Muffins! Cakesters! Thins! Minis! This wave of Oreos has it all

I love an Oreo cookie. By extension, Snackology loves an Oreo cookie. I’ve been reviewing Oreos since I launched this newsletter, with the Oreo/Coca-Cola crossover anchoring some of my earliest coverage.

It’s only fitting that I close out 2025 with an Oreo extravaganza. A cornucopia of new and returning Oreo options. A plethora of Oreo offerings.

While I should be focusing on baking (and eating) Christmas cookies, I’ve instead chosen to tear into the wave of Oreo products that are hitting shelves this month: Oreo Muffins, Oreo Cakesters Confetti Cake, Oreo Thins Chocolate Ganache, Oreo Minis Chocolate Creme and Oreo Cookie Dough cookies.

There’s something for everyone in this new wave. Muffins! Cakesters! Thins! Minis! A returning favorite! Let’s take a journey through the wonders of this new wave before I seriously need to focus on getting some Christmas cookies going.

What they cost

On Oreo’s website, a 10-pack of Oreo Cakesters Confetti Cake is $5.59, a pack of Oreo Thins Chocolate Ganache is $5.29 and a set of two packs of Oreo Cookie Dough are $9.99. I haven’t seen pricing on Oreo Muffins or Oreo Minis Chocolate Creme.

My thoughts

I was excited to try all five of these new releases. Like I said, I love an Oreo, but these offerings all brought something beyond the classic Oreo.

Oreo Muffins

Oreos in muffin form? It was already cool enough that you could pretend Oreos were a breakfast option thanks to the pretty great Oreo Puffs, and now you can add Oreo Muffins as part of your complete breakfast.

Our daughter actually asked us the other day why she couldn’t have a cookie for breakfast but she could have a chocolate muffin. It’s a good question. I don’t make the rules. You’re just allowed to eat a chocolate cupcake in the morning if everyone agrees that it’s not a cupcake but instead a muffin.

Based on the flecks of creme on top of the Oreo Muffins, I thought there might be more elements of these muffins that honored the creme filling found in an Oreo cookie. Maybe some creme on the inside? But I guess that would make it hard to stick to the company line that these aren’t cupcakes.

A solid chocolate muffin and welcome addition to breakfast, but nothing revolutionary.

Oreo Cakesters Confetti Cake

I’ve somehow never had an Oreo Cakester, which is wild considering they were first introduced in 2007 before returning a few years ago. Oreo Cakesters Confetti Cake were my opportunity to right this wrong, and they were by far my most anticipated element of this release. I mean, who doesn’t love funfetti, I mean, confetti cake?

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I tore open one of the two-packs of Oreo Cakesters. I could instantly smell the specific sweetness that lets you know you’re about to snack on some confetti cake.

These are incredibly good. Dangerously good. They’re soft when you bite into one, with a creme center that hews much closer to cake frosting than the creme you’d find in a regular Oreo cookie.

It’s a good and bad thing that they come two to a pack. I’m definitely going to eat them both, but at least I have to make the decision to open another pack if I want a third.

Oreo Thins Chocolate Ganache

I’m torn on Oreo Thins. They’re an entirely different experience than your standard Oreo cookie. (Which, for the record, is a Double Stuf Oreo. That’s the right and proper amount of creme to have in an Oreo.) The ratio of a Thins leads to a snappier Oreo, with the paper-thin cookie sandwiching a trace of creme.

The chocolate creme in Oreo Thins Chocolate Ganache is creamier than your typical Oreo chocolate creme. (More on that in a moment.) It offers a richer — fancier? — Oreo experience that makes me feel like I should don a top hat and monocle while snacking on these cookies.

Oreo Minis Chocolate Creme

Oreo might print a serving size on the back of each bag of Oreo Minis Chocolate Creme, but I’m here to tell you that the true serving size is one bag. One entire bag of these delicious, addictive and wildly poppable little Oreo cookies.

But isn’t the chocolate creme redundant with the chocolate cookie? you might ask. No. No, it absolutely isn’t. Chocolate with chocolate is the perfect combo, and all I want to do now is pour myself a bowl of Oreo Minis and eat them like a meal.

Oreo Cookie Dough

Oreo Cookie Dough cookies are the one item in this wave that has been on shelves before. This flavor was last seen in 2014, which in today’s world was basically a different epoch. In the turbulent final days of 2025, over a decade later, the Cookie Dough Oreos are back for a limited time.

Oreo went all in when it came to invoking chocolate chip cookie dough with this variety. In addition to a “choco chip flavored cookie,” we also get cookie dough-flavored creme with, um, “choco chip inclusions.” That’s a real odd way of saying “we put chocolate chip bits in the creme filling,” but I’ll accept it if it means we get to enjoy this flavor of Oreo.

I don’t remember if I caught Cookie Dough Oreos the last time they were available, but I’m thrilled to have crossed paths with them in 2025. How could you say no to something that brings the magic of an Oreo and the legacy of a chocolate chip cookie together?
