20 Most Unique Oreo Flavors Of All Time

Oreos have been America’s favorite cookie since 1912, but they’ve come a long way from the original chocolate sandwich with vanilla cream.

Nabisco has taken our beloved Oreo on wild flavor adventures that range from brilliant to bizarre.

I’ve tried my fair share of these experimental treats (my pantry might have a dedicated Oreo shelf), and some have left me questioning everything I thought I knew about cookies.

Let’s explore the strangest Oreo varieties that have graced store shelves over the years.

1. Coca-Cola Oreos

My first encounter with Coca-Cola Oreos happened during a summer road trip to Japan, where bizarre snack foods are practically a national pastime. The cookies featured classic chocolate wafers with Coke-flavored creme that actually fizzed slightly on the tongue!

Unlike most soda-flavored candies that taste artificial, these cookies captured that distinctive cola flavor surprisingly well. The combination of chocolate and cola created this weird but wonderful root beer float effect.

Originally released in China and later in other Asian markets, these fizzy treats never made it to American shelves. Tracking them down became a mission for serious collectors and flavor adventurers like myself. Worth every yen I spent!

2. Sour Patch Kids Oreos

Remember when Oreo decided we needed cookies that make our faces pucker? The Sour Patch Kids Oreos featured bright red creme between golden wafers, creating a visual that screamed ‘I’m not your ordinary cookie!’

The first bite delivered that signature Sour Patch experience – a sour punch followed by a sweet finish. My nephew thought it was hilarious watching my face contort through various stages of confusion. The filling contained actual sour sugar crystals that created a strange textural experience.

Released as a limited edition in 2015, these divisive cookies sparked heated debates among Oreo enthusiasts. Some called them an abomination while others hoarded multiple packages. I’m still undecided whether they were genius or madness!

3. Carrot Cake Oreos

Vegetables in my cookies? Normally I’d protest, but Carrot Cake Oreos made me reconsider my stance. These golden-hued cookies sandwiched cream cheese-flavored filling that captured the essence of grandma’s famous carrot cake.

The cookie itself contained subtle hints of cinnamon, nutmeg, and yes – actual carrot flavor. My skepticism melted away with the first bite, though I couldn’t help but wonder if I could count these as a serving of vegetables. (Spoiler alert: my nutritionist friend shot down that theory immediately.)

Released as part of Oreo’s ongoing flavor experiments, these cookies successfully transformed a beloved bakery classic into sandwich form. The spiced cookie paired with tangy cream cheese filling created a surprisingly sophisticated flavor profile for a mass-market treat.

4. Jelly Donut Oreos

The first time I bit into a Jelly Donut Oreo, the filling squirted onto my favorite white shirt. Lesson learned: these cookies require proper eating technique! Golden wafers surrounded a dual-layer filling – half vanilla, half raspberry jelly – creating a surprisingly accurate donut experience.

The raspberry layer had a jammy consistency that contrasted beautifully with the creamy vanilla portion. My coffee break suddenly felt like a gourmet affair, minus the powdered sugar mustache that usually accompanies actual jelly donuts.

Launched as a Target exclusive in 2017, these cookies flew under the radar for many Oreo aficionados. The subtle tartness of the raspberry against the sweet vanilla created a more sophisticated flavor than most novelty Oreos. I may have purchased several packages “for research purposes.”

5. Peanut Butter & Jelly Oreos

Lunch box nostalgia hit hard when I discovered PB&J Oreos. These golden cookies contained a split filling – half grape jelly, half peanut butter – perfectly replicating childhood’s greatest sandwich invention in cookie form.

The peanut butter half tasted remarkably similar to Nutter Butters, while the grape jelly portion captured that distinctive Concord grape flavor we all grew up with. When eaten together, the combination transported me straight back to elementary school trading snacks at the lunch table.

Released in 2018, these cookies somehow improved upon the classic PB&J by adding the textural contrast of crisp cookies. My nephew refused to eat actual sandwiches for a week after trying these, insisting on “cookie sandwiches” instead. Can’t say I blamed him!

6. Star Wars Oreos

The Force was strong with these cookies! Released alongside “The Rise of Skywalker,” Star Wars Oreos featured embossed designs of iconic characters like Yoda, Darth Vader, and R2-D2 on the chocolate wafers. The filling? A mysterious blue color that looked like it came straight from a galaxy far, far away.

Despite the cosmic appearance, they tasted exactly like regular Oreos. My Star Wars-obsessed friend refused to eat them, instead displaying the package on his memorabilia shelf. I had no such reservations and discovered they made excellent conversation pieces at movie night.

The limited edition packaging featured lightsaber imagery that actually glowed in the dark! Finding these became a scavenger hunt worthy of a Jedi, with fans clearing store shelves faster than you could say “these are not the cookies you’re looking for.”

7. Space Dunk Oreos

Houston, we have a cookie! Space Dunk Oreos blasted onto shelves in 2022, featuring cosmic purple marshmallow-flavored creme studded with popping candy that created a strange zero-gravity sensation in your mouth.

The chocolate cookies came embossed with space-themed designs like rockets, planets, and stars. My first bite startled me when the popping candy activated – imagine Rice Krispies with attitude! The marshmallow flavor reminded me of those freeze-dried astronaut ice cream packets sold at science museums.

NASA actually partnered with Oreo for this limited release, which included educational facts about space exploration on the packaging. My nephew’s science teacher used them as classroom rewards during their astronomy unit. Who said cookies couldn’t be educational? Certainly the most fun way I’ve ever learned about the solar system!

8. Waffle & Syrup Oreos

Breakfast for dessert? Yes please! Waffle & Syrup Oreos combined golden waffle-flavored cookies with maple syrup creme that smelled exactly like Sunday morning at grandma’s house. Opening the package released an aroma so authentic I checked to make sure my kitchen wasn’t magically sprouting waffle irons.

The cookies themselves had a subtle buttery flavor with hints of toasted grain. But the real magic was in that filling – somehow Oreo’s flavor scientists captured the exact essence of maple syrup without making it cloyingly sweet. My morning coffee found its perfect companion.

Released as part of Oreo’s “Vote for Your Flavor” campaign, these breakfast-inspired treats beat out other contenders like Avocado and Cherry Cola. The victory was well-deserved – these cookies successfully transformed a beloved breakfast classic into portable, no-sticky-fingers form.

9. Red Velvet Oreos

Red Velvet Oreos were so popular they graduated from limited edition to permanent fixture! The reddish-brown cookies taste like a hybrid between chocolate and traditional Oreo wafers, with a subtle cocoa flavor that’s less intense than the original.

Inside hides the real star – cream cheese flavored filling that perfectly complements the red velvet cookies. The first time I served these at a book club meeting, one friend accused me of dismantling actual red velvet cupcakes and stuffing them into cookie form. The tangy filling creates that authentic cream cheese frosting experience.

Introduced around Valentine’s Day 2015, these cookies proved so beloved that Nabisco added them to their permanent lineup. They’ve become my go-to “fancy” Oreo when I want to impress guests without actually baking anything. Sometimes convenience and deliciousness perfectly align!

10. Fruit Punch Oreos

Summer camp memories came flooding back with my first bite of Fruit Punch Oreos. These golden cookies sandwiched bright red filling that tasted EXACTLY like that powdered drink mix we all grew up with. The aroma alone transported me straight to plastic cups at birthday parties!

The filling had this uncanny artificial fruit flavor that somehow worked despite having absolutely no connection to actual fruit. My taste buds were confused but delighted. The contrast between the vanilla-forward cookies and the aggressively fruity center created a strangely compelling combination.

Released as a limited summer edition in 2014, these polarizing cookies inspired strong reactions. My sister declared them “an abomination against cookie-kind” while I secretly hoarded a second package. Sometimes the weirdest combinations create the most nostalgic experiences. These definitely qualified as both weird and nostalgic!

11. Banana Split Oreos

Banana Split Oreos managed to cram an entire ice cream parlor experience into a single cookie! Golden wafers sandwiched a tri-flavored filling – part strawberry, part banana, part vanilla – creating a surprisingly accurate dessert homage.

The strawberry portion tasted authentically fruity, while the banana section captured that artificial-but-delicious banana flavor we all secretly love. Small chocolate flecks throughout represented hot fudge sauce. My ice cream-obsessed daughter declared these better than actual banana splits because “they don’t melt all over your hands.”

Originally released as a summer special in 2013, these returned briefly in 2018 due to popular demand. Finding them became something of a treasure hunt, with fans sharing sighting locations online. I may have driven to three different stores after a reported “banana split Oreo sighting” in my area. Worth the gas money!

12. Pumpkin Spice Oreos

Fall isn’t official until Pumpkin Spice Oreos appear! These golden cookies sandwich orange-tinted filling that captures the essence of everyone’s favorite autumn obsession. The spiced creme contains notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove – the holy trinity of fall flavors.

Unlike many pumpkin spice products that go overboard with synthetic flavoring, these cookies show remarkable restraint. The spice level is present but not overwhelming. My annual tradition involves dunking these in hot apple cider while watching leaves fall outside my window.

First appearing in 2014, these seasonal treats now mark the unofficial start of autumn for cookie enthusiasts. The subtle pumpkin flavor paired with warm spices creates a cozy cookie experience. They’ve become my secret ingredient in fall cheesecake crusts – just don’t tell my friends who think I make everything from scratch!

13. Cotton Candy Oreos

Carnival vibes in cookie form! Cotton Candy Oreos paired golden vanilla wafers with pastel pink and blue swirled creme that magically captured the essence of spun sugar. Breaking one open revealed a filling that looked like it belonged at a gender reveal party.

The flavor scientists at Nabisco somehow bottled that distinctive cotton candy taste – sweet, vanilla-adjacent, with that characteristic burnt sugar note. My first bite triggered instant flashbacks to sticky fingers and summer fairs. The filling had a slightly grainy texture that enhanced the cotton candy illusion.

Released during summer 2015, these fairground-inspired treats divided Oreo enthusiasts. Some found them too sweet (which seems impossible for a cookie inspired by literal spun sugar), while others became obsessive fans. I belonged to the latter group, stockpiling packages to enjoy long after carnival season ended.

14. Berry Burst Ice Cream Oreos

Summer sunshine in cookie form! Berry Burst Ice Cream Oreos featured golden wafers surrounding magenta-colored filling studded with colorful candy bits meant to represent rainbow sprinkles. The visual was straight out of an ice cream parlor’s most Instagram-worthy creation.

The filling delivered a mixed berry flavor reminiscent of strawberry and raspberry ice cream, with a creamy finish that somehow conveyed “frozen treat” despite being room temperature. Those tiny candy pieces added unexpected crunch that contrasted beautifully with the smooth filling and crisp cookies.

Released during summer 2013, these treats captured the essence of a melting berry ice cream cone without the sticky hands. My daughter’s birthday party featured these alongside actual ice cream, and several kids preferred the cookies! The berry flavor was pronounced without tasting artificial – a rare achievement in fruit-flavored processed foods.

15. Creamsicle Oreos

The ice cream truck of my childhood rolled straight into cookie form with Creamsicle Oreos! Golden vanilla cookies embraced a two-toned filling – half vanilla, half orange – perfectly recreating that nostalgic frozen treat flavor profile.

The orange portion delivered authentic citrus tang rather than artificial candy flavor, while the vanilla half provided that creamy ice cream note. Together, they created summer nostalgia you could enjoy without racing after the ice cream truck. My first bite transported me straight back to sticky popsicle fingers and sunburned shoulders.

These limited edition gems appeared briefly in 2011 and again in 2018, causing minor stampedes among Oreo collectors. Finding them became a summer mission for many cookie enthusiasts. I still have an empty package saved in my “cookie memorabilia” drawer – yes, that’s a real thing in my house!

16. Candy Corn Oreos

Halloween’s most divisive candy transformed into cookie form with Candy Corn Oreos! These featured golden wafers surrounding yellow and orange layered creme that visually mimicked the iconic triangle treats. Opening the package released a sweet aroma that instantly signaled spooky season.

Flavor-wise, they captured candy corn’s distinctive honey-vanilla sweetness with remarkable accuracy. My annual Halloween party always features a blind taste test between these cookies and actual candy corn – and surprisingly, the cookies usually win! The familiar Oreo texture makes the polarizing flavor more approachable.

First appearing in 2012, these seasonal treats return each fall alongside pumpkins and ghost decorations. They’ve become part of my household’s Halloween tradition, appearing in everything from party favors to crushed cookie toppings for cupcakes. Love or hate candy corn, these cookies deserve their cult following!

17. Brownie Batter Oreos

Licking the spoon without salmonella risk! Brownie Batter Oreos combined chocolate cookies with filling that genuinely tasted like raw brownie mix – that forbidden delight from childhood baking sessions. The chocolate-on-chocolate approach created an intensity that regular Oreos can only dream about.

The filling had a slightly thicker consistency than standard Oreo creme, enhancing the illusion of actual batter. That distinctive raw cocoa flavor came through perfectly, triggering memories of sneaking tastes while mom wasn’t looking. My chocolate-obsessed brother declared these “dangerously good” and promptly ate half the package.

Released in 2015 and occasionally reappearing since, these cookies represent chocolate maximalism at its finest. They’ve become my secret weapon in chocolate trifles – crumbled between layers of pudding and whipped cream, they create a dessert that has guests begging for the recipe.

18. Swedish Fish Oreos

The cookie collaboration nobody asked for! Swedish Fish Oreos combined chocolate wafers with bright red filling that tasted exactly like those chewy candy fish. The aroma upon opening the package was unmistakable – that distinctive red berry-adjacent scent that doesn’t exist in nature.

The flavor combination was genuinely bewildering – chocolate cookies with a filling that tasted like cherry cough syrup’s sophisticated cousin. My taste buds couldn’t decide whether to be delighted or horrified. Each bite delivered chocolate followed by that distinctive Swedish Fish flavor that lingered long after the cookie was gone.

Released as a Kroger exclusive in 2016, these cookies achieved instant notoriety online. Cookie reviewers described them with terms ranging from “abomination” to “strangely addictive.” I bought them purely for novelty value but found myself reaching for “just one more” despite my better judgment. Sometimes the weirdest combinations are the most compelling!

19. Cinnamon Bun Oreos

Breakfast pastry meets cookie perfection in Cinnamon Bun Oreos! Golden cookies infused with cinnamon spice surround cinnamon-flecked frosting-flavored creme. The smell alone is worth the price – opening a package releases an aroma identical to mall food court cinnamon roll shops.

The cookies themselves contain actual cinnamon, creating a layered spice experience enhanced by the sweet frosting-inspired filling. My weekend brunch guests thought I was baking from scratch when they caught a whiff of these cookies. The flavor profile perfectly captures that gooey center part of a cinnamon roll – the best bite!

Introduced in 2016, these proved so popular they joined Oreo’s permanent lineup. They’ve become my coffee break essential, providing that cinnamon roll experience without the sticky fingers. Pro tip: warming them for 10 seconds creates an even more authentic experience, with slightly softened filling that mimics fresh-baked rolls.

20. Key Lime Pie Oreos

Florida vacation vibes in cookie form! Key Lime Pie Oreos paired graham-flavored wafers with lime-green filling that delivered that perfect balance of tart citrus and sweet cream. The graham cookies provided an authentic pie crust experience, completing the dessert illusion.

The filling captured real key lime flavor – simultaneously tangy and sweet with that distinctive citrus profile that’s more complex than regular lime. My first taste test happened during a snowstorm, and these cookies temporarily transported me to sunny beaches. The contrast between the buttery graham cookies and bright filling created perfect harmony.

Released as a summer seasonal offering in 2015, these tropical treats develop cult followings whenever they reappear. They’ve inspired countless copycat recipes from disappointed fans during off-seasons. I’ve been known to check store shelves obsessively during summer months hoping for their return. Some limited editions deserve permanent status!
