Filled Cupcake Oreos Might Be Better Than Actual Hostess Cupcakes

It seems like Oreo releases a new flavor every month, and I don't know about you, but I'm not complaining. This year has already given us Cinnamon Bun Oreos, and things just got even more exciting with Filled Cupcake Oreos.

These Hostess-inspired Oreos are everything you want them to be. While the creaminess of the icing isn't exactly the same as the original cupcake, the combination of chocolate frosting with a dollop of vanilla in the center is the ultimate complement to the crunchy chocolate cookies (that is, if you're a serious chocolate-lover). If you prefer vanilla icing, this rich fudge-like chocolate filling might be too much for you.

Mark your calendars, because these hit sheleves nationwide Feb. 8 — just in time to treat yourself for Valentine's Day. And be on the lookout for even more Oreo flavors because as an Oreo spokesperson said in a statement, "The limited-edition process never stops. We have lots of flavor ideas just waiting to make their way to the world." I'm ready.
