Yes, the rumors are true -- the latest limited edition Oreo flavor is Red Velvet.

Hitting store shelves Feb. 2, the release marks just the second time Oreo has changed the color of the cookie, following the debut of the Golden Oreo.

Originally released as Uh-Oh Oreos in 2004, consisting of chocolate cream inside vanilla cookies, Nabisco later released the Golden Oreo and it has remained a staple for the cookie brand today.

The Red Velvet Oreo, which features a dark velvet red color with cream cheese-flavored creme, is just the latest limited edition flavor to be introduced.

Cookies featuring flavored creme, extra filling and of course the Heads or Tails Oreo -- featuring a chocolate cookie on one side and vanilla on the other -- have added new options for cookie lovers everywhere through the years.

In 2014, Oreo releasedRoot beer Float,Caramel Apple and Back to School special editions.
