OREO Cotton Candy Sandwich Cookies celebrate the classic carnival treat
Walking the midway, there is no mistaking that cotton candy aroma. While some people might call it fairy floss, it is the sweet, sugary flavor that people cannot resist. Now, the OREO Cotton Candy Sandwich Cookies are here for June.
According to OREO, the Cotton Candy flavor returns after a decade. Whether it is a taste of nostalgia or just the love of that iconic flavor, the cookies have a touch of whimsy associated with them.
Sandwiched in between the golden basecake is both a pink and blue cotton candy flavored crème. This special limited time flavor is double-stufed. Just like the treat enjoyed over the warmer months, it is about going all in for extra enjoyment.
It is curious that the cookies include both blue and pink. Although each color might not have a different flavor, people might choose to eat one side over the other first. Maybe there will be some type of social media commentary over the color preference.
While OREO has launched many limited time flavors, the cotton candy option for June is smart. Not only does it bring fun to a simple cookie treat, it lends itself to dessert creations. Just think of how much tastier a summer barbecue would be with an OREO Cotton Candy dessert recipe.
Beyond a mix-in for a milkshake or a topping on a cake, these cookies could be a base for an icebox cake. Given that cotton candy is rather sweet, it might be best to find some savory notes to balance the sugar flavors.
An interesting idea might be to see how spice could pair with the sweet cotton candy. Could a sprinkle of Tajin with some cookies and cream be the creative food concept that people are craving.
Even though these cookies might not melt like traditional cotton candy, it might be interesting to see how the cookies change the flavor of milk. Whether dairy milk or plant-based milk is used for dunking, it might not be cereal milk but the combination of flavors could be a sweet dream.
The OREO Cotton Candy Sandwich Cookies are available this June. Check with retailers for availability and pricing.
