Obviously they're perfection on their own, but with so many outrageously delicious recipes out there, it would be a shame not to utilize them in a few classics, like a Spiked Mint Oreo Milkshake. The following 40 recipes are over the top, toothsome and incredibly delicious — perfect for a weekend baking sesh before family movie night. Grab a cup of coffee and settle in, because we're diving into the best Oreo desserts made with everyone's favorite cookie.

Black Magic Bars

Chocolate Oreo Bundt Cake Dessert

Ultra-moist chocolate sponge cake is the perfect vehicle for crunchy Oreo chunks. Finish with a drizzle of vanilla glaze and another sprinkle of Oreo crumbs, and you’ve got a simple cake perfect for any occasion. (via Marsha’s Baking Addiction)

A rich and creamy mousse that requires only five ingredients is a date-night win. Make sure you start early, because it needs to be refrigerated for several hours for optimal texture. (via A Pumpkin and a Princess)

Cookies and Cream Cupcakes

These cupcakes have a surprise filling of luscious Oreo cream cheese that oozes out with the first bite. (via Wild Wild Whisk)

Ultimate Cookies and Cream Oreo Cake

Fried Oreos are a southern state fair staple. When the craving hits and you don’t want to mess with hot oil, try this baked version that’s unbelievably easy and made with ingredients you probably already have on hand. (via Something Swanky)

No-Churn Oreo Peppermint Ice Cream

Even without an ice cream machine, you can have the velvety cold treat anytime you like. This no-churn recipe uses just seven ingredients, including crushed candy canes and huge pieces of Oreo, for a refreshing take on cookies n’ cream ice cream. (via A Cookie Named Desire)

Nutella Oreo Cookies

Now you don't have to choose between your beloved Oreos and Nutella. Not that you ever could, but surely it's nice knowing that there's an option for indulging in both at the same time. (via The Sassy Life)

Oreo Cookies and Cream Rocky Road

Nothing is better than making your own candy bars at home. The best part is that you can jam-pack them with as many Oreos as you please. Four ingredients is all you need, so no skimping here! (via Sweetest Menu)

Oreo Cheesecake Brownie Bars

These mile-high brownie-cheesecake hybrids are nothing short of amazing. Follow each and every step, and you’ll be rewarded with an Oreo-filled dessert that will be a favorite for years to come. (via Miss Hangry Pants)

No-Bake Oreo Mille Crepe Cake

The word “mille” means “thousands” in French. While this cake may not have quite a thousand layers, there are definitely enough to warrant its creation as an astonishing feat. Between the chocolate crepes, vanilla whipped cream and crushed cookies, this cake tastes like a giant, fluffy slice of milk-soaked Oreo bliss. (via Eugenie Kitchen)

Chocolate and Oreo Brittle Cupcakes

If you’re wondering where Oreo brittle has been your whole life, join the club. It lends a welcomed crunch to the tops of these cupcakes and makes a great snack. You’re going to want to make extra, because you’ll be munching on it the whole time you’re decorating your cupcakes. (via Whisk Kid)

Cookies and Cream Popcorn

Your binge-watching marathons will never be the same once you’ve done it with a bowl of this popcorn sitting on your lap. Props for a recipe that is both fun to make and fun to eat, and achieves that perfect balance of salty and sweet. (via Erica’s Sweet Tooth)

Oreo Bundt Cake

This gorgeous, two-toned Oreo cake stands out from the crowd. Using black cocoa for the batter gives the cake that dark Oreo color, and the stark white marshmallow glaze mimics the cream filling. (via Liv for Cake)

Oreo Cheesecake Bites

At first glance, these bite-sized desserts might look like just your ordinary piece of chocolate. Don’t judge a book by its cover, because once you take that first bite you’ll instantly be swept away into a creamy Oreo cheesecake abyss. Try freezing them for a sweet treat whenever the craving strikes. (via Tastes Better from Scratch)

Oreo Macarons

Completely transform the classic Oreo into an elegant macaron with the same Oreo flavor. Seriously, when you fill your macarons with buttercream made from the filling of 12 Oreos, there’s no way it’s not going to be amazing. (via Liv for Cake)

Oreo Brownie Swirl Cheesecake

As if cheesecake wasn’t rich enough… it would only makes sense to add an Oreo crust and brownie batter swirl. Then, of course, you have to top it with melted chocolate and more crushed Oreos for good measure. Get your glass of milk ready — you’re definitely gonna need it. (via Yummy Crumble)

Oreo Peanut Butter Brownies

Who could forget that moment in the 1998 version of The Parent Trap when Lindsay Lohan’s character announced that she dips her Oreos in PB? If your life was forever changed after that, these brownies are for you. Double Stuf Oreos are totally necessary. (via Cook. Craft. Love.)

Oreo Brownies

When your Oreo brownies are so packed with Oreos that you can’t tell where the brownie part is… you know you’re doing a good job. Serious chocolate lovers will drool at the mere sight of these bad boys. (via Go Go Go Gourmet)

Oreo Cheesecake Fudge

The secret ingredient to this easy Oreo fudge? Instant cheesecake pudding mix. Mix this up before bed, and when you wake up you’ll have a rich cookies n’ cream dessert that only you know took minutes (we won’t tell). (via Center Cut Cook)

Mint Oreo Truffles

Oreo truffles are a phenomenon that has gained immense popularity in the last few years, and for good reason. This interpretation uses mint chocolate chips to give the truffles an added flavor that enhances the Oreo and cream cheese core. (via Swanky Recipes)

Easy Oreo Churros Recipe

You can make these Oreo Churros in two different ways: in traditional rod form, which is dipped in the cream filling, or in cookie sandwich form, with the creme filling in the middle. Either way you choose, you’re in for a truly unique Oreo snacking experience. (via Kirbie’s Cravings)

Double Glazed Krispy Kreme Oreo Cake Doughnuts

Surprise your (some) kids with a big batch of these copycat Oreo donuts, and you'll win the hearts of everyone. Don't skimp on that glaze; double is always better. (via Dinner, Then Dessert)

The Croissookie Oreo Dessert Idea

Fancy bakery purchase? No way! These croissant cookies may look like they came from a French bakery, but they’re actually incredibly easy to make. Hiding inside of these babies is a whole soft and warm Oreo, just waiting to be devoured. (via Sugar and Soul)

Oreo Cheesecake Cake

You read that right. This is a chocolate cake with a whole Oreo cheesecake in the middle. It even has that recognizable sandwiched look the Oreo is known for. You can opt to go bare so you can see the layers, or cover in a coat of chocolate ganache for that extra chocolate flavor. (via I Am Baker)

Mint Chocolate Covered Oreos

Step up your favorite Christmas confection with a little bit of mint action and flaky sea salt, and enjoy them all year long. Stack these little treats up and package them for a sweet homemade gift. (via Broma Bakery)

Skinny Oreo Cheesecake Dessert

Use this dish as a creamy dip to scoop with Oreo Thins, or simply enjoy with a spoon. Either way, this guilt-free treat (made with nonfat Greek yogurt) will satisfy even the most intense craving. (via Crazy for Crust)

Ultimate Cookies and Cream Layer Cake

Set aside a whole package of Oreos, because that’s what you’re going to need for this monster of a cake. It’ll take a while to make this complicated confection, but you’ll never be sorry after you bite into it. (via Beth Cakes)

Vegan Triple Layered Ooey-Gooey Oreo Brownies

The fact that these brownies are vegan is pretty mind blowing. Layers of chewy cookie dough, softened Oreos and chocolatey brownies make these an absolutely perfect hand-held dessert for all. (via My Vibrant Kitchen)

Ombre Chocolate Oreo Cake

There's something so satisfying about creating a cake as beautiful as this one. Using varying amounts of crushed Oreos to make the gorgeous rustic ombre design in the frosting is so easy, delicious and absolutely stunning. (via Chocolate + Connie)

Hold Up, Did Rebecca Yarros' First 'Onxy Storm' Excerpt Just Tease Violet Sorrengail's True Identity?

Fans of Fourth Wing are on pins and needles because Rebecca Yarros just announced she's finished writing the third book in the Empyrean series! It's us, we're fans — along with over half of BookTok.

We can't believe we're getting closer to reading more about Violet Sorrengail's journey, but we know you have a ton of burning questions about the release date for Book No. 3.

We may not have all the answers, but we've done a little digging to share as much as we can because who doesn't want to know what Rebecca Yarros has been up to?

I'm new to the Empyrean series. Are "Fourth Wing" and "Iron Flame" really worth reading?

Amazon

I'm not going to lie to you. The editorial team, including myself, are extremely biased about Fourth Wingand Iron Flame. From my perspective, I think these are great books for anyone who had the pleasure of growing up during the great Harry Potter era and moved on to watchingGame of Thrones and House of Dragons.

Did she announce the name of book no. 3?

Rebecca Yarros/Instagram

YES! Book No. 3 is titled Oynx Storm.

Knowing what we do about the manifestation of Violet's powers, I think this could hint she's going to play an even larger role in the series. According to a fan theory shared on TikTok(via Empyrean Riders), it's believed that Violet and Xaden Riorson are actually gods. Stay with me here.

Empyrean Riders noted that Violet's last name means heavenly and that she's able to control time thanks to her connection to the young dragon Andarna (I love her so much!). That sounds pretty god-like to me.

And when asked which two Taylor Swift songs describe Onyx Storm, Rebecca Yarros chose "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?" from The Tortured Poets Department and "So It Goes..." from Reputation. "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?" is one of Taylor's most powerful songs and definitely translates the idea that Violet's powers are going to be stronger than ever, while "So It Goes..." is equal parts suspense and seduction, and is TOTALLY about "all the pieces fall right into place" to get together with the right person.

There's so much more to unpack so I suggest grabbing a yummy snack while you fall down the rabbit hole. All I'm sure of is that Onyx Storm is going to leave our emotions in shambles just like Fourth Wing and Iron Flame did.

When did Rebecca Yarros announce she's done writing book no. 3 in the series?

Rebecca Yarros/Instagram

On June 17, Rebecca Yarros shared this image of her laptop to indicate she'd finished the third book in the Empyrean series.

She wrote, "(Pic from one of the very many locations in which this book was written)," towards the end of the caption before adding a few relevant hashtags to it.

When will Onxy Storm be available for purchase?

Rebecca Yarros/Instagram

Rebecca Yarros exclusively told Good Morning America that fans can expect the book to hit shelves January 21, 2025! That gives us a little over six months to prepare our emotions for what's sure to be a storm of a book.

She said, "There will be politics, new adventures, old enemies and of course, dragons." There's no way she could forget the dragons because I'd willingly riot over them. They deserve to have their stories told forever.

As luck would have it, Cosmopolitan received an exciting first look at what's to come in Onyx Storm. The excerpt begins with Violet realizing the Venin have found their way into Basgiath War College and are wreaking havoc. Alongside Rhiannon, Sawyer, and Ridoc, she races to stop the Venin from releasing Jack Barlowe from his prison cell.

However, Violet's shocked when she discovered one of the "dark wielders" has a long silver braid that closely resembles her own. Before she can fully react, the woman disappears. According to Screen Rant, there are possible theories about why Violet saw her and what this means for her growing power.

Towards the end of the excerpt, Violet discovers the Venin want to capture her too. Also, Xaden makes his long-awaited appearance and it's clear their playful banter in the face of danger hasn't changed. That he hasn't fully changed into the Venin Violet's used to seeing.

I officially can't wait to read the rest of the book in January!

Has Rebecca Yarros revealed the cover for Onyx Storm?

Today/Bree Archer, Elizabeth Turner Stokes for Entangled Publishing

Onyx Storm

Yes!

TODAY received an exclusive look at the cover for Onyx Storm and it doesn't disappoint! Unlike its predecessors, it appears Rebecca Yarros is hinting that darker events will take place.

Fans of the Empyrean series aren't the only ones who are excited to see what fate has in store for our favorite characters though. In a statement to TODAY, Rebecca revealed how elated she is to be working on the series again. "It's amazing to be back with these characters again. She also said, ""I can't wait for readers to see what Violet, Xaden, and the rest of the quadrant have in store for them in Onyx Storm!"

WHICH Movie Had Kate Winslet "Sh—ing" Herself?!

Kate Winslet is THE Hollywood actress to me. Not only has she starred in box office smashes like Titanic and Avatar: Way of Water, but she's proven her acting chops in breakout indie flicks and provided mothers and daughters everywhere with eternal Christmas movie nights thanks to The Holiday. But the actress' consistently viral kindness, her dedication to embracing her natural beauty, and her sophistication don't mean she always feels confident. Kate Winslet just spilled on the one movie from her career that had her "sh—ing" herself, and I just had to dive in.

Here's what Kate Winslet had to say about her scariest movie experience ever.

  • Kate Winslet made a name for herself with Titanic, Sense & Sensibility, and The Holiday.
  • However those movies aren't the film she wants fans to ask about!
  • The actress spills on the movies she's proud of, and the one job that had her "sh—ing myself."

Talking to Vanity Fair for her newest film Lee, Kate Winslet revealed one project she wishes fans asked about more is Iris. The 2001 film stars Kate as a young Iris Murdoch against Judi Dench's older counterpart. And for Kate, nothing was more terrifying than working with such a wonderful actress.

"People don’t really ask me about Iris. It’s such a delicate film," she says. "It was the first thing I had done after having my daughter. Going to work with a baby, I’m playing Iris Murdoch, looking to Judi Dench’s older Iris Murdoch — I was sh—ting myself."

Considering how nervous I get when I meet my heroes, I can only imagine what it was like to meet Dame Judi Dench. Talk about a dream! Another film Kate loves is Revolutionary Road, and not just because she got to reunite with Leonardo DiCaprio.

"The thing that people say is, 'You got to work with Leo again.' Then they go off on the whole Leo tangent, which I totally understand," she says of the film, which follows an ambitious couple who find themselves trapped in the reality of 1950s suburbia. "But Revolutionary Road — f—king hell, it just knocked us all sideways. Unbelievably difficult material. I was very proud of that film and what Leo and I were able to create as Frank and April. It was so brutal."

The process for getting Lee into the world sounds equally brutal, considering Kate started working on it over a decade ago. As producer, Kate tells Vanity Fair she doesn't mind the fact she's done more for the film than if she only had an acting credit. "That has felt very necessary for this film. But it’s also just really important to me," she says. "It’s important to me that people know that it’s out there and might feel compelled to go and see it."

Because it turns out, commercial success or stardom on its own doesn't actually help your movie get made! "It doesn’t matter who you are," she says. "No one’s going to go, 'Oh, I’ll just back that pony because she was in Titanic.' It doesn’t happen that way, and I never expected that. That’s really important to say."

"I've gotten older and I’ve learned more and felt more confident in myself about whether or not I could actually do it," she adds. "It’s not something I would’ve done had I not felt so passionately about the subject, and Lee was just—she wouldn’t let me go."

Let us know your favorite Kate Winslet movies in the comments, and since we've officially entered cozy season, check out Why The Holiday Movie Ending Is The Most Important Scene while you're at it!

Here's A New Look At Florence Pugh's Return As Yelena Belova

Marvel movies are known for their heroes and their hopeful outlook on the world. But in 2025, we're getting a brand new team: the Thunderbolts. This team is made up of antiheroes and former villains, and it's sure to be the wackiest and strangest, as well as one of the most memorable, superhero movies we've seen in recent years.

Keep reading for the latest news on Thunderbolts* before it hits theaters in 2025.

Marvel Studios/YouTube

Thunderbolts* comes out this May, and the cast just showed off some brand new footage at the D23 convention — and thanks to the new 'Celebrating 85 Years' spot, we have the first look too!

We get a look at Bucky Barnes, The Red Guardian, John Walker, and Ghost. Plus, Yelena Belova, of course. This heartbreaking detail about Yelena's new look connects Florence Pugh's Yelena to Scarlett Johansson's Natashaand I'm WEEPING.

Marvel Studios/Walt Disney Studios

And at D23 Brazil, we got a brand new look at my new favorite team. "There’s something in this film, in terms of superpowers and superheroes, that shows that our superpowers lie in how ‘broken’ we are," David Harbour said at the event. "As if our superpowers came from our relationships.”

What is the plot of Thunderbolts?

Thunderbolts* Plot

Consider Thunderbolts* to be The Avengers' edgy younger sibling. The movie follows Yelena Belova (who we know off the bat is a "depressed assassin" thanks to a Marvel Studios press release). She's joined by Bucky Barnes, The Red Guardian, and John Walker. Based on a leak, it looks like we'll see this group of misfits team up against Valentina Allegra de Fontaine after she sends them on a deadly mission.

Thunderbolts* Release Date

Thunderbolts* Release Date

Thunderbolts* hits theaters May 2, 2025.

Who's on the Thunderbolts team?

Thunderbolts* Cast

Thunderbolts* stars Florence Pugh, Geraldine Viswanathan, Lewis Pullman, Hannah John-Kamen, Wyatt Russell, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Sebastian Stan, and David Harbour.

This is a huge cast, and Viswanathan just revealed how crazy the first day of filming was. “My first day didn’t feel real," she tells Vanity Fair. "I felt this extra pressure of, ‘Know your lines, babe. You can’t really play around like you usually do.’"

Historically, sci-fi fans haven't been kind to actresses in their favorite projects (remember when Star Wars fans bullied Kelly Marie Tran off social media?). But Viswanathan is already thinking ahead. “If it’s overwhelming, I’ll log off. But I like discourse around pop culture,” she says. “[Thunderbolts*] felt a little bit edgier and fresher, more existential and dark.”

Jesse Grant/Disney

The rest of the cast also enjoyed working together. “Everyone is going to f—kin’ love me! It’s really, really, really fun to be with a group of actors that you have a good time with," Wyatt Russell says at Comic Con (via Variety), while David Harbour adds, “Florence Pugh [is] just electric to work with. There’s warmth and humor, but there’s also a lot of pathos.”

“This is why we can't stop laughing together, because we genuinely just had such a wonderful time with each other and we've loved working with one another," Pugh tells People. “I feel like this is something that we've never seen before from Marvel...it's a very open and honest and truthful idea. And I'm just really excited for people to watch it.”

Are you excited for this brand new chapter in the MCU? I really feel like Thunderbolts* will usher in a whole new generation of fans and I, for one, CANNOT WAIT! Let us know your thoughts on Facebook.
