OREOs never cease to amaze me! I mean, I was just fine with the original OREOs, that were first introduced back in 1912 by Nabisco. Like in these OREO Cheesecake No Bake Bars here.
But, did you know Lemon meringue also came out at the same time? The original was far more popular, and Nabisco discontinued lemon meringue in the 1920s. 🙁
But, then Nabisco started introducing all different flavors of sandwich cookies worldwide, over the years. I would count, but there’s too many and I really don’t have time for that, but if you know the answer, let us all know! My point being, you could switch out any flavor of OREO cookies in these bars and have your favorite flavors goin’ on.
Did you know the newest OREO cookies on the block are Brownie Batter OREOs? I think I just died and went to heaven AGAIN!
BTW…If you want to make your own home-made OREOs, you might like these. Yum! And these….
Everything’s coming up OREOs!

This summery, yummy dessert is really delightfully creamy and delicious.
It’s not overpowered with sweetness and those OREO cookies, well, you know they are the ‘stars’ of this show, for sure, so you can’t go wrong. If you want a creamier bar, refrigerate the bars. If you want them more set up, you can freeze them. Try them both ways, both good!

I could eat that off the screen!! Looks so yummy! What kind of cream cheese is good for this? Would mascarpone work?
I used Philadelphia Cream Cheese, but you could probably try Mascarpone? I haven’t worked with Mascarpone, so I’m really not sure, but it seems to be a good substitutue for cream cheese, but creamier. Thanks so much for stopping by and if you use Mascarpone, let us know how it worked out. 🙂
