If any of you follow along with my blog, you'll know I love candy corn. Richard gave me a bag for my birthday in August and it is long gone. I don't like the pumpkins. They're too sugary. Go ahead Try to figure that one out!! I crave the plain ol' standard yellow, white and orange corn.
Yesterday I saw a bit on CNN about Candy Corn Oreos. Everyone loved them in the taste test except for the guy who didn't like candy corn. I think it's un American not to like candy corn. Anyway these Oreos are only available at Target and are only around for a limited time. I have to try them.
I don't normally shop at Target but today when I ran some errands, I decided to make a stop there to get a bag of Oreos. Now Oreos are not something I ever buy or keep around the house. At this stage of my life all I really need to do is look at an Oreo and I'll gain ten pounds. Once I started eating one, I'd finish the bag in one sitting, kind of like I did with that birthday bag of candy corn. It's not that I don't like them, it's just best not to be tempted.
Entering the store, I walked right up to an end cap filled with Oreos. I thought I'd hit the jackpot. There were Oreos shaped like footballs and Halloween Oreos filled with orange creme. I examined those to make sure they weren't candy corn. The label said filled with orange creme. I couldn't quite decide if that meant orange flavored creme or orange colored creme. But I knew it wasn't candy corn flavored.
I walked back to the cookie section. Oreos command alot of shelf space. I grew up with chocolate cookies with white filling that we loved to twist apart and lick off the creme before eating the cookie. Today Oreos have green mint filling, pink berry creme, chocolate, fudge and even what they call golden cookies with white creme. Oh my! When I stopped being amazed at all the different kinds of Oreos, I took a second look. No candy corn Oreos. Bummer.
With my head hanging low with disappointment, I walked toward the front of the store to go home, mission not accomplished. The Halloween candy caught my eye. I snagged a bag of real candy corn, and took it to the cashier. I hadn't even made it to my car before I ripped open the bag.
I drove home, one hand on the steering wheel and one hand in the bag of candy. Who needs to hunt for Oreos? I'll take the real thing any day.
