For those lucky enough to live in the UK, the neighborhood grocery's frozen aisle might feature a fantastic new treat in the form of the Oreo Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwich. Released in limited supply at local UK supermarkets, the decadent and delicious ice cream sandwiches feature peanut butter-flavored ice cream between two of Oreo's iconic dark chocolate cookies.
Even for those in the UK, the Oreo Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwich won't exactly be easy to come by. Oreo's Twitter account announced that the frozen treats will only be available at select retailers; those retailers are: Sainsbury's, Iceland, and Asda. Each package of the Oreo Peanut Butter Ice Cream Sandwiches includes six sandwiches, and the packet costs three British pounds (or about $3.85 American.)
