For some reason Oreo decided not to release these as full size cookies but only as minis. I have seen pictures of a full size Peppermint Oreo, but I haven't seen them in stores around here yet. This of course brings up the point of what is the difference between candy cane and peppermint? Especially since there isn't any white stripes on these.
If anything I would describe the color as "flesh wound", which is hardly festive at all. The creme as you may have noticed barely fills the space between the cookies, which is a bit disappointing. The taste is over all pretty good, and the small size allows you to put way too many in your mouth at once if you want to pretend to be a giant eating regular sized Oreos. Mostly though I'm just disappointed with Oreo as a company right now. All summer long they released some insane flavors like fruit punch, watermelon and limeade, among others and all they could think of for the holidays was candy cane? Why not eggnog creme or gingerbread cookie, or if they really wanted to go nuts, something like sugar plum or figgy pudding? So many missed opportunities.
