\"Limited<\/p>\n

Hey, did you guys finish your Halloween ensemble yet? <\/p>\n

Are you starting to think about which side dishes you\u2019re gonna be cooking up for Thanksgiving? <\/p>\n

Well, guess what? None of that matters anymore, because it\u2019s officially Christmas season.<\/p>\n

Sorry, but I don\u2019t make the rules, Nabisco does, and with the release of new Peppermint Bark Oreo, you might as well start duct-taping the Christmas lights to your gutter. It\u2019s here. There\u2019s no fighting it.<\/p>\n

Peppermint Bark still feels like a relatively new thing to me. I feel like I never had it until about a decade ago, but it has already become one of my winter staples.<\/p>\n

Chocolate and peppermint have always been a winning combo. But there\u2019s something about the mix of white and dark chocolate with those peppermint pieces that do it for me. It\u2019s as if someone reinvented a Hershey-style bar AND the candy cane while improving on both of them. (Hershey\u2019s Candy Cane bar is also excellent.)<\/p>\n

Peppermint Bark feels like a natural progression for the Oreo assembly line, and I couldn\u2019t be more excited to try ’em.<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

This probably goes without saying, but these cookies smell fantastic. Just imagine that waft you get when tearing open a sleeve of Thin Mints because the scent is identical to that. <\/p>\n

You get your standard chocolate Oreo wafers that are \u201calways made with real cocoa\u201d according to the packaging. Perhaps someone was calling the validity of the chocolate into question, so they felt the need to reassure everyone. I guess it\u2019s nice to know.<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

While you can never go wrong with the iconic chocolate Oreo, the peppermint flavored cr\u00e8me is the star of the show here. It toes the line between minty and sweet nicely. I\u2019m always a bit nervous companies will go overboard with the peppermint oil, and leave me feeling like I ate an Altoid instead of a cookie.<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

Not only does it taste good, it\u2019s crispy. Yes, “Crispy Cr\u00e8me,” which I\u2019m pretty sure Nabisco couldn\u2019t flaunt due to trademark laws. The cr\u00e8me is peppered with sugar crystals that mimic peppermint candies. They give it a nice little crunch, and unlike actual candy canes, don\u2019t chew like shards of glass.<\/p>\n

\"Limited<\/p>\n

Nabisco\u2019s willingness to get creative with the cr\u00e8me has been my favorite thing about this seemingly endless Oreo-issance. Whether it be adding <\/a>popping candies or <\/a>rice crisps, any inclusion made to the cr\u00e8me has enhanced the Oreo. The peppermint cr\u00e8me and sugar crystals are so good here that I didn\u2019t even bother eating the actual cookies a few times.<\/p>\n

I know Oreo has had mint flavors in the past, but they\u2019ve perfected it here. Peppermint Bark Oreo Cookies are a winner.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s hoping these last on shelves long into the new year. If you love Peppermint Bark, but don\u2019t feel like paying lots of money for the fancy tin it comes in, pick up Peppermint Bark Oreo, it\u2019ll do the trick.<\/p>\n
