Voortman Cookies & Creme Wafers

So today at Walmart I finally got something I've been wanting for years! Voortman Cookies 'n Creme Wafers! They are not new or limited edition, but they are new to me because I have never had them before.

I love anything that is cookies 'n creme flavour so I was really excited about these wafers. I can tell you right now that they did not disappoint at all.

When I opened the package, the wafers were all stuffed together and looked like a big cake. I love how they are put together and I love that the only thing separating these babies from my hand was the wrapper. No tray, no foil, nothing! Just easy-to-tear packaging. I do wish it was somehow resealable!

The cookies taste very good. They are similar to Oreo but much more delicate and they sort of melt in your mouth. The are very sweet and crunchy. My favourite part is the creme, It is a little bit tangy and it just tastes so good! I just had mine plain but I would recommend having these with a glass of milk. I'm not sure if you can dip them because they are quite, as I said, delicate so they might fall apart.

Although I do love Oreos, I think I like these more. The cookies 'n creme flavour is more intense. They also cost less than a package of Oreo cookies, which is nice if you are on a budget but still want something yummy!

I'm really glad I finally bought these because they are just scrumptious. Would highly recommend!! Just be aware, you might get addicted.

Trident Jelly Bean Layers Limited Edition Sugar-free Gum

For spring, Trident has created a new gum flavour. This one is supposed to taste like jelly beans. I found it at Shoppers Drug Mart and, as I am a sucker for anything labelled "Limited Edition", I bought it!

The package (front)

The package (back)

I think the packaging is very cute, I love the pastel colours and the jelly beans on it. There are 14 pieces in a pack. For an avid gum chewer like me, that's not much! But it's a pretty good amount, in my opinion. Something I didn't like about this was that there is no nutritional information on it.

When I opened the pack, I was overwhelmed with the sweet scent. It smells like green apples and candy. I really liked it.

I found the taste to be very appealing although it did not taste anything like jelly beans. It tasted more like the pineapple & apple flavoured Trident Layers gum. You can especially taste the green apple. It's very sweet and fruity and a little bit sour. When you put it in your mouth, your taste buds just explode with the tangy flavour. However, it also has a bit of a bitter undertone, you can really taste the artificial sweetners. But hey, it's gum, right?

Here is the gum out of the package and wrapper. I love the colour of the gum, it's perfect for spring and just so adorable! The size is approx. 1.5cm in length and 0.3cm in width, just a regular piece of Trident gum. The consistency is, as you would expect, soft and chewy. This is very nice if you don't want dessert, it makes for a great substitute.

Is it worth the buy?

Overall, I would say this is not really worth the buy. It's great, but it's nothing special. The flavour may be "limited edition" but it's not different or unique in any way. As I said, it tastes very similar to the pineapple & apple flavour.  It's not bad at all though.
