Newman-O’s look exactly like classic Oreos, with bright white cream filling enclosed in two distinctive black patterned cookies. Not only are they vegan, they’re also made with organic ingredients and without trans fats. And just in case you were feeling guilty about purchasing cookies instead of baking your own, you can write it off as a charitable contribution. Newman’s Own donates millions of dollars to various charities worldwide.
I was only able to secure a package of the Original flavor, but Newman-O’s come in many tasty sounding varieties. A few include Chocolate Creme, Mint Creme, although the ones I’m on the hunt for, Ginger Creme.
Tasting Notes for Newman-O’s
After contemplating the intricate little designs on the top cookie, I separated the layers for a taste of nostalgia. The creme filling was delightfully creamy and smooth, with a soft undertone of vanilla. But the strongest flavor was definitely the intense sweetness with enough sugar to induce a sugar coma.

The sturdiness of Newman-O’s was a pleasant surprise. Beyond crisp, they are clearly a cookie for dunking. It softened to a much more agreeable structure after a few seconds submerged in a tall glass of soymilk. The cocoa elements of the cookie fall a bit flat. But when enjoyed as a whole in one bite, the two polar opposite textures create a beautiful match.
But don’t just take my word for it. If you’ve never tried Newman-O’s go pick some up for yourself! They’re pretty easy to locate, and I doubt you will be disappointed.
