Spooky Edition Oreo (Tesco) By @Cinabar

Would anyone like to guess what flavour these new Spooky Edition Oreo biscuits are? I’ll give you a clue, they have a bright orange filling. A first guess might be that they’re orange-flavoured to match the colour, but you’d be wrong. Maybe pumpkin spice, which would fit the Halloween theme perfectly? Nope, wrong again. These seasonal biscuits are, wait for it… vanilla! Yes, the same flavour as regular Oreos. I have to admit, I was a bit disappointed when I found out.

On the positive side, the biscuits do feature a fun spooky pumpkin design moulded into the cookie, which adds a nice Halloween touch. The bright orange filling, though not flavoured, certainly adds to the Halloween vibes and is visually striking. And of course, the Oreo biscuit itself tastes great, it’s the classic chocolate and vanilla combo that’s always a winner, and one I buy regularly. There's even a bonus: a discount offer for Warwick Castle, which is a nice perk!

But honestly, what would have made these Spooky Edition Oreos truly special is if they had a limited-edition seasonal flavour. Oreo is known for releasing fun, unique flavours, so it feels like a missed opportunity here. Pumpkin spice, caramel apple, or even something completely unexpected could have added that extra "wow" factor to the Halloween experience. While the biscuits are still enjoyable, I can’t help but wish for something a bit more creative.
