FAQ
Can I make my own Oreo Crunchies at home?
Yes, simply place whole Oreo cookies (cream and all) in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin, or pulse in a food processor until you reach your desired crumb size.
Are Oreo Crunchies gluten-free?
No, they contain wheat flour and are made on shared equipment, so they are not suitable for a gluten-free diet.
What's the best way to store them?
Keep them in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage to maintain their crisp texture.
