From wasabi to fried chicken, it's safe to say that Oreo has come up with some surprising flavours over the years. With new variations popping up every few months – and with offerings ranging from the delectable to the dubious – there's a cookie perfectly suited to every possible palate. To prove it, we've rounded up the most amazing Oreo releases and limited-edition flavours of all time.

Click or scroll through our gallery to discover the tastiest Oreo flavours the world has ever seen – counting down to the best of them all.

We've based our ranking on the enduring popularity of each flavour in its place of origin and beyond, and on the opinions of our well-travelled (and well-fed) team. The list is unavoidably subjective.

In 2018, Oreo released a product so strange that many believed it to be fake. However, luckily for fans of the brand's more unusual flavours, it turned out to be perfectly real. For a short period of time, cookie fans were able to purchase Wasabi Oreos in China. One of Oreo's boldest creations to date, the tongue-tingling treats came filled with a spicy wasabi creme.

If you think Wasabi Oreos were a step too far, look away now! Simultaneously sweet and savoury, Hot Chicken Wing Oreos weren't for the faint of heart. The heady variety – featuring wing-flavoured creme sandwiched inside two Original chocolate biscuits – was once available in China. If you want to see what it tasted like, try pairing some classic Oreo cookies with a packet of chicken-flavoured crisps.

This eye-catching limited-edition variety consisted of two classic Golden cookies filled with a pink-and-green watermelon creme. The colourful treats debuted in 2013 – but unfortunately, those who tried them thought the watermelon flavour was a little lacking. Rather than being fresh and juicy, some said that it was overly sweet and artificial.

2014 saw the launch of a limited-edition favourite – Root Beer Float Oreos. The nostalgic treats featured a sweet root beer and vanilla–flavoured creme, sandwiched between two Golden cookies. It may sound a little unconventional, but the flavour was a big hit; fans loved the subtle root beer aftertaste. Sadly, the flavour hasn't reappeared on supermarket shelves since.

While Oreo isn't shy when it comes to trying out new flavours, it doesn't usually experiment with new shapes – preferring to keep its signature cookies recognisably round. In 2010, however, the brand released limited-edition Football Oreo biscuits, American football–shaped takes on its Original fondant-filled cookies.

Oreo is no stranger to teaming up with other cult-favourite snack brands – and this tasty collaboration with Swedish Fish was a memorable one. In 2016, the cookie company decided to surprise its US fans by releasing Swedish Fish Oreos: Original biscuit treats filled with a cherry-flavoured fondant that looked rather radioactive.

Inspired by the retro diner dessert, this limited-edition flavour hit supermarket shelves back in 2013. Each Banana Split Oreo featured a colourful strawberry and banana–flavoured creme, sandwiched between one Golden cookie and one Original chocolate biscuit. All that was missing was the cherry on top!

Lip-puckering sweets Sour Patch Kids made their way into Oreos in 2024. Flavoured like the sweet and sour candies, these sugary treats featured colourful sprinkles – both in the creme filling, and in the Golden biscuits sandwiching them together. The limited-edition flavour, which was released in the US only, was fruity, with a slightly tart bite on top of the sweetness. Tasters were divided over whether it was worth going back for more.

If you think Oreo's regular cookies aren't sweet enough as they are, you'd have loved this tooth-numbingly sugary offering, released back in 2015. Cotton Candy Oreos consisted of two Golden cookies, held together by a filling of pink-and-blue candyfloss fondant. All the fun of the fair, in one neat little bite!

This limited-edition flavour is inspired by the American kids’ dessert, dirt cake, which traditionally combines crumbled Oreo cookies, gummy worm sweets, and vanilla or chocolate pudding, creating a dirt-like consistency. A real treat of a snack, Dirt Cake Oreos launched in February 2024 – featuring Original cookies filled with both brownie-flavoured creme and chocolate creme, all topped off with playful, gummy worm–inspired sprinkles.

Candy corns are a divisive treat in the US; people either love them or hate them. Unsurprisingly, the same went for Candy Corn Oreos, which first hit supermarket shelves in 2012. The polarising limited-edition offering saw Golden vanilla cookies filled with an orange-and-yellow candy corn creme. Something must have gone right, as they've been brought back several times since. 

Featuring two Golden Oreo cookies and a seasonal gingerbread-flavoured creme filling, this limited-edition variety was released in time for 2012’s holiday season. And that’s exactly what it tasted like: Christmas! These sweetly spiced cookies proved so popular that they’ve returned to supermarket shelves in the US since, usually in the lead-up to the festive period.

Available in the US, this popular offering debuted for the first time in 2020. It's a variety that does what it says on the packet, pairing Oreo's Original chocolate cookies with a sweet, delicious caramel and coconut creme. The combination proved irresistible, with the flavour amassing a tribe of loyal fans.

In 2014, two childhood favourites were combined to create a true gem of a flavour. An ode to classic Rice Krispie Treats, limited-edition Marshmallow Crispy Oreos featured a marshmallow-flavoured creme filling – complete with crispy cereal bits – sandwiched between two Golden vanilla cookies.

In Japan, you’ll find a wide array of matcha-flavoured Oreo styles. Amongst them were these limited-edition Sakura Matcha cookies, which launched in 2020. They were introduced to coincide with Japan’s cherry blossom (Sakura) season – and they featured two pink cookies filled with a green matcha creme. They launched alongside an equally tempting Peach Oolong Tea flavour.  

In 2015, Oreo USA released a brightly coloured Key Lime Pie variety, just in time for summer. The limited-edition flavour featured rare Oreo Graham cookies, held together by a Key lime pie–flavoured creme, in homage to the classic Florida Keys dessert. Fans loved the tartness of the fondant and the buttery crunch of the biscuits.

In 2016, Mondelēz International (Oreo's parent company) asked the British public which new flavour they’d like to see from Oreo – and 43% of respondents demanded brownie batter. The result was the chocolatey, fudge-like flavour Choc'o Brownie, which is still on sale in the UK now. Brownie batter has been available as a US flavour in the past, launching in 2015, but the variety isn't currently available for Americans to get their hands on.

Released in 2011, these creamy, flavour-packed berry treats were like chocolate-covered strawberries in cookie form. Berry Burst Ice Cream Oreos saw the brand's Original chocolate cookies filled with a rich berry fondant. Oreo has dabbled with a few other ice cream–inspired varieties over the years too, including Malaysia's Orange Ice Cream flavour and the USA's Neapolitan offering (which also features on this list).

Fancy something a little different? This popular choice is guaranteed to take movie nights on the sofa up a notch. Coated in Oreo pieces, these crunchy kernels of popcorn can be found in the US only. They're the perfect combination of sweet and savoury – just like the classic cinema treat they're based on. 

The year a solar eclipse was due to occur in the US was undoubtedly the perfect time to release Space Dunk Oreos. Launched in January 2024 for a limited time, the cookies featured a galactic pink-and-blue creme filling with a marshmallow flavour. For an extra cosmic touch, popping candy was baked right into the cookies to give each bite a fizzing sensation. Even better, one lucky person could win the chance to dunk the cookies nine miles in the air by boarding the world’s first carbon-neutral spaceflight.

Strawberry shortcake is a successful limited-edition flavour that's made the rounds in the USA a couple of times since it was first introduced. A summery combination of intensely flavoursome strawberry creme filling and buttery Golden cookies, the pairing is reminiscent of the classic dessert.

Aimed at iced coffee lovers, this cookie flavour was launched in the US in April 2022. Inspired by the chocolatey coffeehouse favourite, it saw a rich layer of mocha latte fondant and a layer of caramel creme sandwiched inside two Original chocolate cookies. Irresistibly sweet, they paired perfectly with a cup of Joe.

If you prefer your filling spread a little thinner, these tiramisu-flavoured Oreo Thins could be for you. The thin, crisp biscuits are sandwiched with a little less filling than standard Oreos, and we think they work perfectly with the rich coffee flavour of the classic Italian dessert. Oreo claims you'll get fewer crumbs when you eat these thin cookies, too. Released in the US in 2024, this flavour had previously been available in China and South Korea.

Another treat designed with coffee lovers in mind, Oreo's Java Chip flavour launched in 2021 – and it was a truly tasty creation. The variety featured two Original Oreo cookies, filled with a coffee-flavoured creme loaded with crunchy chocolate chips. Who wouldn’t want to dunk one of these into a cup of coffee? 

In 2022, Oreo released this nostalgic summertime flavour in the US – and fans went wild. Inspired by the classic ice cream variety, it featured waffle cone–flavoured cookies filled with a layer each of vanilla, strawberry and chocolate fondant. They were released to coincide with National Ice Cream Day, which is celebrated annually in America on the third Sunday of July.  

Featuring two cinnamon cookies filled with a frosting-style creme, this warming, sweet flavour was well-loved – but much like many of Oreo’s limited-edition items, it was short-lived. Inspired by one of the world’s favourite pastries, Cinnamon Bun Oreos were originally released in 2016. Sadly, they haven't made a comeback since.   

Popping candy is what fireworks taste of – or at least that's what Oreo decided when it launched limited-edition Firework Oreos in 2017, just in time for America's Fourth of July celebrations. To fans' delight, the tongue-tingling treats (which, aside from the popping candy, are just like Original Oreos) have made a few comebacks since then.

Not so much a flavour as an especially Christmassy makeover, Oreo’s 2024 release for the winter holidays was double stuffed with red and green creme filling – and it came in a series of fun designs. The traditional Oreo logo was pushed aside in favour of candy canes, penguins, gingerbread men, snowmen and Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer, with cute cutouts allowing the red filling to poke through.

These brightly coloured chocolate and cream cheese cookies were taken out of circulation in 2020 – but they will live on forever in our hearts. One of the best seasonal Oreo flavours ever, they were an ode to the classic American red velvet cake. The perfect balance of tangy and sweet, they tasted almost as good as the real thing.

Brand collaborations are responsible for some of the best (and sometimes weirdest) flavour combinations out there. Happily, this is one of the best. Launched in the US in the summer of 2022, these crowd-pleasing cookies were a mash-up of two icons. Half Ritz cracker topped with peanut butter, half Oreo cookie and creme, they were wholly irresistible.

If you’re a fan of super-sweet treats, you’ll adore these Toffee Crunch Oreos. The drool-worthy cookies launched in 2022, and they've remained a popular variety ever since. To make them, two Original Oreo cookies are filled with a toffee-flavoured creme – complete with sugar crystals, which give them their signature crunch. 

This seasonal favourite, first released in the US for Christmas 2020, was something special. After all, what could be more indulgent than Oreo cookies filled with layers of brownie, cookie dough and Original creme? The flavour-packed variety makes a return to supermarket shelves every now and again – but die-hard fans frequently call for it to become a mainstay. 

This fabulous cookie creation first launched in the US in 2018 as a limited-edition flavour – but it proved so popular that Oreo brought it back the following summer. Taking inspiration from the fruity dessert, Blueberry Pie Oreos were another variety that featured cult-favourite Graham cookies. The filling was a muted blue colour, with a delicious blueberry taste.

Take two Original Oreo cookies, double up on the fillings – combining chocolate and marshmallow – and you'll get a treat that tastes just like a mug of hot chocolate. Hot Cocoa Oreos quickly became a favourite; however, the festive variety took a five-year hiatus between its release in 2018 and 2023, when it next appeared on shelves. Fortunately for fans of the seasonal filling, the cookies came back again in 2024.

Oreo’s signature vanilla creme has a cult following of its own – so it's no surprise that fans were thrilled when the brand released its The Most Stuf variety in 2019. These fully loaded cookies contain about four times as much creme filling as standard Oreos. As you'd expect, they're absolutely delicious (and brilliant for dunking).

This may not be the most outrageous flavour Oreo has ever launched – but it was one of its most popular. The lemon-laced variety was among a slew of limited-edition cookies released by the brand in 2012. The sweet vanilla notes of the Golden biscuits paired perfectly with the tangy lemon creme filling, and they were such a success that they made a comeback the following year.

All the fun of roasting s'mores over a fire, but without a tent or flame in sight! That's what this limited-edition flavour brought cookie fans when it debuted in the US in 2015. S'mOreos consist of two Graham cracker cookies, filled with layers of chocolate and marshmallow creme – and they continue to be a bestseller to this day.

Taking Original Oreo cookies up a notch, Oreo Twists feature two classic biscuits, either filled with a vanilla and raspberry creme or a vanilla and caramel creme. The cookies launched in the UK in 2022 and are still available from major UK supermarkets. What better varieties to practice the twist, lick and dunk routine with?

Oreo has made it its mission to reach a wide variety of customers – which is why its Original cookies are both vegan and kosher. The brand has also released Gluten Free Oreos, which fans say are just as tasty as the classic version. Not only that, but you can buy them in both regular and Double Stuf (with extra filling) varieties.

Inspired by the classic cinnamon sugar treats you’d typically find at a fairground, this US-only flavour was released in March 2024. The fried dough–flavoured cookies come complete with a churro-inspired creme filling – and as you’d expect, they're incredibly sweet. Oreo superfans may recognise Churro Oreos from a competition the brand launched in 2019; people were challenged to identify a mystery flavour (which turned out to Churro) for the chance to win $50,000.

Jumping on the autumnal pumpkin spice trend, Oreo launched this seasonal treat across the US in 2014. The variety was discontinued in 2017, only to be brought back five years later. Now available each year as the leaves start to turn brown, Pumpkin Spice Oreos consist of two Golden cookies, filled with a rich pumpkin spice-flavoured creme. Dunk one in a mug of coffee for a cold-weather taste sensation.

Oreo launches a festive flavour every Christmas – but we think this delicious White Fudge Covered offering takes the crown. Here, Original Oreo cookies are dunked into a sweet white fudge, forming a tasty hard shell. The flavour has popped up on supermarket shelves for the last few years, and it continues to be a popular holiday choice in the US. 

Oreos transformed into a cake? Yes, please! This soft-baked twist on the classic treat first launched in 2007, but disappeared in 2012 – much to fans' dismay. However, Cakesters made a triumphant return to supermarkets in late 2022, along with an equally delicious salty-sweet version: Nutter Butter Cakesters. 

Launched in 2015, the Oreo Thins range has been popular for almost a decade. Crispy and delicious, Thins are 66% thinner than classic Oreos. They come in a whole host of flavours, including Original, Golden and Lemon. They're no longer available in the UK, but you can still get your hands on them in the US.  

They say that less is more – but we don't think this applies to Oreos. The Most Oreo Oreo, a limited-edition favourite that launched in 2023, featured cookies that were quite literally full of themselves. It's exactly as it sounds; Original Oreo cookies were stuffed with a filling of crumbled Oreos and creme. The extravagant offering went down a storm with fans.

How do you eat your Original Oreos? You might do the 'twist and lick' or dunk them in milk – or perhaps you follow in the footsteps of Hallie and Annie from the 1998 film The Parent Trap and dip them into peanut butter? Oreo brought this salty-sweet flavour combination to life when it launched its amazingly popular Peanut Butter variety, which sees a delicious peanut butter creme sandwiched between two Original cookies. You can also buy Double Stuf Peanut Butter Oreos and Peanut Butter Oreo Cakesters.

Oreos filled with chocolate creme are a classic sweet treat – but did you know that the cookie brand didn't release this flavour until 2001? Over 20 years later, Chocolate Oreos are as popular as ever, all thanks to that extra-rich, ultra-chocolatey flavour. They're now available across the globe. Perfect dunking material!

It was only a matter of time before Oreos got a minty makeover. Mint Oreos were first introduced as a limited-edition flavour in 1985 – but since they joined Oreo's permanent flavour lineup, they've been one of the brand's bestsellers. Nowadays you can get the minty fresh flavour in a few of Oreo’s signature varieties, like Double Stuf and Thins.

It’s hard to imagine the world of biscuits without Oreo’s Golden variety. The craveable cookies first launched in 2004, and they've been delighting cookie fans ever since. Their beauty lies in their simplicity; each treat consists of two vanilla cookies filled with a classic Oreo creme. Nowadays you can get Golden Oreos in a whole host of different forms, including Thins and Minis.  

These legendary cookies first came onto the scene in 1974. Though they were initially only available in the US, they're now sold in multiple countries around the world – though they're not always known by the same name (in the UK, they're called Double Creme Oreos). They're just like Original Oreos, but they come fully loaded with twice the amount of creme.  

You simply can't beat an Original Oreo. These classic cookies have been a household staple since launching in the US in 1912 – and over a century later, they're enjoyed all over the world. Featuring two chocolate-flavoured cookies filled with a sweet vanilla creme, these iconic treats are as loved today as they were back in the old days.
