What are Dark Chocolate Fudge Covered Oreo Cookies?
It’s dark chocolate-flavored creme sandwiched between two chocolate cookie wafers and then covered in a dark chocolate coating (AKA “fudge” – a note on this below).
How are they?
They are a satisfying and chocolatey treat! Although the cookie concoction has internal (creme) and external (fudge coating) dark chocolate, there’s not a strong dark chocolate presence. It’s enough to know you’re enjoying dark (vs. milk) chocolate but there’s no bitterness that can accompany some darker chocolate products. Like most Oreo, the product is a little crumbly and has a nice crunch from the cookie pieces.
Is there anything else you need to know?
One of my favorite parts of a classic Oreo is the creme vs. cookie contrast. In this product, the creme (with its dark chocolate flavoring) gets kind of lost in all the other chocolate. I’m not complaining as I like chocolate and I enjoyed eating these, but just a heads up if the creme vs. cookie Oreo dichotomy is important to you. Also, as has been previously noted, the “fudge” covering isn’t really fudge but more of a thin chocolate layer covering everything.
Conclusion:
It’s a chocolatey treat that’s somewhere between an Oreo and piece of (dark) chocolate. There’s only 12 in a package so think of them as a relatively more expensive treat (~33 cents/cookie vs. ~8 cents/cookie for standard Oreo). The taste is definitely enough to satisfy a choco craving, but maybe not enough to satisfy an Oreo craving.

Woooah. There are like 12 whole cookies. (sarc)
I’ve had the chocolate-on-chocolate Oreo concoctions before and, IMHO, they can just become such a chocolate overload without a contrasting ingredient that the joy of chocolate gets lost. For variety and a change, great–but amazing how good the original Oreo cookie got it.
Agree! The original Oreo is perfection.
For those of us who are not sure there even is such a thing as “too much chocolate”, I cannot wait to find these locally. Between this and finding that The Most Stuff Oreos are back in single serve packages, it’s a good week for Oreos!
If they made a Most Stuf dark chocolate covered oreo, then the cream wouldn’t get lost. Problem solved!
i want to try the caramel coconut oreos
