• Nabisco, the maker of Oreo cookies, lists 50 types of Oreos on its website, including the traditional favorite chocolate sandwich cookie. Besides simply eating the cookies or dunking them into milk, the cookies are often used as an ingredient in many types of desserts. Some of these desserts are simple with few ingredients and take just minutes to prepare, while others might require a bit more effort. In either case, the results are likely to please most anyone who enjoys an Oreo.
  
  

Cakes

• Both made from scratch and packaged cake mixes could benefit from the addition of Oreo cookies. All Recipes suggests an Oreo Cookie Cake recipe that directs the cook to prepare a packaged cake mix according to directions, spreading half the batter in the baking pan, followed by a layer of crushed Oreo cookies mixed with chocolate chips, then the remainder of the cake batter and another layer of Oreos and chocolate chips. The cake is then topped with a glaze of confectioners sugar and milk as desired. Oreo dirt cake is a favorite dessert among children and can be garnished with fun or creepy candies such as gummy worms and served in a small bucket or pail with a shovel in place of a spatula. Another favorite type of cake is cheesecake, which includes both baked and no-bake varieties; Oreos could make up the crust, filling or garnish of the cheesecake.
  
  

Pies

• Instead of a graham cracker crust, many types of pies and desserts are prepared with an Oreo cookie crust. For those who enjoy Oreos with their ice cream, Cooks.com provides a recipe for Oreo Cookie Ice Cream Pie, which includes an Oreo cookie crust topped with vanilla ice cream, hot fudge sauce and whipped topping. Cooks.com also suggests an Oreo cookie torte, with crushed Oreos used as a crust, followed by layers of whipped topping, chocolate pudding and cream cheese, with additional Oreos used as garnish. A twist on the traditional chocolate creme, peanut butter pie or chocolate mousse could use Oreos as both a crust and a garnish for the added pleasure of the rich chocolate flavor.
  
  

Candies

• Crushed Oreos are often added as a garnish or ingredient in various types of candies. A simple candy dessert might include Oreos dipped in white, milk or dark chocolate, with added nuts or sprinkles as desired. Candied or caramel apples coated with a layer of crushed Oreos could make a sweet, different dessert in the fall. All Recipes suggests Oreo truffles, which is a candy made of just three ingredients: cream cheese, semi-sweet baking chocolate and crushed Oreos, which are ready to eat within one hour. Another candy option using Oreo cookies is Oreo cookie bark, which even children could prepare with minimal assistance. All that is required is melted white chocolate and crushed Oreo cookies mixed together, cooled in the refrigerator for one hour and then broken apart before serving. Last, but certainly not least, Oreos could be battered and then deep fried to make a candy typical of what is often found at a county fair or festival.
