I got hooked on the idea of a Mint Oreo when those stupid Keebler Elves quit making their old Grasshopper cookies that were essentially a Mint Oreo, not the Girl Scout cookie knockoff that they market as a grasshopper now.
I really liked the Mystic Mints, which evolved into Fudge Covered Mint Oreos. From what I could tell this was an Oreo with a minty filling covered in fudge. But that was discontinued and they introduced a Milk Chocolate Covered Mint Oreo, it wasn’t nearly as good as the Fudge Covered Mint Oreo. As best I know that, eventually, disappeared too.
A while back there was an Oreo Double Delight, the filling was green and white. I was supposed to be minty and creamy, it was tasty, but the consistency of the filling was off. Now there are Cool Mint Oreos, they taste the same to me as the Double Delight Oreos and the filling is off on these too.
Much to my pleasure, the other day I was at the grocery store and I say a limited edition Mint Fudge Covered Oreos. They aren’t quite as good as I remember the original, but still a nice find that I will savor for the time they are available to me.

I LOVE those fudge mint OREOs. That's good stuff. I haven't had them in ages though. The cookies with the mint filling just tasted like they had minty Crisco in them. I can see why you didn't like those.
I don't think oreos should be covered in anything- and I have been known to like the cool mint oreos. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one, babe.
I hear you. Kent and I both liked the original mint oreos, then they decided to mix things up. Why is it only in double stuff? I don't need extra filling, the original was was fine. And then they changed the mint flavoring? Why?
I agree with your sister, too much filling is like mint crisco.
Looks like I had better go buy a package of these retro cookies while I can.
Trader Joes. . .you need a Trader Joes! They have the most awesome mint "oreos"
