"The rookie cookie is a chocolate sandwich one with a sweet, chocolate-hued filling. Unlike the crumbly texture of an Oreo (from which the Exploremores take clear inspiration), the first bite delivered a pleasingly soft and slightly chewy texture, along with a subtle hint of marshmallow. It's a pleasant, borderline nostalgic taste that's hard not to like. The 'rocky road' inspiration, however, comes up a bit short."
"The almond note, either in textural or extract forms (Girls Scout's official copy states that the cookies feature a "toasted almond-flavored crème"), was nearly absent, lost beneath the chocolate and sugar. If you're looking for a true rocky road experience, you won't find a crystal-clear interpretation here. But it's still a rather tasty cookie that, if you squint hard enough, might evoke a scenic journey on the road of rockiness."
Exploremores debut as a chocolate sandwich cookie inspired by rocky road ice cream, featuring a sweet, chocolate-hued filling and a soft, slightly chewy texture. The filling delivers a subtle marshmallow hint and a pleasant, borderline nostalgic taste. Development took three years under an innovation committee. The cookie is soft compared with classic Oreos and is clearly chocolate-forward. The intended almond dimension, described as a toasted almond-flavored crème, is faint and overshadowed by chocolate and sugar, so a distinct rocky road experience is lacking. Exploremores remain tasty but do not unseat Caramel deLites as the top Girl Scout cookie.
