The original Oreo is perfection in cookie form, but its simple composition also makes it an excellent canvas for inventive, delicious, and sometimes wacky flavors. The mad scientists in charge of developing new Oreos have been hard at work throughout 2026, delivering craveable new spins on everyone's favorite sandwich cookie. We've hand-selected four new varieties that deserve to join the ranks of the absolute best Oreo flavors.

We took reviews and taste tests, online hype, and uniqueness into account to choose the top must-try Oreos of the year so far. The following four flavors had never been seen on shelves before 2026, so they've generated plenty of excitement, but only a few are delicious enough to truly set themselves apart. On our list, you'll find fun crossover cookies alongside unexpected flavors that borrow from famous American dishes. Food and drink releases celebrating America's 250th birthday have been all the rage in 2026, and Oreo is keeping the spirit going with some of its tastiest treats yet. Just know that all of these new flavors are limited edition, so be sure to pick up a package if you haven't tried them yet. Get ready to twist, lick, crunch, and be amazed.

With layers of banana custard, vanilla wafers, and whipped cream, classic banana pudding is a regal southern icon, and Oreo has done it justice. These limited edition cookies sandwich white and yellow layers of banana-flavored creme between vanilla Oreos. They're part of Oreo's "Twist, Lick, Vote" contest, in which fans can vote for their favorite new flavor out of three choices (the others being Deep Fried Oreo and Chicken & Waffles). The winning flavor will see a second wave release in stores, and according to reviews, Banana Pudding has a strong chance of emerging victorious.

Fans of all-banana-everything have, well, gone bananas for these new Oreos. Reviewers say they recreate the flavor of homemade banana pudding with stunning accuracy. The flavorful filling tastes just like creamy, mellow, banana-loaded custard, while the crunchy, vanilla-forward Oreos stand in perfectly for wafers. Some tasters picked up on a hint of artificial banana flavor reminiscent of Laffy Taffy or Jell-O pudding, but considering that Jell-O mix has been popularly used for banana pudding for decades, that flavor note might make these Oreos more realistic. Fans find that this flavor is even better dunked in milk for a softer texture closer to the classic dessert.

We already think adding Golden Oreos to banana pudding is a deliciously genius move, so the only thing better would be actual banana pudding Oreos. We've got to tip our hat to the "Twist, Lick, Vote" contest for making it a reality.

You don't have to be a member of the BTS ARMY to love Oreo's BTS Brown Sugar Pancake flavor. The brand released these crossover cookies as part of a global collaboration with the iconic K-pop group, with the treats launching in the United States on June 8. The flavor of these Oreos is based on hotteok, a sweet Korean pancake that's traditionally stuffed with a brown sugar filling. The cookies themselves sport an eye-catching purple color and 13 different designs created by BTS.

BTS fans obviously adore these Oreos, but so do others who have tried them. According to reviewers, the cookies really do taste like pancakes or waffles, with a flavor close to Golden Oreos. The cream adds a note of rich brown sugar-maple goodness, and contains tiny sugar crystals that add bursts of extra flavor and crunch. Despite sugar being the primary flavor, these Oreos aren't overwhelming in taste, which makes it easy to pop one after another into your mouth.

One fan on Facebook called this flavor "by far THEEEE BEST Oreos I've ever had! ... so crispy and the flavor is delicious." They added that the sugar crystals made them even better. Another customer on Reddit wrote, "Oh man these are so good. I ate almost all of them." While BTS Oreos are still available at stores including Walmart and Target as of this writing, they are limited edition, so don't miss your chance to taste everybody's new Oreo flavor bias.

You might have to suspend your disbelief for this statement: Chicken & Waffles is the best new Oreo flavor of the year according to tons of customers, even those who were skeptical at first. Another strong competitor in Oreo's "Twist, Lick, Vote" campaign, these golden cookies deliver two layers of creme infused with fried chicken and maple syrup flavors. This is easily one of the wildest Oreo cookies ever, but just like its rival Banana Pudding, it truly captures the spirit of its namesake dish.

Celery, brown sugar, cinnamon, molasses, paprika, and natural smoke flavor go into these Oreos, creating a sensation that evokes real-deal chicken and waffles – and lovers of sweet and savory flavors can't get enough. Some tasters picked up on a definite chicken note, while others say they didn't taste any meaty flavor and the savoriness is more like the well-seasoned crust around the fried poultry. The overriding flavors are a strong maple presence undercut with black pepper and a buttery waffle taste. "It's a nice maple flavor that isn't too sweet and the cookie is like a slightly salty graham cracker," one Redditor said. "The sweet and salty go so well together!"

Of course, a flavor this unusual is going to divide people, and for every fan who loves Chicken & Waffles Oreos, there's a detractor who can't taste the appeal. There's no way to tell which side you're on until you try them, and don't be too surprised if you wind up as a fan.

The third and final contender in the "Twist, Lick, Vote" popularity contest, the Deep Fried Oreo flavor is one of the more simple (yet still fun and tasty) new flavors. Inside each package, you won't find actual deep fried Oreos in a battered coating, but the cookies themselves have the flavor of fried dough with layers of dark chocolate and fried dough-flavored creme inside.

While tasters note that these Oreos are not as unique as Banana Pudding or Chicken & Waffles, that's what makes them a favorite among many customers. Instead of tasting like a grease bomb as some may expect, the cookies have a nice buttery boost that sets them apart from classic Oreos. Meanwhile, the generous layer of creme replicates the gooey center of real deep fried Oreos for an authentic taste that will transport you to a carnival. The dark chocolate creme doesn't overwhelm the fried dough flavor, creating a nice balance. This Deep Fried flavor may not be super flashy, but some smitten customers give it perfect marks.

If you miss the warm, melty goodness of a genuine deep fried Oreo, customers recommend zapping these cookies in the microwave for a few seconds. Even taste testers who didn't care for the Deep Fried Oreos at first found them exceptional when warmed up.
