Whether you twist, dunk, or just eat one, Oreo is the iconic sandwich cookie that always satisfies. While there will always be a special space for the classic flavor, the new, limited time offerings have dessert food fans running for that first taste. The newest offering, Chocolate Covered Pretzel, is sweet, salty, and sensational. Plus, it has an ingredient that Oreo has never used before.
Recent, limited time Oreo offerings have focused on transforming favorite desserts into a sandwich cookie. Infusing dual flavors in that creme or folding in some popping crystals have been quite popular. While creativity is enticing, one aspect has yet to be front and center, until now.
The new Oreo Chocolate Covered Pretzel cookie captures that sweet and salty element with one important ingredient, salt. The cookie is topped with salt. This choice not only captured the essence of a chocolate covered pretzel; it enhances the sweetness.
The idea of a sweet and savory cookie is smart for Oreo. It opens the conversation to innovative and trending flavors. While hot honey might not be the next offering, there are ways to bring nuttiness to that classic creme or potentially an even bolder flavor. It is more than peanut butter and jelly, From a butter pecan or even a pistachio, there are many possibilities.
Thinking about this the Chocolate Covered Pretzel, it would be perfect with ice cream. Unlike traditional pretzels that can get soggy or lose their crunch, Oreos work well folded into that creamy dessert. Or, consider layering the cookies as a crust for cream pie or a brownie topping. That salty note will enhance any dessert recipe.
The new Oreo Chocolate Covered Pretzel flavor hits store shelves on May 5, for a limited time. Check with retailers for availability and pricing.
