Taste Test: Oreo Peanut Butter Cakesters
October 11th, 2009 • 12 Comments | Leave a Comment »
Don’t you look at me like that! I’m just a tad bit weary from excess cauliflower consumption (really, I am) so quit persecuting me for the vision of Oreo Peanut Butter Cakesters that I’ve set before my your eyes.
Those dreamy regular Cakesters make me lose control, like when I’m in a frenzy of plyometric squat jumps (except I’m eating, not jumping).
But lets remain positive – just think of the service I’m doing for peanut butter freaks around the global. Don’t they (you?) need to know what this junk tastes like? So how about if I sacrifice my latest calorie burn and throw away the efforts from this morning’s power walk? It’s all for you, baby.
Tasting…tasting…oh damn. I thought I was getting full-fledged peanut butter squashed between the cakey-ness. Instead, I sense a concoction of faint peanut butter flavor infused with artificial-ness. Besides that, the flavor of the Oreo cake and the filling don’t even match. It’ll make your taste buds separate and choose sides. It’s nowhere near the creme de la creme of peanut butter junk food snacks.
Don’t be fooled by the Peanut Butter Cakester. Pick an alternative junky treat to indulge in.

Reactions from the Taste Test Crew
Health-hater Husband: I like peanut butter, but not like this. It doesn’t compliment very. The flavors clash. It’s not nasty, just doesn’t flow.
Greedy Kid #3: I can just eat around the peanut butter so it doesn’t touch my lips.
Yum UP! to: Alternative junky treats.
Yuck Down to: Excessive cauliflower consumption gone wrong. (don’t ask)

I’m not a big fan of the cakesters. I think I will stick to PB in my other favorite things (my mouth open wide!)

The thought of these makes my tummy hurt!
Yes- packaged matzo mix. Very easy. Usually found somewhere in the soup aisle or near the ethnic foods

Oreo Cakesters are just wrong! Ugg. Never had a desire to taste and let’s see, yup, still don’t! That is saying something coming from this junk food junkie. Hats off to you for trying.

I have never tried a cakester….but I will totally admit that there is something very intriguing about them!

I agree, it sounds like a good idea and they sure looked good the one time I had them… the taste and consistency was just weird though. I can’t even really describe it, but it wasn’t very good.

Thanks for the tip! I am guessing that you didn’t pick these up at Trader Joe’s…

Ai-yai-yai. I sincerely wish you had not shown me these.
Hopefully they’ll come out with them in the 100 calorie packs like the other flavors.

I didn’t even know about these. Gawd, too bad they taste so awful. I see potential in them that has yet to be realized.
