Over the years, the special-edition Oreo flavors have been a bit hit or miss. Pumpkin Spice made one heck of a brownie topping. Cookie dough was OK, although it tasted more like coffee than anything else. And candy corn...no. Just, no. 

So it's with a bit of trepidation that we take in news of a new cookie combo. But the latest Oreo anouncement actually seems very positive. Rumors have been swirling for months now about a Red Velvet variety, and the news has finally been confirmed. Starting February 2, the Red Velvet Oreo will be available to the masses—and just in time for Valentine's Day.

So just what does this brand-new flavor entail? Basically, it's exactly what you think. A reddish chocolate cookie combines with cream cheese frosting. They even come in an adorable red velvet bag (nice one, Oreo). 

If this sounds right up your alley, you can win your own package before they hit stores. Just head here and cross your fingers.
