Pirate O's Haul

One of our favorite places to shop for treats is Pirate O's in Draper.  It really is such a fun hidden gem! 

Pirate O's is known for their imported goodies including candy, chocolates and different cheeses.  They also have tons of other cool food items there too.  We went a little crazy the last time we went there and decided to do a taste test of a lot of the things we've wanted to try but have never gotten around to. 

They also have quite a selection of different drinks, including tons of different sodas. 

We decided to rate all our treats on a scale of 1-5. 1 being not so great and 5 being amazing!  We didn't rate our drinks because we both really liked them.

D=Dallin's rating 

R=my rating

Dallin's choice the Nuclear Orange Bomb
-Hint of cream, it was delicious.

My choice the Goya Coconut Soda
-Super refreshing hint of Coconut that wasn't too much!  I totally loved it.

Kinder Bueno Bar D5 R5
-Like a Happy Hippo but a more sophisticated version.
-Thin wafer covered in chocolate with a nutella cream center.
-This is one of our all time favorites! We've bought this for years!

Mars Bar D4 R3
-This was very similar to a Milky Way.

Twirl D2 R3
- This seriously had ripples of chocolate.  I tried to capture it in a picture but i don't know if I could catch it.  It was a fun change!

Lion D4 R4.5
-Cross between a Kit Kat and a 100 Grand Bar.
-Totally has my vote!

Cadbury Dairy Milk Carmel D 4.5 R 4
-Cadbury milk chocolate with a carmel center not so creamy it gets everywhere and not too firm either. Just right!

Cadbury Salted Carmel Crunch Fingers D4  R3
-Caramel flavor biscuits with a delicious salty crunch, enrobed in a velvety smooth Cadbury milk chocolate.

Loacker Gran Pasticceria Coconut D4.5  R7
-Fine Milk Chocolate Biscuits with Coconut cream.
-SO good perfect mix of chocolate and coconut.
-So delicious I cheated on the rating!!

Cadbury Flake D4 R4
Like the Twirl but without the chocolate layer over it all.  It was VERY messy but the chocolate was delicious and we felt like the chocolate was a lot better than the Twirl!

Wunderbar D4 R4
-A peant butter caramel experience! So good!
-Like a Take 5 but without the pretzel.

Nestle Munchies D 2.5 R 2
-Definitely our least favorite of the bunch. 
-Tastes like a Rolo but worse.  It also had a crunchy inside with the caramel and we just did not prefer it.

This was just our haul this time around, but we are regulars at good old Pirate O's.  If you have any recommendations we should try we would love to hear them!

Oreo Taste Testing

 

Dallin LOVES Oreos!  Like so much he convinced me we had to register for them on our wedding registry. And boy did we get a lot of Oreos! Dallin loved it and surprisingly I gradually started to love them too.  So when we were shopping for snacks for Dallin's first big out of town work trip this week and saw these we just had to test them out!

 

-Our verdict-

 

Try the Filled Cupcake Oreos they are so good! The cream center is actually different then the average Oreo cream. The combination is so great!

 

The Oreo Churros on the other hand were a toss up.  Dallin liked them more than I did.  I think they would be perfect for a party because they are bite sized and the cream again is the best part. After you bake or fry them they have a mix of Oreo crumbs and sugar you can toss them in. It was fun to try, but I'd definitely have the Filled Cupcake Oreos over these.

 

I've heard rumor of coconut Oreos!? I've got to try them soon if they are a real thing.  What are your favorite kind of Oreos?
