OREO S’mOREO, Limited Edition

The experience

After a 4-year hiatus (2015), then another 2 (2019), and then another (2021), S’mOREO sandwich cookies are back for summer 2023.

These twistable little s’mookies are packed with s’mores flavor and can be enjoyed without the gooey mess.

The contents:

• Crisp graham cookies
• Layers of marshmallow- and chocolate-flavored OREO creme

My only question: what idiot at Nabisco dropped the ball and didn’t realize that they should be called S’moreos?

Update: A brand or product manager at Nabisco deserves a massive raise for finally doing the right thing and rebranding to S’mOREO in 2023. Hats off!

Strengths: the whole package—and oh, the graham

As I was finishing the remaining 2 cookies from the package, I shoved an entire S’moreo into my mouth. All of the flavors and textures teamed up to pretty good overall s’mores flavor.

The graham cookies on this one are 5-star show stealers. They are extra crisp and full of graham flavor—more so than I remember from earlier runs.

Weak marshmallow and shy chocolate

But who would end the conversation after discussing only the cookie part of an OREO?

While the creme layers add the texture that make OREO famous, the flavors are a tad on the bashful side. The chocolate adds enough flavor, but the marshmallow flavor could be stronger.

Girl Scout cookie comparison

All in all, the flavors in S’mOREO are much more present than the similar Girl Scout S’mores sandwich cookies. I like supporting the Scouts, but the OREO one is simply better.

I’m not sure how much longer these limited edition cookies will be around—or when we’ll see them again—so grab a package before they’re gone.
