This is turning into a Starbucks blog now. Lol. But I need to try all the flavors!
So the second of the new flavors that I decided to try was the Red Velvet. This tastes wayyyyy different than I expected it to, whereas with the Lemon Bar, it tasted exactly how I thought it would.
I'm used to red velvet kind of being like Vanilla Cake with Red Dye in it... thats pretty much what most "red velvet cakes" are. There are few exceptions to this (broad street dough co... I'm lookin at you!They have the best Red Velvet Donuts!) This one tastes... very VERY chocolatey. Its almost like a mocha with oreos in it. Really good, but very strong. I don't think the typical frap fan would necessarily like this one because it is actually like coffee.
The frap I would compare this most to is the one that they used to have with the chocolate and the oreos... can't think of the name of it. Mocha Cookie Crumble! This is like a stronger version of the Mocha Cookie Crumble. It has the oreos throughout it, so it still has that kind of gritty texture. I'm not always the biggest fan of that... but I can dig it in this. Especially because it kind of needs it to offset the strong chocolatey flavor of this. It adds more to the chocolate I guess... but it kind of offsets it from that also.
So I like this... is it better than Cool Ranch Doritos... no. Not really. I mean they got the flavor spot on, so the sophistication of Cool Ranch Doritos is there (if your new to this blog, I compare everything to Cool Ranch Doritos because I think they have the most sophisticated flavor.) Would I order it again... maybe. Not my first choice but maybe. I didn't love the Mocha Cookie Crumble either, but I still got that occasionally to switch things up.
And the real question: Is it better than the Lemon Bar? Clearly not lol. I ranked the Lemon Bar higher than Cool Ranch Doritos and... an even better honor... higher than Apple Pie Snapple. This doesn't get that same ranking, but I'm impressed with the chocolatey-ness of it!
Ohhh also, if you do like the typical red velvet type of thing... this might not be for you as it is more chocolatey than a hostess red velvet or something like that. So... don't get your hopes up for this one unless you're in love with the cocoa... and by that I actually mean chocolate and not cocaine. Side Note: That song isn't bad! If my cousins hadn't told me it was about cocaine though and I heard it, I'd probably think it was about chocolate and wonder why its not in a hershey's commercial. Lol. Not really... I think I'd get it... but I like chocolate and don't do drugs... Why can't I have a song. I also can't sing... ohhh problems. Lol.
Byeee!
