At some point in our lives, we all crave hot, brothy, salty noodles that we want lickety split. Sometimes, they come in the form of instant ramen, the staple of college students. Sometimes, they come as Cup Noodles, a staple of those who don’t want to dirty a pot or a bowl to make their noodles. Simply boil water, pour it into the noodle cup, add a flavor packet, and let it sit for three minutes.
They’re both inexpensive fixes when craving noodles fast. But only one of those options has been playing with the flavors we expect of that quick fix lately: Cup Noodles.
The brand recently introduced what we dubbed its “most shocking flavor yet”—Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese. The breakfasty option comes together just like Cup Noodles soupy options but ends up with a creamy, cheesy sauce for the noodles rather than a broth.
Now, Cup Noodles is targeting dessert lovers with its latest flavor, which may steal the “most shocking flavor yet” title from the Everything Bagel with Cream Cheese.
Cup Noodles New Campfire S’mores Flavor
Available only at Walmart, Cup Noodles now has a Campfire S’mores flavor. When the brand announced the new dessert-themed noodles on Instagram, one follower asked a question we’re sure many people are wondering.
“Why is this a flavor?”
Cup Noodles answered in the only way that made sense, “Why not?”
The new variety combines the chocolate, marshmallow, and graham cracker flavors of S’mores with a smokey note for a unique take on the s’more experience that, like the Everything Bagel, ends up with a creamy sauce rather than a brothy one.
We have a slew of recipes on Allrecipes that riff on the s’mores theme, ranging from S’mores Bread Pudding to S’mores Dip to Grilled S’mores Pizza. There’s not much we don’t expect some clever recipe developer to s’more-ify.
But noodles? We didn’t see that one coming. Yes, we’re officially calling it. Cup Noodles Campfire S’mores has wrested the title of “most shocking flavor yet” away from Everything Bagel, at least when it comes to Cup Noodles.
