Brownie Batter Oreos [1] ($5) are finally here! The latest limited-edition flavor [2] features the standard cocoa Oreo cookie sandwiched around a brownie batter filling. While Oreo's highly anticipated s'mores [3] flavor wasn't our favorite, we had high hopes for the new brownie batter flavor. But does the filling actually taste like brownie batter?
Our tasters admitted the texture had a rich, batter-like consistency to it. Some agreed the filling resembled brownie batter, while others couldn't distinguish the distinct batter-y flavor. Half of the reviewers praised these Oreos as better than the original; while others admitted the new Oreos are delicious, but they didn't blow them away.
To make sure Oreo wasn't repackaging its chocolate creme flavor, we did a side-by-side taste test. The chocolate creme has the texture and flavor of icing, while the brownie batter takes on a fudgier texture and cocoa-rich flavor. Overall, we preferred the brownie batter.
