How To Make Oreo Delight
I read a funny article in a local paper the other day that said, The Way You Eat Your Oreo Says Something About You.” According to a survey of over 2000 Oreo lovers, psychologists, and food writers, apparently, there are three types of Oreo lovers.
Dunkers tend to be energetic, adventurous, and extremely social. 87% of dunkers say milk is their liquid of choice for dunking. Twisters tend to be emotional, sensitive, artistic, and trendy. Biters are easy-going, self-confident, and optimistic. The survey also discovered that more women tend to be dunkers while men tend to be biters. And, Democrats tend to twist, while Republicans tend to dunk!
And what about me? I tend to be in the first two types – I twist the Oreo apart, eat the side without the icing, and drink milk. Then I lick off the icing and drink more milk, and then I eat the last part and finish my cup of milk. I personally think it makes the Oreo last longer because you get two cookies.
So how do you eat your Oreos? Twist apart? Dunk in milk? Or bite right in? I would love to hear from you, so don’t hesitate to comment.
OK, let’s get back to today’s recipe. Can I suggest yet another delicious way to eat your Oreo, or should I say, HEAVEN!? This is one of those desserts you can eat half the pan before you even realize it, so watch out.
