The new addition to the Oreo lineup will be available across the U.S. starting May 5, 2025. You’ll find it in most major grocery stores and online retailers.

Oreo’s parent company, Mondelez International, says the move was driven by data. Their 2024 snack trends report found that 81% of consumers “pay attention to the sensory experience” of their snacks. 

In response, Oreo is leaning into bolder, more textured flavor combinations — and this is their most direct play yet.
