Sometimes all it takes to make your snack dreams a reality is Photoshop – and a verified Instagram account.
In a post on 7-Eleven’s official Instagram page, the convenience store shared an Oreo “Taquito Cannoli” photo, which showed what appeared to be a thin Oreo cookie shell stuffed with cannoli cream and a dusting of Oreo cookies.

“(It’s not real, but it’d be totally cool if it was),” the caption continued. “Wink wink nudge nudge twist twist dunk drunk.” The brand also tagged Oreo, along with the phrase “unrealcollab.”
The post has received more than 7,300 likes and many comments from wishful snackers.
“Love it!”
“I was about to go buy them.”

The official Oreo social media account seemed to be interested in the mash-up, too. The brand commented on the photo with a(n impossible) challenge: “711 billion likes and it’s a deal.”
However, for those who prefer their cookie sandwiches in cannoli form, Oreo appears to have enjoyed the idea.
Oreo reposted the photo on its own social media with the caption “we aren’t even mad at this.” That photo has received more than 33K likes.

However, a spokesperson from the cookie brand revealed to Fox News the taquito is "just a delicious dream, not a real collaboration." Oreo confirmed there are no current plans to make this combination a reality.
7-Eleven echoed the sentiment.
"We’d LOVE to get ‘real’ on an OREO Taquito Cannoli, but alas, right now it’s just a delicious dream we dreamed up with OREO. While not in the works now, we would love to hear from all OREO, taquito and cannoli lovers to see if this is something we should try to make happen. OREO is calling for 711 billion likes (we think that’s a little steep since only 7 billion even live on the planet), but hey – never say never," a spokesperson for 7-Eleven told Fox News in a statement.
