Peppermint bark Oreos are here, just in time for the holidays
The most wonderful time of the year is almost here. And if you weren’t already excited enough for the holiday season, Oreo is giving you yet another reason to get in the spirit! The cookie company is launching limited-edition peppermint bark Oreos just in time for the holiday season.
Yup. The brand is taking our love of both peppermint bark and Oreo cookies and putting them into one delicious treat. They’re bound to be so good you won’t want to share ’em — not even with Santa.
According to the @junkbanter Instagram account, Oreo first broke the news of the seasonal flavor at the Sweets & Snacks Expo in Chicago. According to the post, the company decided to upgrade their peppermint Oreos by adding “crunchy sugar crystals” to the creme center which, honestly, sounds pretty amazing.

Where To Find Them
These cookies won’t be available to buy in stores until close to the end of the year, so we have just a bit longer to wait, according to the Junk Banter post.
You can also surf the web to get your hands on these seasonal treats. You’ll be able to find them on Prime Pantry, and on Target’s and Walmart’s websites. You’ll be able to shop those online and on store shelves as soon as they officially launch. They’re selling for $2.99 at Target and $2.98 at Walmart.
The sooner you can shop these Oreos, the better. Because with the amount of peppermint and chocolate-loving people out there, these are bound to sell out quickly.
People are more than ready to get their hands on this deliciousness. Twitter user @emileeveillon said the cookies were needed “yesterday”:
Oh I need those peppermint bark Oreos yesterday

While You Wait
If you’re craving these just as bad as everyone else, but are feeling impatient for their launch, you might want to tide yourself over by making some peppermint bark from scratch. One recipe from A Latte Food uses Oreo cookies for added flavor and texture:
But once those Oreo cookies drop — be ready!
