Fascinated by US culture and the ultra-indulgent snacks you've seen on TV? Getting your hands on an authentic Oreo-style American snack or its variations can sometimes feel like an uphill battle. Yet the iconic "Cookies and Cream" flavour—that perfect marriage of cocoa-rich biscuit and smooth cream—extends far beyond the famous sandwich cookie.
As experts in products imported from the USA, we've unearthed the hidden gems that capture the spirit of this legendary flavour. Follow our guide to make the right choice and satisfy your craving for something new.
Before you indulge, here are a few tips to keep in mind when shopping at an online American grocery store.
The ingredients in American products can sometimes differ from what you're used to. Take the time to check the ingredient list, nutritional values, and especially allergens (wheat, soy, milk, etc.). A quick check ensures a 100% enjoyable tasting experience with no unpleasant surprises.
The "Cookies and Cream" flavour isn't limited to the classic cookies and cream biscuit format. It inspires a host of surprising creations. You can find it in Oreo popcorn for a unique movie night, or in coated pretzels for an explosive sweet-and-salty mix. Let yourself be tempted and explore new textures!
To find a wide selection of American confectionery, specialised platforms are your best bet. Their catalogues are far more extensive than what you'll find in supermarkets, giving you access to gems like Hershey's pretzels and other hard-to-find treasures.
Here are three products that brilliantly reinterpret the "Cookies and Cream" flavour, each offering a unique experience.
Why we love it: This biscuit follows the traditional cocoa sandwich recipe to the letter. It stands out with its ultra-generous filling, which makes up 29% of the product, creating an especially melt-in-your-mouth texture. The biscuits, with 4.5% low-fat cocoa powder, deliver an intense chocolatey taste that balances the sweetness of the cream. A reliable, effective, and incredibly indulgent choice.
Highlights:
Who is it for? For purists seeking the authentic "Cookies and Cream" sandwich cookie experience, who appreciate a perfect balance between the crunch of the biscuit and the smoothness of the cream.
Why we love it: Hershey's, a giant of American confectionery, delivers one of its most audacious combinations here. This American snack marries the salty crunch of a pretzel with the sweetness of a white-creme-flavoured coating, studded with chocolate cookie bits. The result? A dazzling play on textures and flavours that is instantly addictive with its sweet-and-salty contrast.
Highlights:
Who is it for? For flavour adventurers who love sweet-and-salty contrasts and want to get off the beaten path of traditional snacks.
Why we love it: With Candy Pop's Oreo popcorn, movie night takes on a whole new dimension. This product fuses airy popcorn with a creamy coating and real pieces of Oreo cookies. Every bite is a festival of textures, blending the light crunch of popcorn with the density of the cookie pieces, all held together by a thin, delicious coating. A playful and decadent reinterpretation of the "Cookies and Cream" flavour.
Highlights:
Who is it for? The perfect companion for movie nights, get-togethers with friends, or for anyone looking for an original American snack to share and who loves popcorn in all its forms.
The "Cookies and Cream" flavour is just a gateway to the nearly infinite richness of tastes offered by products imported from the USA. Multicoloured cereals, exotic fruit drinks, peanut butter chocolates... a whole world of indulgence is waiting for you.

While you can sometimes find a few options in large supermarkets, the choice is often limited. For a more curated selection and rare products like Oreo popcorn or Hershey's pretzels, your best bet is to turn to an online American grocery store like Joybuy, which imports them directly.
Oreo is the iconic sandwich cookie brand owned by Mondelēz International. Its success was so immense that "Cookies and Cream" became a generic term to describe this flavour profile: a vanilla-flavoured cream studded with pieces of a chocolatey biscuit. Many brands now feature this flavour in their own creations, including ice creams, chocolate bars, and of course, the snacks in our selection.
To ensure they retain all their crunch and flavour, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct light. Once the package is opened, it's best to transfer the contents to an airtight container. Always follow the storage instructions specified on the packaging.
