IDAHO FALLS -- Earlier this week Nabisco announced a new flavor of Oreo: Swedish Fish.

The new cookie maintains its traditional crunchy, chocolate wafers but the flavored crème is where the Swedish Fish taste comes in.

"We know that consumers enjoy variety when it comes to snacking so we create all of our limited-edition flavors to provide surprising new twists people know and love and on occasion, create unexpected and unique flavor combinations that people may never have thought were possible," an Oreo spokesperson told Business Insider on Wednesday.

The limited-edition cookie is only available at Kroger owned stores meaning, in east Idaho, you'll only find these bad boys at Smith's and Fred Meyer.

When we learned about the new cookie, we were determined to get our hands on a package.

On Tuesday night, we visited Fred Meyer on Yellowstone Ave. and the special snack was sold out.

So we headed over to Smith's on Wednesday.  None could be found but, after asking a manager, he was able to track down the last package behind a counter.

The excitement overcame us!  We rushed back to the newsroom and had a taste test with the tempting snack.

Watch the video above to see our thoughts on the snack.
