A New Jersey bakery called the 'Bagel Nook' recently began making headlines for its ultra-sweet 'Oreo Overload' bagels. While it may seem like nothing can recreate the viral sensation caused by rainbow bagels, this brand new bread-based creation seems to have garnered just as much attention.
The Oreo Overload flavor consists of a vanilla-chocolate swirled bagel, stuffed with cookies and cream-flavored cream cheese and full-sized Oreo cookies. Designed to taste just like the iconic chocolate sandwich cookie, the new bagel is more of a sweet treat than a healthy lunch or breakfast option. For those looking for something a little less decadent, the bakery also sells micro-batch cream cheese in flavors such as Maple Bacon and Jalapeño Cheddar.
The new cookie-flavored bagel is indicative of the ongoing popularity of hybrid foods and Instagram-worthy dishes.
