Cookies and Cream, Cheesecake Pieces, and Chocolate Pieces

This time I went with the flavor of the day, but I decided to take advantage of the opportunity to add two toppings for no extra charge. Have you had a Oreo truffle? If you have not, I would definitely recommend having at least one. They are crushed Oreo cookies mixed with cream cheese and covered in chocolate. On this trip, I tried to recreate an Oreo truffle in a concrete. My tenth concrete mixer was cookies and cream custard with cheesecake pieces and chocolate pieces.




The Oreo pieces and chocolate pieces were prominent in the mixer. The cheesecake pieces had mostly gotten mixed in with the custard. Overall, it was good, but special. I would probably not order it again. Next time, the cookies and cream flavor of the day comes around I will add cookie dough and/or brownie bits.

Coconut Chocolate Almond Crunch

Again, I went with the flavor of the day. I believe I already stated that I am a big coconut fan, so Coconut Chocolate Almond Crunch was a no brainer. My ninth concrete mixer was coconut custard, almond, and chocolate pieces.



Upon arrival, I could smell the coconut. It was a perfect blend of custard, chocolate pieces, and almond slivers. Previously, I have complained about mixer having too much chew. This one was perfect. I believe this perfect lies in the use of the almond slivers. Overall, this was great. I will definitely be ordering this one again.

Vanilla, Cookie Dough, and Butterscotch

One of my favorite cookies of all time is oatmeal scotchies. Along with pumpkin bread, oatmeal scotchies were one of my aunt's specialties. In homage of oatmeal scotchies, my eighth concrete mixer was vanilla, cookie dough, and butterscotch.


 

The first thing I tasted was the butterscotch. Unlike the caramel in previous mixers, the butterscotch flavor did not hide itself in the vanilla custard. I didn't really care for the flavor of the butterscotch. It was a little too scotchy for my taste. The cookie dough was very good. As for the amount of cookie dough, this time they got it right. Overall, it was pretty good. Next time I will probably just get a vanilla and cookie dough mixer.
