The history of popular sweets and a few details

American children came up with a whole ritual, according to which you need to absorb Oreo cookies. It is necessary to divide the halves, lick off both the filling and, dipping into milk, to eat chocolate crispy dough. Yes, without milk, this cookie will not be so perfect. Therefore, we can say that this drink is an obligatory addition to this treat.

What is the origin of the name of the Oreo cookie, even its producers find it difficult to answer. It appeared in 1912 on the British market. The cream was with two fillings. One of them was a traditional creamy one. And the second - lemon meringue - for some reason was unpopular. But the cream cream broke all records. The design of sweets changed, besides it was made with various additives. But the original taste is the most loved and popular, especially among children. The second, just a hit version, is a vanilla sandwich with chocolate creamy stuffing. The dark color of the traditional Oreo biscuit is most likely due to the high percentage of cocoa content. But some detractors spread the rumor that one of the components of sweetness is soot.

To protect yourself from substandard products, cook your favorite cookies at home. But do not forget that Oreo cookies are extremely caloric. The combination of a high percentage of fats with a large amount of carbohydrates contributes to the lightning deposition of excess fat stores. Therefore, one can only partly rejoice that Oreo cookies in Moscow and other Russian cities can not always be bought. If you are not afraid to spoil the figure, then try to cook it at home. Besides the unsurpassed taste, it looks very attractive and can be used for decorating cakes and capkakes.
