A package rings in at $2.99. Orange tends to be a pretty divisive and potentially overpowering flavor, so I went into this tasting hopeful, yet skeptical.

Orange creamsicle-flavored foods are supposed to balance vanilla and orange\u00a0but since orange is such a dominant flavor, I figured this sandwich cookie would have a hard time offering both. The cookie part itself is fresh and snappy with a hint of citrus flavor and vanilla. The orange filling in between is sweet and just like the classic gritty filling shoved between Oreos. Luckily, the artificiality of the scent wasn&#8217;t as much of a presence in the actual taste. It&#8217;s not &#8220;fresh orange,&#8221; by any means, but it&#8217;s nowhere near the overly fake flavor of an orange Starburst or orange Skittles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Although I expected that the orange would overwhelm the bite,\u00a0I found it to be a light flavor that didn&#8217;t overpower the vanilla of the cookie. When the whole sandwich cookie is eaten together, the bite is balanced, sweet, and decadent. While not perfect, these cookies deliver on the creamsicle promise and are a fun, summery treat worth adding to your cart while supplies last.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Hungry for more?
