Oreo S’mores
Place a roasted marshmallow atop the Oreo filling that’s already in there and you just created magic.
PB&J Cookie Sandwich
Remove the bottom chocolate cookie from a Berry Creme Oreo, and the top cookie from a PB Creme Oreo and smoosh them together, creating a Peanut Butter & Jelly hybrid. Or, slather real peanut butter inside a Berry Creme Oreo. Also works well with a Strawberry Shortcake Oreo. Or, you know, a plain Oreo.
Lemon Meringue Pie
Spread marshmallow fluff on the insides of a lemon flavored Oreo (Lemon or Lemon Twist).
Cinnamon Buns
Make your own Cinnamon Bun Oreos by twisting a Golden Oreo in half and sprinkling cinnamon on the filling. Or there’s this dab move.
Oreo “Nice Cream”
Add some frozen bananas and some Oreos to a food processor and blend until it reaches soft-serve consistency. You just made the world’s easiest non-dairy ice cream. To make a milkshake, just add your favorite plant-based milk.
