Topher Leo froze Oreo Ghosts before tasting them, and Oreo cookies suddenly had a new Halloween form: a small ghost-shaped candy with a dark chocolate shell, now in major retailers nationwide. The 7-ounce bag at Walmart sells for $3.96, putting a seasonal Oreo item directly into checkout and candy-aisle circulation.
Topher Leo Tries Oreo Ghosts
Topher Leo said the frozen candies were amazing and called them “almost like cookies and cream ice cream.” That verdict matters because Oreo Ghosts are not trying to imitate a classic cookie bite for bite; they are built around crumbly Oreo cookie pieces and a rich creme-flavored filling, then wrapped in dark chocolate for a different finish.
Reid was struck by “the smooth creme filling reminded him of a cookies and cream Reese's cup,” while Brian focused on “how similar it was to a dark chocolate creme egg.” Lizzie said “they mimicked her favorite Kinder Schokolade bar.” Those comparisons map the candy into familiar formats, which is the point of a launch like this: shoppers are being asked to buy Oreo in a shape and texture that behaves more like a seasonal confection than a boxed cookie.
Walmart, CVS, Walgreens
Frankford Candy created the Oreo Ghosts launch, saying it was inspired by excitement over other shape-driven treats in recent years. That puts the product inside a simple retail strategy: keep the Oreo name recognizable, change the format enough to feel new, and push it through nationwide chains where Halloween candy traffic is already concentrated.
At Walmart, a 7-ounce bag contains about 21 candies, which makes the shelf price easier to judge than a standard cookie package. The math is simple enough for shoppers scanning the aisle: roughly 19 cents per piece before local taxes, with CVS and Walgreens carrying the candy as well.
October 12 Shelf Window
This year has already seen Oreo push Firecracker Pop cookies and a re-released BTS collab, and Oreo Ghosts fit that pattern of turning the brand into a rotating lineup instead of one fixed product. A few weeks ago the candies were appearing on social media explore pages and in Halloween candy aisles; now they are sitting in major retail chains nationwide, which is the real retail test.
The open question is how long Oreo Ghosts will stay on shelves before they disappear. For now, the practical move is the same one seasonal candy always demands: buy while the bags are still easy to find, because the format is built for a short run, not a permanent slot.
