It’s the Year of Salty Oreo Cookies!
Okay, there have only been two of them so far in 2025 — the Post Malone Taste Twist Oreo with salted caramel and shortbread flavored creme and this new Limited Edition Chocolate Covered Pretzel Oreo with pretzel flavored cookies with salt and chocolate flavor creme. But who knows what the rest of the year holds? I think Oreo has something great here with these sweet and salty varieties, and the brand knows it, too.
First, at a quick glance, nothing about these suggests the wafers are pretzel-flavored. They look a bit more sun-kissed than Golden Oreo wafers, and if you look closely, there might be a salt grain here and there within the nooks and crannies of the cookie. But they give nothing away to how they might taste. Even their scent is too sweet to make me think of pretzels. While they look like the Hawaii beach cousins of Golden Oreo cookies, their flavor is noticeably different, brah. However, I don’t recognize any pretzel after trying them on their own and with the chocolate creme.
But that ended up not being a bad thing.
The dark-colored creme is similar to the standard chocolate one that Oreo has used for decades. But the addition of salt, which also appears on the creme, enhances the filling’s flavor, which in turn helps make the whole cookie taste wonderful. The goodness of sweet and salty is present with every bite, and while I can’t say there’s a bit of a pretzel, I can say these are delicious and must-buy if you’re into sweet and salty products.
Limited Edition Chocolate Covered Pretzel Oreo is one of those flavors I want to return after its limited run ends, like Cotton Candy and BLUEBERRY PIE. Dammit, when is Blueberry Pie coming back, Oreo!
Even though pretzel was supposed to be one of the highlighting flavors, I’m glad these don’t taste like they have any because I don’t think I would’ve enjoyed their sweet and salty flavor as much as I did.
Now, how about Limited Edition Chocolate Covered Potato Chip Oreo Cookies to keep the Year of Salty Oreo Cookies rolling?
