Quick post. So coffee Mate has released a few new seasonal creamer flavors. One being “Warm Cinnamon Sugar Cookie ” and “Brown Sugar Maple Latte”, and as of now, as I’m sipping on a cup of coffee chock full of ”Warm Cinnamon Sugar Cookie ” goodness, I’m disappointed. Why? The cinnamon flavor overrides what I expected to be a smooth, velvety, [...]

Not overly rich, nor too thick (unlike International Delight’s Breve Cream in my opinion) I get a pretty even taste of caramel, but a slightly less white chocolate undertone. I had thought that the white chocolate would overpower the subtle buttery caramel, however one taste’s the opposite.

Biting into it, there will be a sharp note of bittersweet, rich dark chocolate, followed by a creamy, delicate vanilla taste with a creamy buttery undertone. Its texture mirrors caramel (though it is cream in color), and though no vanilla beans are absent, there is a complexity of the satiny vanilla that stems from the product’s quality ingredients; White chocolate, vanilla powder, and vanilla work hand in hand to stand out on their own, but bow down humbly to the dark chocolate’s authority, both harmoniously defining each other’s tastes.

It was like eating warm strawberry jam that tasted too soggy to be yummy. Maybe next time, Saxby’s. Just kidding, hahaha. Once I dislike something, it’s hard to give it another go. Manifestations of trust issues,perhaps?

Although I liked their replication of the bun, I wouldn’t buy it again, because the inclusion of a cream cheese undertone in my coffee is just plain weird. I even considered that it would be when I was considering purchasing it, but I figured the cream cheese icing flavor would be obsolete.

So it’s clear this food blog has featured many coffee creamer reviews, a copycat recipe and money saving tips, but is there anything you’d like to see from me in the future?

Greek yogurt was pretty good It’s thick, creamy, chock full of protein (12 grams!) and does vary from your typical very sweet yogurts out there. It also taste a tad bit more natural than say some other yogurts that are just full of sugar. Plus, it’s so thick, I turned my spoon over and the yogurt didn’t even budge. COOL!!

I figured toasted almond was more easy to imagine taste wise and wasn’t as interesting compared to the pink prettiness of the Strawberry Shortcake. I picked it up, excited about what newness I’d experience upon tasting it. And I sniffed it a little. OH goodness! It was heavenly! So juicy, sweet and flirty to my nostrils! SOLD!

The texture was about the texture of their orange scone- rather hard but soft. Imagine eating a donut stick by Little Debbie this is exactly the consistency it has, and the glaze was a clear, sugary glaze that the donut stick has. I was slightly disappointed, because I was expecting thicker, opaque glaze similar to their orange scone glaze, but obviously in a vanillish cream variety.

I purchased the chocolate chip creme brulée first, because it sounded rather adventurous; deep, rich chocolate with a creme brulée undertone. Well, upon my first sip if coffee, here’s what happened. I noticed the smell first. The scent was wonderfully rich in all its chocolatiness and had a strong punch of the vanilla custard of the creme brulée. It’s almost like a souped up French Vanilla, but with sugar sprinkled inside each of its buttery layers. If you sniffed it as long as I did, you can even make out the sugary topping of the creme brulée. Quite naturally, I was expecting to taste a strong creme brulée note. Hmm. I’m actually still waiting for it to emerge somewhere when I taste it, but it doesn’t seem to happen. The flavoring was mostly chocolate with a soft yet sweet vanilla cream undertone. It was most certainly there but passively, as if it its job was to calm down the dramatically noticable chocolate from time to time.
