Anna, from Cookie Madness, made a great find the other day at her local supermarket in Austin: Dulce de Leche Oreos. These limited edition cookies aim to pair a slightly milky caramel-flavored cream filling with the classic chocolate wafer cookies of Oreos, though Anna said that the filling tasted mostly buttery with only notes of caramel.
For some reason, the limited edition cookies are not listed on the main Oreo website, though they do get a brief mention on the wiki entry for Oreos and I finally found them listed on the Comida Kraft site, Kraft's spanish-language counterpart, which may be an indication that the cookies are not going to be mass marketed in quite the same way that the peanut butter and mint chocolate Oreos were when those flavors were first released. And buttery or not, the chocolate/caramel combination still sound like a promising one for Oreos, so keep an eye out for them.

I was not impressed by the dulce de leche Oreos. The filling was too stiff and the flavor was not caramel at all!

We had some brought in to us by our Director of Sensory here at work in South Central Wisconsin, and I have to admit, they were quite tasty. The entire box was gone within a matter or minutes of it being opened.

I just bought a box on Saturday. We love them! They are so rich we can only eat two each with a glass of milk ;-)

I saw them in Target(newport News, VA) a few weeks ago. Almost bought them, but decided against it.

They're too rich for my taste. I can't eat more than 2. IMO, Oreos are meant to be eaten in mass quantities!

I bought a box yesterday for my college-sophomore brother and took them by his apartment. After popping a whole one in his mouth, he said, "That's...pretty gross, Sis. THANKS."
He had me try one, and I almost spat out the first bite. The creme tasted like scalded caramel, not Dulce de Leche. (I was still tasting it an hour later.) I won't be buying them again.

It tasted rather like butterscotch to me. I love dulce de leche. These cookies, not so much.

bought a box in washington, dc and LOVED them. do agree they're more butterscotch-y than dulce de leche, but delicious none-the-less. hope they'll become a permanent item.
