While it may seem like every flavor of Oreos already exists, Nabisco is set to surprise (and delight) cookie fans with it's new Carrot Cake Oreos. While the new flavor may seem unusual, its release coincides perfectly with the Easter season.
Just as the name suggests, Carrot Cake Oreos combine the classic chocolate sandwich cookie with the delicious taste of carrot cake. According to early tasters, the Oreo cookies will be carrot cake-flavored and stuffed with a cream cheese-flavored cream filling. In short, the new cookies will taste like crunchy little bites of carrot cake.
For those excited to try the new flavor, Carrot Cake Oreos will reportedly hit store shelves this spring—hopefully in time for Easter.
