The cookies start off with the brand's signature cookies that are paired with a brownie-flavored creme on top of a layer of additional chocolate creme and an Oreo wafer crumb. The cookies are then finished with [gummy worm-inspired sprinkles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-loaded) as a nod to the candies often used as a finishing touch on the muddy dessert. The Oreo Dirt Cake cookies will make their way onto retailer shelves starting March 4, 2024 but will only be around for a short while as long as stock lasts.
