With pumpkin spice dominating grocery store shelves, these Toasted Coconut Oreos are an unexpected fall treat. Nabisco is known for experimenting with unusual Oreo flavors and past varieties have included cotton candy, brownie batter and caramel apple. The latest limited-edition Oreo flavor is inspired by a tasty tropical dessert.
The limited-edition cookies feature a golden Oreo exterior with coconut-flavored creme. The creme is even infused with tiny flakes of toasted coconut for added texture. The taste of the cookie is intended to resemble coconut sponge cake. While toasted coconut is a definite departure from more traditional fall flavors, the cookies are sure to be a hit with children and adults alike.
Unfortunately the new Oreos are only available at select retailers, meaning customers may have to shop around in order to find the coconut-inspired treats.
