Nick of Dude Foods has made Oreos even more Oreawesome! He took triple stacked double Oreos and dipped them in chocolate. Then, like any sensible chef, he deep fried them. Because anything can be deep friend and therefore, logically, everything should be deep fried.

This is my last Star Wars post today, I promise. But just look at how cute this Princess Leia cupcake is. Best of all, it’s super easy to make with just a little black frosting, a few Oreos and pink sprinkles.

Nabisco first unveiled the Oreo in 1912, then marked with a distinctive logo on the outer cookie shingles. In changed in 1924, and then acquired its current form in 1954. Oreo enthusiasts have studied the logos extensively, searching for their meanings:

The circle topped with a two-bar cross in which the word “OREO” resides is a variant of the Nabisco logo, and is either “an early European symbol for quality” (according to Nabisco’s promotional materials) or a Cross of Lorraine, as carried by the Knights Templar into the Crusades. Continuing the Da Vinci Code-theme, the Oreo’s geometric pattern of a dot with four triangles radiating outward is either a schematic drawing of a four-leaf clover or — cue the cliffhanger music from Jaws — the cross pattée, also associated with the Knights Templar, as well as with the German military and today’s Freemasons.

What a brilliant idea! The preparation appears to be fairly straightforward, but you’ll need an ice cream scoop to cover the oreos in chocolate chip cookie batter. Or your fingers.

Debbie Wright invented this culinary delight. The batter and frosting are both made of oreos, and there’s an oreo resting at the bottom of the cake. Finally, it’s topped with a mini oreo.

Sweet lovers like myself will love this brilliant concept on The Cupcake Project blog. It’s an Oreo cupcake with Oreo frosting, topped with home-made Oreos and served with a glass of milk built inside. This ingenious dessert marvel is made possible with the help of those delightful chocolate liqour cups. I totally want to make these myself, if you do as well, let me know how they turn out.
