Leave it to the creator of the Cronut to come up with a new spread that makes Nutella seem blasé. Dominique Ansel, owner of his namesake bakery in New York, has teamed up with Oreo to create a chocolate spread that's beyond decadent.
Ansel's spread features two flavors: A milk-flavored ganache and a dark chocolate ganache that includes cookie pieces so finely ground that the spread's still smooth, Eater reports. The flavors are layered — dark chocolate ganache, milk ganache, then more dark chocolate ganache on top — mimicking the cookie and creme filling layers of the sandwich cookie itself, an Oreo representative confirmed. It's a lot like a deconstructed Oreo you can slather on toast, frost a cupcake with, or eat by the spoonful. No judgment here.
Dominique Ansel Bakery's only offering it for two days — Saturday, June 11, and Sunday, June 12 — as part of a promotion with Oreo for its #MyOreoCreation contest (you know, the one where you can score $500,000 for dreaming up the brand's next flavor). Neither party has said how much Ansel's getting paid to promote the sweepstakes, but he isn't profiting off the treat itself: The bakery's giving it away for free when you stop by that weekend.
If you don't live in the New York area, or have the means to hop on a plane before Sunday (and potentially wait in multi-hour lines, if the hype surrounding this treat's anything like the Cronut craze, or his Milk and Cookie Shot phase), you're not entirely out of luck. You could get a similar flavor by picking up a jar of Amoretti's Cookies and Cream Crunchy Cookie Spread, Jif's Cookies & Cream Hazelnut Swirl Spread, or heading to the Happiest Place on Earth for a cupcake topped with the Grey Stuff. Going to Disneyland might be as far off as heading to NYC, but at least it's offered for longer than one weekend.
