Oreo has teamed up with Dunkin’ Donuts for mocha Oreos, which hit store shelves all over the country this week.
The cookies are a limited edition flavor made to taste like Dunkin’ Donuts mocha-flavored coffee. They're available nationwide and seem marketed to summer, since they are pictured with an iced mocha on the front of the package.
Oreos have branched out with many new flavors in recent months, including blueberry pie, Swedish Fish, jelly donut, and a fireworks flavor with popping candy in the icing.
Dunkin’ Donuts has offered Oreo hot chocolate, Oreo Coolatas, and Oreo-crusted donuts in the past.
Food & Wine called the new cookies “a more refined, adult take on the classic,” while PopSugar commented on the strong espresso taste in the icing and said they would be “one of the best Oreo flavors of 2017.
News of the mocha Oreo flavor was leaked in April.
Oreo is trying to get ideas from its social media followers with a hashtag campaign #MyOreoCreation for new and delicious flavors it hasn’t already tried. According to Mashable, Oreo has made small amounts of some of the suggested flavors and sent them to the suggesters, including cherry cola Oreos, unicorn Oreos, and avocado Oreos.
Fans were understandably excited about the new flavor.
