Kcal 250 Fat 12.0g Fat(sats) 3.0g Carbs 36.0gA few weeks ago dedicated Chocolate Mission reader Justin was kind enough to send me a pack of the original Oreo Cakesters to review...they scored a very reasonable 7.4 Chocolate Mission rating. For that reason when the opportunity arose for me to get my hands on a pack of the 'Chocolate Creme' variant I wasnt going to turn it down.
Much the same as the original variant these came in a pack of two cakes (57g), for reasons I will go into they turned out to feel like a more substantial product. As you can see above the cakes looked identical to the originals though with a darker coloured creme filling - very prtty to look at (..but even better to eat lol!). Aromawise the cakes lacked any smell worth mentioning...again a slightly sweet smell but nothing massivelly appealing.
The cake elements still retained a nice firm brownie type texture...slightly moist but firm and substantial to the bite. The cake pieces had a nice chocolaty taste and were definately still my favourite part of the cakesters - scrumptious.
So...the defining element of this variety the chocolate creme...how did it fare? Better than the original creme fillling in my opinion. Though still the same in proportion the creme filling had a thicker denser texture and with this a stronger flavour. The original Cakesters creme had a very sweet slightly milky flavour, this variant was creamier but slightly less sweet and had an cocoa edge to its taste.
Overall if I was offered a pack of these or a Kinder Slice I honestly dont know which I would pick (both probably haha!). These are on a par with the Kinder Slice but marginally better tasting than the original Cakesters! This is solely due to the creme filling flavour being slightly more distinguished making for a marginally more satisfying product. Again these come highly recommended by myself - an absolutely perfect snack enjoyed with a cool glass of milk.

Finally, a version that isn't (or at least doesn't appear to be) a limited edition.
Nabisco has recently launched a Nilla Cakester (Vanilla Wafers). Pretty much it's yellow cake with the Oreo Frosting; very reminiscent of a Twinkie. Not sure if it fits with the Chocolate Missions, but it's worth checking out. Thanks for the review my friend!
Justin Oreo Cakesters with Mint Filling....you heard it here first :D :D it hasnt actually been announced but I think the chances are pretty high dont you think.
As for the Nilla...if people want to see it reviewed then why not!? Im gonna try track down a source for them now. Have you tried then yet?
Jim :D
Hi,
I just found your blog through Choclit, which I found via the Foodie Blogroll.
I am a chocoholic. My favourite brand is Cadbury's, but here in Canada we don't get the whole range of Cadbury's the way you might overseas. My favourite chocolate bar EVER was Cadbury's Fuse Bars. I was so ticked when they stopped making them! My mom, who used to live in the UK, would send me a stash every so often, but eventually she couldn't find them anymore and the local grocer told her Cadbury had stopped making them.
I still love a Dairymilk, however, and the Dark Fruit & Nut.
I have moved on, though. My current favourite maker of chocolate goodness is Green & Blacks. I wasn't overly fussy about their cherry version, but I do love their mint, butterscotch, and dark chocolate bars. I also like that they're organic and mainly fair trade.
I could go on and on...I've added you to my feedreader so I can keep up with your posts!
WC Hey there and welcome to ChocolateMission. Its always great having new readers and contributors and I love hearing from each one - I endeavour to answer all comments so please make it a habit :D
I too am a massive Cadbury fan - as you will see by the top ratings the Caramel DM is joint top...I swear its going to take something really special to beat it. TBH the Cadbury fruit and nut is good...just not the best F&N i have had...that would have to go the Montezumas "Jungle Fever" bar.
As for the Fuse I ever understood it myself :S :S why take it away?? Oh well we have a bit of a different market trend to the US/Canada 'Limited Edition' one...ours is more focused on tapping in on notalgia...hence the rememergence of bars like the Wispa and Drifter...so fingers crossed the FUSE will come back at some point aswell.
As for Green & Blacks...its a bit of an under tapped resource for me at the minute ;) dont worry I aim to put that right in the next few weeks. so stay tuned as I would love your thoughts on what I write.
Anyway thanks for adding my feed and again welcome to the site!
Jim :D

I have had the Nilla. Oddly, enough it's lower in calories and more satisfiying than the Oreos. Maybe it's the sweetness. I'm all for you reviewing it if no one else has objections...
Justin im currently looking to get hold of some of the Nilla ones...I dont really mind that they arent strictly chocolate...half the bars I review on here dont actually contain cocoa :D :D ...right ebay it is! I hope I can get hold of some soon - glad you enjoyed them; your endorsement just makes me want to try them more :D
