So, have everyone else's Facebook newsfeeds been blowing up with excitement over the recent announcement from the Oreo cookie masterminds? Or is it just mine?
In case you haven't heard, Oreo is “feeding” into the red velvet craze by introducing a limited edition Red Velvet Oreo cookie with cream cheese filling (salivating over here whilst my stomach rumbles), available starting on February 2. I may actually forgo the usual Godiva box of assorted truffles for Valentine's Day this time around and request about three packages of these (listen, it's the dead of winter. There's no shame in needing some extra padding for warmth). If you love everything red velvet and want some out-of-the-box ideas for your special day inspired by these cookie newcomers, try some (or every one) of these eight unique recipes. And you'll be surprised to find they're not all desserts.

No, these aren't honey barbecue. They are (drumroll) …red velvet-battered chicken fingers! You can also try the recipe for red velvet better with …
onion rings! It sounds insane, but the two flavors compliment each other quite nicely. Ever have a chocolate-covered potato chip? Or bacon bit brownies? Sweet and salty heaven.

The best thing about popcorn is that it's so versatile. It's actually a pretty healthy snack on it's own, but what fun is that? Chocolate-covered popcorn, caramel popcorn — it's all addicting. Add this to the list.
