All opinions are mine alone. #SpreadOREOCheer #CollectiveBias My parents hated grocery shopping with me as a kid. Unexpected items would magically find their way to the shopping cart. Sometimes it would fruit snacks, maybe some frosted cereal. But always, without a doubt, I would manage to sneak in a bag of OREO cookies. Even as an adult, OREO cookies are always on my shopping list. OREO Caramel Dipped Apples The holidays are never complete without an OREO inspired dessert. This year, I’m making caramel apples with my family. Once upon a time, I was only aware of two types of caramel apples: those with or without chopped peanuts. Then in my teens, I was exposed to the creative world of caramel apples. Caramel apples topped with gummies, chocolate chips, and even chopped up candy bars. But by far, chopped OREO caramel dipped apples are my favorite. The tart Granny Smith apple provides the perfect balance to the sweet caramel and crunchy OREO cookies. They’re destined to be together. OREO caramel dipped apples are perfect for the holidays. Imagine setting up a caramel apple dipping station. The wonder and excitement would span generations, bringing kids and adults together. Plus, these treats are great for sharing. Simply slice the apples and start enjoying. I buy my OREO cookies at Ralphs (Kroger, if you live outside of California). They tend to have all the different varieties of OREO cookies available. You can’t miss the OREO section in the cookie aisle of the market. During the holidays, I tend to buy tons of the seasonal mint and candy cane OREO cookies. During college, my roommates and I would frequent the 24-hour Ralphs near the dorms to stock up on snacks (mainly OREO cookies, popcorn, and cereal: the typical college diet). This holiday season, while you’re out and about shopping for your gatherings and parties, be sure to stop by Krogers and stock up on OREO cookies and #spreadOREOcheer!

Heather (Delicious Not Gorgeous) says: December 17, 2015 i like oreo’s plain. without milk. boring, i know. but just because i like them best that way doesn’t mean i don’t like them other ways (: i had a scoop of oreo/thin mint/cinnamon ice cream in a hong kong egg waffle last week, and some really milky vanilla soft serve topped with crushed oreos a couple weeks ago, and both were amazing!
