Snack brand Nabisco has put together a new Oreo treat flavor that offers a spin-off taste of the Hostess cupcakes in cookie form. The Oreos are filled with a delicious chocolate cake inspired filling with a vanilla centre that mimics the taste of the Hostess cakes that are stuffed with a vanilla cream.
The Hostess cupcakes are an iconic childhood snack that features a dense and moist chocolate cake filled with an airy cream centre. The 'Filled Cupcake Oreo' desserts transition the chocolate and vanilla flavor in a new format with a hardened cream centre. The cookie is still designed with Oreo's branded "twist & lick" eating tradition with the chocolate and vanilla icing found sandwiched between two chocolate biscuits.
