A nostalgic dessert in Bundtlet form

Nothing Bundt Cakes is bringing back its OREO Dirt Cake as a short-run Halloween flavor. The bakery's pop-up page lists the return from Oct. 26 through Nov. 8, while supplies last. The cake starts with Chocolate Chocolate Chip cake baked with OREO cookie pieces crumbled on top and bottom, then adds creamy chocolate pudding and a fruity gummy worm. It translates the familiar dirt-cup combination of chocolate, cookie crumbs and gummy worms into the chain's personal cake format. Allrecipes reports the treat previously appeared in 2024, making this a return rather than a first launch. The outside and filling also set it apart from a plain chocolate cake: the cookie pieces are baked against the cake at both ends, while pudding sits inside, and the worm supplies the playful dirt-dessert visual.^{[1] [3]}

A tightly timed seasonal pop-up

The two-week window is confirmed by both the company's current flavor page and the fall schedule reported by Southern Living and Allrecipes. Southern Living places the cake at the end of the brand's Bundtember celebration and describes it as the season's Halloween-minded Bundtlet; Allrecipes likewise says it is available only until Nov. 8. The brand's October fall-flavor announcement, carried by QSR Magazine, lists OREO Dirt Cake for Oct. 26–Nov. 8 and says it is offered in personal-sized Bundtlets for the limited run, while supplies last. The release says seasonal products are available at Nothing Bundt Cakes bakeries nationwide. This means the advertised window includes Halloween itself, but it is not a month-long October menu item. The broader Bundtember campaign continues beyond the OREO run, and the announcement schedules Pumpkin Spice into late November in all cake sizes; those dates should not be confused with the shorter, Bundtlet-only OREO listing. It does not specify a national price, so local bakery pricing should be checked directly.^{[1] [2] [3] [4]}

OREO is licensed, not just a flavor shorthand

The product's branded ingredient relationship is explicit: Nothing Bundt Cakes' page says OREO and the OREO Wafer Design are trademarks of Mondelēz International group, used under license. That substantiates the use of OREO cookie pieces in this menu item, but the materials reviewed describe a licensed ingredient and a seasonal bakery flavor—not a broader co-branded campaign or joint launch announcement. The official page uses the label “pop-up flavor,” distinguishing this temporary return from the chain's regular year-round menu flavors. Nothing Bundt Cakes does not publish a nationwide price in the materials reviewed, and local bakery pricing or stock could vary. The window is brief, so customers should check with a nearby bakery before making a trip, particularly because availability is subject to supplies.^{[1] [4]}
