Discover 23 must-try Oreo flavors that range from familiar to fanciful. Some go back decades while others are relatively new. We reviewed them all based on taste and flavor.
We loved eating Oreos when we were kids and we still love eating them as adults. We’re not alone. The Oreo is a classic sandwich cookie that’s grown from an American classic to a worldwide sensation. Even Weird Al Yankovic sang about his Oreo obsession.
Eating an Oreo still makes us happy, whether we bite into it whole, eat the cream first or dunk the entire cookie into a glass of cold milk. Yum, yum and yum!
What Is an Oreo?
An Oreo isn’t just a sandwich cookie that’s filled with sweet, sugary cream. It’s also the most popular cookie in both America and the world.
Oreo sales have reportedly exceeded half a trillion dollars since original owner Nabisco sold the first Oreos in New York City back in 1912. Fast forward to the present and current owner Mondelez International produces more than 40 billion Oreo cookies each year. That’s a lot of Oreos!
Oreo Flavors
Oreo competed with Hydrox, a similar cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookie, during much of the 20th century. Today, it competes with itself with a current product roster that includes a range of flavors as well as variations on the original cookie-to-cream ratio. Some, like the Lemon Oreo, are permanent, while others, like Halloween Oreos, are limited to a season or year.

After dipping our toes into the Oreo flavor pool when we discovered Golden Oreos a few years ago, we started to wonder which Oreo flavor is best. To answer this question, we jumped into the deep end by buying and trying as many Oreos as we could find.
We went big. We went small. We twisted, we licked and we dunked. And then we did it again and again until we taste-tested them all. These are our favorites:
1. Original Oreo
The original Oreo is the alpha Oreo to which all other Oreos should be compared. It’s also vegan, kosher and milk’s favorite cookie. This is the Oreo that launched an empire when it was first baked in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood more than a century ago. The vanilla cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookie is now sold and beloved in more than 100 countries.
Our Take on Original Oreos
While the Original Oreo holds a special place in both of our hearts, we disagree about the best way to eat it. Daryl likes to bite into his Original Oreos while Mindi is a fan of the twist-and-lick approach.
2. Double Stuf / Double Creme Oreo
Introduced in 1974, Double Stuf Oreos have been making life sweeter with a double dose of cream filling. We like everything about this Oreo except for its name, which misspells stuff as stuf. Kudos to European countries that market this Oreo flavor as Double Creme, a moniker that makes way more sense to these two grammar geeks.
Our Take on Double Stuf Oreos
The Double Stuf Oreo is essentially an Oreo with twice as much cream as found in the Original Oreo. We approve of this ramped-up cream-to-cookie ratio whether Daryl takes a big bite or Mindi employs the age-old twist-and-lick technique.
3. Golden Oreo
Nabisco made waves when it started selling cookies that replaced the classic Oreo’s dark brown chocolate biscuits with golden vanilla biscuits. The gamble paid off. Today, purists can stick with original Oreos, while people who love choices can choose between original Oreos or Golden Oreos depending on their mood.
Our Take on Golden Oreos
Although Golden Oreos hit the market in 2004, we didn’t discover the revolutionary flavor until 2018. It was love at first bite back then and ranks as one of our favorite Oreo flavors to this day.
4. Golden Double Stuf Oreo
The Golden Double Stuf Oreo is essentially a Golden Oreo with twice as much cream filling as a regular Golden Oreo. It’s also a Double Stuf Oreo with golden vanilla biscuits instead of dark brown chocolate biscuits.
Our Take on Golden Double Stuf Oreos
We love the Golden Double Stuf Oreo twice as much as we love the original Golden Oreo.
5. Peanut Butter Oreo
The Peanut Butter Oreo takes the popular cookie sandwich to the next level by replacing the vanilla cream center with peanut butter cream. Although it wasn’t a unique combination when this Oreo flavor debuted in 2007, peanut butter quickly became a fan favorite. Perhaps the popularity is due to the sandwich cookie’s creamy peanut butter filling that’s made with roasted peanuts as opposed to peanut flavoring.
Our Take on Peanut Butter Oreos
Since we like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Peanut Butter M&M’s, it’s no surprise that we’re fans of the Peanut Butter Oreo. Chocolate and peanut butter is a combination that works for us in candy and it works for us in this Oreo flavor too.
6. Lemon Oreo
Similar to Golden Oreos, Lemon Oreos are flanked by golden vanilla biscuits. However, unlike Golden Oreos, their cream filling is lemon-flavored. The key word here is flavored. Despite the name, lemons aren’t included in this sandwich cookie’s ingredients.
Our Take on Lemon Oreos
We typically like citrus-flavored desserts, and the Lemon Oreo is no exception. We’d like it even more if the lemon flavor was brighter and more pronounced.
7. Mint Oreo
Mint Oreos have been making kids of all ages smile since the flavor debuted in 1999 and not just because the cream filling is green. Maybe the chocolate-mint combo reminds people of Thin Mint Girl Scout Cookies. Or maybe the cookie is reminiscent of Andes Chocolate Mints. Either way, the popular flavor shows up in various Oreo iterations and is also sold as an ice cream flavor.
Our Take on Mint Oreos
We have mixed feelings about this flavor. Daryl isn’t a fan of mint chocolate chip ice cream and he isn’t a fan of Mint Oreos. Mindi, however, gives it a big thumbs up.
8. Oreo Thins (Various Flavors)
Eating Oreo Thins won’t make you thin, or will they? Flatter, crispier Oreo Thins have 35 calories each as opposed to the Original Oreo’s 53 calories. Although they originally debuted in three flavors, there are now multiple Thins flavors, including Golden, Lemon, Mint, Tiramisu and Extra Stuf.
Our Take on Oreo Thins
We like this cookie’s crunchy bite and approve of its cream-to-cookie ratio. We also appreciate the lower calorie count.
9. Birthday Cake / Birthday Party Oreo
Everybody loves birthdays, especially when they involve parties and cake. The same can’t be said about Birthday Cake Oreos which are filled with birthday-cake-flavored cream and decorated with sprinkles. These festive Oreos are sweeter than Original Oreos which works works for some. but not for all.
Our Take on Birthday Cake Oreos
We want to love the Birthday Cake Oreo but its cream filling is oh-so-sweet. And since we’re sprinkle fans, we’re a bit disappointed that they don’t have more sprinkles. It’s a cool concept though.
10. Chocolate / Choc’o Brownie Oreo
Unlike the Golden Oreo which replaces chocolate biscuits with vanilla biscuits, Chocolate Oreos go in a different direction by replacing vanilla cream with chocolate cream. The result is a sandwich cookie that’s a full-on chocolate experience. This can be a good or bad thing depending on the level of a person’s chocolate obsession.
Our Take on Chocolate Oreos
The Chocolate Oreo satisfied our chocolate cravings in one swoop. It’s kind of ‘one-notey,’ but since its one note is chocolate, we’re okay with that.
11. Strawberry Cheesecake Oreo
Instead of vanilla cream, Strawberry Cheesecake Oreos are filled with strawberry cheesecake flavored cream. As a bonus, the fruity cream is pink which adds a fun element for those who utilize the twist and lick approach.
Our Take on Strawberry Cheesecake Oreos
While we can’t say that Strawberry Cheesecake Oreo tastes like actual strawberry cheesecake, we can say that it tastes good. We can also say that the cream’s pink color makes us happy.
12. Twists Vanilla & Caramel / Remix Caramel & Vanilla Oreo
The word twist takes on a new meaning in the Twists Vanilla & Caramel Oreo where a layer of caramel cream is added to the traditional Oreo recipe. While the amount of cream in this Oreo is similar to the amount of cream in a Double Stuf Oreo, half of it is caramel-flavored.
Our Take on Twists Caramel & Vanilla Oreos
While we liked the visual impact of the layered creams, we were initially disappointed that the caramel wasn’t salty. However, we easily remedied this first-world problem by manually adding a sprinkle of sea salt.
13. Twists Vanilla & Raspberry / Remix Raspberry & Vanilla Oreo
The concept behind the Twists Vanilla & Raspberry Oreo is similar to the Twists Caramel & Vanilla Oreo and Twistsv Tiramisu & Vanilla concept. However, this Oreo flavor has a pink layer of raspberry cream that’s sweeter and more colorful.
Our Take on Twists Vanilla & Raspberry Oreos
The raspberry cream overwhelms the vanilla cream, which can be a good or bad thing based on your perspective. Since we like raspberries, it’s a good thing for us.
14. Remix Tiramisu & Vanilla Oreo
Tiramisu, the layered, creamy, coffee-soaked and powdered Italian concoction made with ladyfingers and mascarpone cream, is arguably Italy’s most popular dessert. And, in a fun twist of fate, it’s also a wonderful Oreo flavor. The cookie version pairs a layer of coffee-flavored cream with a layer of sweet vanilla cream with sweet success.
Our Take on Twists Tiramisu & Vanilla Oreos
We were surprised by how much we like this Oreo flavor. (Don’t judge us but we may like it more than we like the iconic Italian dessert.)
15. The Most Stuf Oreo
Originally a limited-edition cookie when it hit the shelves in 2019, each Most Stuf Oreo has twice as much cream as a Double Stuf Oreo and four times as much cream as an Original Oreo. That’s a lot of cream!
Our Take on the Most Stuf Oreos
While the cream is arguably the best part of an Oreo sandwich cookie, this cookie proves that too much of a good thing is too much.
16. Mini Oreos
Mini Oreos are exactly what they sound like – miniature Oreos packaged in snack-sized bags. While we taste tested miniature Original Oreos, Mondelez also sells miniature Golden Oreos.
Our Take on Mini Oreos
Mini Oreos taste like Original Oreos. However, they’re smaller and fun to nosh. Since we like Original Oreos, we like Mini Oreos too.
17. Oreo Cakesters
Cake lovers rejoice! After disappearing for a decade, Oreo Cakesters returned to stores in 2022. Unlike Original Oreos, the Cakester is a sandwich treat made with soft-baked cake instead of crunchy biscuits. We liken its appearance and texture to whoopie pies we’ve eaten in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Our Take on Oreo Cakesters
Eating a Cakester is the next best thing to eating a whoopie pie baked by an Amish baker.
18. Peanut Butter Oreo Cakesters
Peanut Butter Oreo Cakesters are like original Oreo Cakesters but with one key difference. The cream filling flavor is peanut butter instead of vanilla.
Our Take on Peanut Butter Oreo Cakesters
While the combination of fluffy chocolate cake and sweet peanut butter cream works, we prefer the original Cakester over the peanut butter version.
19. Coca-Cola Oreos (Limited Edition)
The Coca-Cola Oreo fuses two iconic American products to create an utterly unique sandwich cookie made with red and black biscuits plus cola-flavored cream. The red biscuits are vanilla and the black biscuits are chocolate. Simulating carbonation, the cola-flavored cream has popping candy bits which complete the fusion.
Our Take on Coca-Cola Oreos
We agree to disagree about this flavor. One of us finds the soda-flavored cookie to be both tasty and fun. The other finds it to be simply weird. Despite that disagreement, we both approve of Coca-Cola Oreo’s colorful design.
20. Pac-Man Oreos (Limited Edition)
Pac-Man Oreos debuted in Europe more than four decades after the OG arcade game hit the arcade circuit in 1980. With each sandwich cookie featuring a Pac-Man character like Inky, Blinky and Pinky, this Oreo flavor provides a trip down memory lane for Gen-Xers who grew up with the game and its characters.
Our Take on Pac-Man Oreos
Although Pac-Man Oreos taste exactly Original Oreos, they make us smile since they bring back memories of playing the arcade game when we were kids. Yes, we’re Gen-Xer’s. Waka Waka Waka Waka Waka Waka Waka Waka…
21. Gingerbread Oreos (Limited Edition)
Baked with ginger and an array of warming spices, gingerbread cookies are ideal for the holiday season. The same goes for vanilla cream-filled Gingerbread Oreos. The sandwich cookies taste like gingerbread which is ironic since their biscuits are flavored with cinnamon powder.
Our Take on Gingerbread Oreos
Gingerbread is an acquired taste. Since we’ve acquired the taste, we like this holiday flavor. We also like the gingerbread man design on top of each cookie.
22. Oreo Boo! / Spooky Oreos (Limited Edition)
Move over Halloween candy! Oreo has a Halloween flavor that’s notable for its fun holiday designs and festive orange filling. However, since that orange cream is actually vanilla flavored, these seasonal Oreos taste the same as Original Oreos.
Our Take on Spooky Oreos
We have no complaints about the appearance of Spooky Oreos, but we wish the cream was orange flavored instead of standard vanilla. Boo indeed.
23. Crunchy Bites
Crunchy Bites are essentially Mini Oreos coated with milk chocolate. Ideal for sharing, the bag we purchased had four servings of the bite-sized treats.
Our Take on Crunchy Bite Oreos
Chocolate-covered Oreos would have been a dream come true when we were kids. We like them now but we would have loved them then.
