Author’s Note: Not a paid review. These are my own weird little opinions. I have no affiliation with Aldi<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otherworldly color and zingy flavor.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of my readers recommended these Key Lime Sandwich Creme cookies. She described them as similar to an Oreo, and I think that is apt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cookie Wafers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The twin cookie wafers are fantastically crisp and fresh-tasting. That’s probably the worst thing that can go wrong with these sandwich-style cookies \u2014 stale texture. Ew. There’s a gentle, warm flavor to the wafer base: a slight “graham” taste. And a kiss of sweetness.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Creme Filling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The filling is soft and creamy \u2014 perhaps a tad<\/em> softer (and more lush) than an Oreo, which I liked. This is appropriately thick icing, without being ridiculous. A crowd-pleasing amount. I’m one of those monsters who prefers “less sweet” treats, so I’d be satisfied with half as much icing in each cookie. (I know. Horrifying.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now for the bad news: there is High Fructose Corn Syrup. And Sugar is the first ingredient. So, betwixt the two, these are sugary morsels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(I also enjoyed these petite mace spiced sandwich creme cookies from Aldi<\/a>, which are imported from the Netherlands and cost just 5 cents each.)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Flavor<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Flavor-wise, there’s a perky tartness. It tastes like key lime candy. Rather than a homogenous flavor, there are intermittent bits of sharper “zing” in the creme filling, which jolt my tastebuds and add excitement. A sprinkle of fizzy zips. Like much<\/em> more mild pop rocks, maybe? Sadly, there isn’t any real<\/em> citrus listed in the ingredients; I can only find “Natural and Artificial Flavors.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(For more genuine citrusy flavor, you might enjoy this frozen Key Lime Cheesecake from Aldi; here are my thoughts<\/a>.)<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Natural Color<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I don’t personally find the bright green color appealing. It has an unnatural neon sheen that feels otherworldly. I’d be just as happy with a colorless or pale\/neutral green filling. I was pleased, however, to see that this shocking green hue is from natural substances like spirulina, turmeric, and beta carotene. *applause*<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(It’s a brighter green than it looks in my pictures; I don’t know why my camera couldn’t quite capture it. Commence the camera shaming.)<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Packaging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I appreciate the resealable tab on the cookie package. It’s much like the Oreo counterpart, and seals verrrrry tightly, with strong adhesive. I’d still have preferred two or three individual sleeves of sealed cookies, that I could open and eat one-by-one. I’m a slow eater, and these cookies will likely go stale before I finish them. But that’s because I live in soggy ol’ Florida.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
