Ritz Crackers and Oreo cookies are joining together in a snack marriage of sweet and salty, which fans will be able to order for a limited time.
The two brands, which are owned by the massive food company Mondelez International, are launching a snack called "Ritz x Oreo." One side is a cracker and the other side is an Oreo cookie, with a layer of peanut butter-flavored creme and another layer of cookie creme.
If this sounds enticing, the company is giving away the Ritz x Oreo snack for free beginning on Thursday, May 26 at 12 p.m. ET. There are only 1,000 packs available, and customers also have to pay a $3.95 shipping and handling fee at checkout.
Customers can visit Oreo.com/Ritz to order once it’s live.

"We couldn’t resist the opportunity to collaborate with our friends at Oreo on a snack that’s part salty cracker, part chocolate cookie, and entirely delicious. This is a collab our fans won’t want to miss."
