Dippin' Dots Revives Spooky Seasonal Flavor That's in High Demand

Dippin' Dots is bringing back a fan-favorite treat from its flavor graveyard.

Easily recognized by the vibrant, pumpkin-orange hue of the mini ice cream balls and clumps of Oreo cookie crumble, loyal Dippin' Dots customers know that can only mean one thing: Spookies 'n Cream is back!

It's true: The frozen treat brand's fall-inspired twist on classic cookies and cream is officially returning again this year–but not for long. According to a statement shared with Parade, the limited-edition treat will only be around through the end of next month or while supplies last.

Although Oreo seems to be having a moment–resulting in several back-to-back collaborations with brands like Coca-Cola, 7-Eleven, Jack in the Box, Nothing Bundt Cakes, Crumbl Cookie and IHOP–this particular ice cream flavor is true to the Halloween season, not new to it, returning year after year for nearly a decade, with an archive of Instagram posts made by fans praising the "frightfully good flavor" every October since 2015.

As for where fans can find the fall-favorite Oreo flavor this year, a rep for Dippin' Dots said customers could use the brand's locator to find a retailer nearest to them that has the "high demand" product in stock, but the item should already be available in most theme parks, participating stadiums, zoos, arenas, and Dippin' Dots storefronts. Those looking to plan ahead and stock up well past spooky season can order in bulk online.

Like Dippin' Dots, StarbucksHershey's, Trader Joe's, McDonald's, Aldi and even HomeGoods have all revived what's become an expected seasonal addition, but not all of this year's releases have gone over well, with criticism still haunting the Golden Arches' 2024 version of its Boo Buckets as well as Pop-Tarts' 'Vampire Bites.'
