Matcha x Fig and Hawthorn Candy Flavored Oreo Thins

Oreo really messed up when they discontinued my beloved Pistachio thins.

2025 is the year for pistachio flavored everything and more specifically, Dubai chocolate bars. I've seen a lot of variations, but for the most part a Dubai chocolate bar is a dark chocolate bar, filled with pistachio paste/butter and toasted shredded filo dough. As a long time lover of all things pistachio, I am PUMPED for this trend to take off. I really hoped that it would light a fire under Mondelez getting them to re-released my favorite Oreo of all time, but so far...nothing. 

While I wait with bated breath for them to realize their folly, it's about time I finally posted these two Oreo Thin flavors I picked up at S.Mart a while back. 

I have two flavors of Thins today: Matcha x Fig, and Hawthorn Candy.

Matcha Fig Oreo Thins - The cookies are thin and crispy with a dark cocoa flavoring. It's been a minute since I've had American Oreo Thins (not since pistachio was unfairly taken from us) but I feel like these might be even thinner than the USA version. I might not be sure of the cookies being different thicknesses, but I am 100% sure there is less filling in these than the American version. The matcha and fig filling here is a pale green color with some red-purple bits and it's slightly larger than a quarter in diameter, but there's so much space between the end of the filling and the edges of the cookie. Even for a Thin, it seems sparse. On it's own, the creme is dry and mildly flavored. If you had told me that this was fig-only, I would have believed you. The matcha flavoring is very mild, almost a whisper. I don't particularly enjoy matcha (I bought this because I love figs) so I don't mind the matcha being in the background. With the crunchy fig seed inclusions, it's more like an Oreo thin with a hint of Fig Newton. Which is perfect for me, but it you went into this wanting a bold earthy flavor, you'll be disappointed. I like it and I would buy it again in a heartbeat. 4/5

Hawthorn Candy Oreo Thins - Same thin chocolate cookie, but this time the filling is a pale pink color with red flecks and it smells really fruity. I've had hawthorn candy before and really liked it. It's a bright, tart berry flavoring. I'd say it tastes like a cross between lingonberry and cranberries, and the candy with this flavor is usually on the dry-side texture-wise. On it's own, the creme is bright and sweet, but the tiny crystalized inclusions are nice and tart. Combined with the cookie, the filling gets much more mellow and less fruit-forward. Unlike most Oreos, I think this one does best when eaten as-is, not twisted apart. It also pairs nicely with milk. 5/5
