripping and tearing situation that left the resealable flap with a gaping hole. 

The cookies themselves are like little tropical discs dipped in rippling fudge. They are not as thick as a regular Oreo, which is nice because they are a little rich in flavor! 

The coconut is not overwhelming, it's perfectly mixed with the fudge. 

Overall, I would sit down and eat the entire tray if I knew it wouldn't send me into a sugar coma. My mom even said that she liked them as much as a Girl Scout ThinMint. WHAT?! 

So if you are a coconut eater like myself, and are looking to melt the ice from around your Winter suffocated heart but don't want to try twirling flaming batons around your dry grass skirt like a true islander would, then you might consider a bite or two of the Coconut Delight Oreo Fudge Creme Cookie.
