Layered Cold Weather Cookies

The Hot Cocoa Oreo Cookies are Here Only for the Fall/Winter

The Hot Cocoa Oreo Cookies have been announced by the brand as a tasty new treat option that has been created to mimic the satisfying flavor of a warm cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter day.

The cookies feature a layered design that has a brown layer of cocoa-flavored creme along with a marshmallow-flavored one that are both sandwiched between the classic Oreo cookies. This creates a treat that is ideal for enjoying when the weather gets cold with a hot drink of your choice.
