Alfajor Oreo Cookies

Milka is a European confectionery company owned by Kraft Foods, and since Oreo Cookies are made by the Nabisco division of that self-same Kraft Foods, it was only a matter of time before Milka and Oreo teamed up… and how sweet it is! Milka Paradise by Oreo are Alfajor-style cookies, meaning a three-cookie, two-chocolate-creme-filling Oreo dipped in milk chocolate. Can you say OM NOM NOM? We knew you could!

Alfajors are a world-wide fattening phenomenon and Milka makes several varieties besides Oreo. You’ll have to go to Argentina, again, to snarfle up more Oreo-like alfajors called, er, Alfajor Oreo. Fans of the triple-decker treats have been known to put them in the freezer and then spread peanut butter on top. Elvis (the older, bloated version) would approve!
Oreo Star Cookies

Oreo Star cookies are from Indonesia and once again Kraft has done their homework, ascertaining that Indonesians prefer sweeter cookies than those formulated for sale in China. With that said, Oreo Star cookies promise more but deliver less: there’s only a single chocolate cookie topped with crème trimmed into a star shape. Fine for dieters perhaps but foodies won’t vote them onto any snacker’s walk of fame.
Triple Double Oreo Neapolitan Cookies

Think of Triple Double Oreo Neapolitan cookies as an alfajor that’s been Americanized, Italian-style. Introduced in the summer of 2011, Triple Double Oreo Neapolitans appeal most to those who just can’t eat regular Oreos fast enough. Each package contains just 18 cookies, each one packing 110 calories, 4.5 grams of fat, 8 grams of sugar and 15 grams of carbs – and they aren’t even chocolate-dipped!

As for the fillings, you get one layer of strawberry crème and another of chocolate crème sandwiched between a total of three “golden” vanilla cookies… sort of a very small, very sweet Big Mac. The mathematical combinations Oreo eaters can construct from Triple Double Oreo Neapolitan cookies are almost uncountable but eminently edible.

Since everyone deserves a second chance, it’s back to Indonesia and Oreo Blueberry Ice Cream cookies! Along with their near-twin Orange Ice Cream flavor, these are normally constructed Oreos with the creamy filling sandwiched between a pair of chocolate cookie halves.
Birthday Cake Oreo Cookies

Happy Birthday Oreo! Birthday Cake Oreo cookies were introduced on March 6th or 2012, a century to the day from the introduction of original Oreo cookies. Nabisco’s gone the extra mile ensuring these cookies show due respect to Oreo tradition, incorporating creamy Double Stuf filling embedded with rainbow sprinkles sandwiched between a pair of specially embossed birthday chocolate cookies.

Meet Birthday Cake Golden Oreo Fudge Cremes, the bleached brother of Birthday Cake Oreo cookies. Oreos in name only, these limited edition confections consist of a single vanilla cookie covered in cloyingly sweet fudge crème drizzled with colorful sprinkles. Testers state the fudge tastes “waxy”… next time, try one before you light the birthday candles.
Rainbow Pride Oreo Cookies

It’s hard to imagine what the product planners at the National Biscuit Company circa 1912 would think of today’s Oreo cookies’ exceptional variety and diversity. Speaking of which, we’ll close with an awesome Oreo that never existed actually, just virtually: the Rainbow Pride Oreo! Looking a lot like a smaller, sweeter, more colorful cousin of Burger King Japan’s Windows 7 Whopper, this all-inclusive Oreo would be a nightmare to package – what, like 6 cookies per box? – but a dream to eat.
