Oreo + Star Wars = Great Fun!

Oreo cookies are a great snack. And now, they are teaming up with Star Wars as they release their limited edition cookie packs. You don't know if you will get the Light or Dark side until you open them! I was sent this amazing party pack in exchange for hosting a party. We had so much fun and I was so happy to be able to share all this with some of our amazing church family!

One thing I love about these cookie packs are the designs on them. We were Jedi this go around! So blue filling around the edges. Faces of our beloved characters adorned each cookie. If you had gotten the Dark Side cookies, they would be rimmed with red and have some of the 'bad guy' faces. Same great taste we know from Oreo though.

I was so happy about the party pack too. I grabbed other flavors we love and set up quite the fun atmosphere for my guests. My daughter even helped by making her own Star Wars decorations. Fans of the series or not, we loved chatting while chowing down. I even made one of the recipes that were included in the pack - Lemon Cookie Balls. 

Another thing you should know - Dollar General has the cookies you are looking for. Well, most of the time. Some of the stores around my area only had about 3 flavors available and none were the Star Wars ones. But I do know you can find them at Walmart too! 

Until next time!

What is Your Favorite Oreo Flavor??

I'm working with Oreo and Dollar General to bring you some fun times and yes, some cookie flavors we tried out!

*Disclaimer: I was provided the party pack in exchange for hosting a party for Oreo. I was not otherwise paid or endorsed. All opinions shared are mine or my guests.*

First off, I was asked to get my cookies from Dollar General. This is not somewhere I would normally go to get... well, anything! Occasionally I will drop in, usually around the holidays. You never can tell what kinds of fun finds they might have. But they do have a great new app. So, who knows? We might be stopping in more often. 

Their selection of Oreo cookies was lacking, in my opinion. So we grabbed a pack there and then grabbed other flavors from another store.

Let's talk Oreo

Who has not tried an Oreo cookie at least once in their lives?? If you live in the States, chances are really good you have had one. At least once. And if you haven't.... Maybe you are Amish? I mean they are a treat that just about any person I know should be able to recognize. And the flavors?? Oh man.... I've been testing various flavors they put out FOR YEARS! Some are huge hits. Some are misses. But they are always a fun experience. 

For the party, Oreo sent soooo much swag! I mean... This party pack was absolutely AMAZING! And I had fun giving them out. I invited friends from our church family to come hang out. We shared so many laughs while playing and talking. Comparisons of favorite flavors were also included! 

We tried the Oreo Thins, Mega Stuf, Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie, and Birthday Cake flavors. Personally, out of these flavors, I'd say the Mega Stuf was my favorite. The Chocolate Peanut Butter Pie one was very similar in taste to Nutter Butter cookies, according to my guests. 

My guests were the best! We didn't have instructions on how to use the included silly straws, but we had fun figuring them out. 

My daughter suggested that I make a cake that looked like an Oreo. So I gave it my best shot. It came out a bit lopsided, but I've heard it tasted wonderful still. 

Overall, I think Oreo got a lot of love! They are a highly versatile snack food. Sweet treat, after school snack, movie snack, part of a fantastic dessert - the options just keep coming. They are often creating new flavors, both limited editions and ones that join the popular ranks of staples on the store shelves. And let's not forget - you can find them just about anywhere! Including Dollar General! 

Do you have a favorite flavor? I'd love to hear what it is. So drop me a comment below. Have you tried any of the limited edition flavors? We have! Do you remember the Blueberry Pie? How about the more recent Mario ones? Here's to seeing what comes next.
