Maybe crush the leftover Dog Oreos and turn them into a pie crust, then fill with Dog Ice Cream (there are several brands -- heck, you probably already have some in your freezer!) to make an Ice Cream Pup Pie? Drizzle with meat sauce or something to garnish?

I agree with Dog Oreo ice cream, but instead of using dog ice cream, make your own ice cream using the goat milk they sell for dogs.

Imagine that barnyard terroir along with the cookies for terriers!

I recently purchased Trader Joe's Halloween Joe-Joe's cookies and was extremely disappointed. As in, I literally ate one, then threw away the rest of the package. I'd love to see a blind side-by-side taste test - ideally where people don't know one option is a dog treat. ;-)

Unfortunately the door to Beggin Strip infused Coke Zero has now been opened.

I laughed so hard that I cried (also in sheer terror, I think).

Dog safe cheesecake, maybe of the peanut butter variety?

Also though, Oreo has a whole selection of recipes online (https://www.oreo.com/recipe) that maybe you should draw inspiration from. Oreo empanadas are a particularly beautiful feature, but also maybe yours could include meat (or dog food meat).

Thank you for this. I am laying in bed reading before getting up and I've been laughing so hard I've been afraid that I'll wake up my son. 😄

I work at the retailer where you bought the cookies, those are the Halloween edition. We do sell a bunch of differnt dog ice creams including one meant for dogs and people to share from Ollie. You should make a pie with them!

Grasshopper pie but with actual grasshoppers? Use the dog Oreo cookies for the crust, and maybe to keep the dog theme instead of a marshmallow fluff or cool whip pie filling melt some Frosty Paws frozen dog treats blended up with the cookies middles. Spread in pre-baked pie crust and garnish with some of those novelty packages of toasted grasshoppers. Grassdogger Pie? Doghopper pie? I’d say add the usual creme de mint and creme de cacao too, or at least some green food coloring to keep the spirit.

Can you make some kind of also pet-food based dessert with them, perhaps with a fun Halloween twist, a la a spooky dirt cup?? Some kind of horrifying pudding, gummy worms... The possibilities are endless.

How about comparing dog cookies to knock off "human Oreos" to see which of those are actually worse tasting than dog cookies? Perhaps some of the "bougie Oreos" at Whole Foods, etc., are actually worse tasting, more expensive, and carrying no more nutritional value than the "dog Oreos."

So the only reason those cookies are for dogs is because they have no chocolate in them? that's it? They're just regular cookies? I can't handle it. I can't cope. I can't do this!

This is truly remarkable—usually I can tough it out, but this recipe made me feel genuinely ill just by reading it. Kudos!

Dennis you should dunk dog Oreos in dog milk like you used in the past. You can use one of those special Oreo dunking devices.

Hey you could send the rest to me for my 3 DOGS Dannis!!! 🤡 Also things could speed up for you a bit if you used cheesecloth vs coffee filters, like, y’know, the world’s greatest food writer might! 🤡 Just sayin’…it’s cheap, readily available and quite frankly, we’re tired of the wait. Otherwise I suggest making an ice cream with the rest of those cookies if you’re not sending them to me. Imagine the lovely color! Just like poo sand!! 😘😘🤡
