Let the pumpkin spice wars begin.

Oreo on Wednesday announced the return of its Pumpkin Spice Oreos — an early entry in the fall products flavor battle. The news was announced via the company’s official Instagram.

The cookies, returning for the first time in five years, feature pumpkin spice-flavored creme filling nestled between two golden Oreo basecakes.

If you’re a fan, you’ll need to plan: the cookies will be available beginning Aug. 15 at area retailers or online at the Oreo website — only while supplies last.

Earlier this year, the company also brought back Oreo Cakesters after a 10-year hiatus for the treats that boast familiar Oreo creme sandwiched between two soft, chocolate-flavored snack cakes.

In other fall-favorites news: No official word from Starbucks or Dunkin’ about the 2022 editions of their pumpkin-spiced coffee offerings. Pumpkin Spice Cheerios are available at area retailers and Amazon.com, while supplies last.

Fall officially arrives Sept. 22, in case you were wondering.
