Just as the holidays are approaching, Oreo has introduced a new holiday twist to its snack cake collection. Oreo Cakesters Gingerbread Flavor Soft Snack Cakes have arrived in stores this week and were met with a mix of reactions on Instagram. One of them said the new flavor was a heavenly one. Let’s take a closer look at the cookie brand’s limited edition.
Oreo debuts gingerbread Cakesters
Oreo Cakesters Gingerbread Flavor Soft Snack Cakes are a limited-edition item this holiday season. The snack cakes have been available at stores this week, with initial feedback from shoppers indicating they’ve caught on to them soon. It is a limited release, and won’t be a part of the Cakesters permanent line.
What Oreo Cakesters are
Don’t think of crunchy sandwich cookies when you think of Oreo; Cakesters are a different type of cookie. They’re typically cake-like treats stuffed with cream and are soft. The gingerbread version is the latest of the line to be updated, which was relaunched and refocused earlier this year.
The gingerbread twist
The edition that has been released as a limited edition is a gingerbread flavored version of the regular chocolate version. Gingerbread is usually made with warm spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger and clove, which are the same spices that are used to make pumpkin spice. The primary difference from the standard version is the change in flavour.
The creme filling stays the same
In this version, Oreo preserved the creme filling that is characteristic of its previous Oreo’s. The change relates only to the flavor of the cake, from chocolate to gingerbread. The format and filling remain the familiar Cakesters, with the flavor being new.
What comes in each box
There are ten snack cakes in each box, and each box has 5 packs of snack cakes. They come in single-serving sizes, making them convenient to bring to school in your lunch bag or snack bag. The site noted for Allrecipes said it “might” serve as a stocking stuffer for the holidays, too.
First seasonal Cakesters release since the relaunch
This is the first seasonal Cakesters release since the change in product format and reformulation launched earlier this year according to an Oreo spokesperson. The gingerbread taste is a new addition to the line, which has been re-released in the new form since then.
Where to find them
The snack cakes are available now in limited U.S. and Canadian stores. They’re already starting to be seen on store shelves. The release is and will be in select stores, availability may vary from store to store.
