# Boozy Pub Confections Black & Tan Cookie Bars Makes the Perfect Drinking Dessert By Matt Ho | Published 2011-06-24 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-tan-cookie-bars References: [uncrate](http://uncrate.com/stuff/black-tan-cookie-bars/) & [batchfromscratch](http://batchfromscratch.com/shop2/8/flypagetpl/shopproduct_details/20) Even if you don't eat desserts much at the bar, you should at least consider giving the [Black & Tan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/black-rock-coffee-bar-drinks) Cookie Bars a try. Although the name Black & Tan Cookie Bars sounds a little strange, and maybe even unappetizing at first, I promise you that you'll change your mind once you know what it is. In a pub, it's typically all about pretzels and beer right? So cram that into a cookie and you'll get this delectable treat. This dessert is a [chocolaty stout brownie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vault-city-dubaistyle-chocolate-pistachio) topped with a [butterscotch ale ganache](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanutbutter-milk-stout) and pretzels for a crunchy texture. The sweet and savory combinations will satisfy your palette and appetite when you've had too much to drink and too little to eat. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.7/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Drinking Desserts:** Opportunity for creating innovative alcoholic desserts that enhance the drinking experience. - **Savory-sweet Combinations:** Potential for combining contrasting flavors to create unique and satisfying taste experiences. - **Pub-inspired Confections:** Chance to adapt traditional pub food into dessert form for a creative twist. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** Opportunity for bakeries, bars, and restaurants to offer unique drinking desserts. - **Alcohol Industry:** Potential for collaboration between breweries/distilleries and dessert companies to create alcoholic confections. - **Event Planning:** Possibility for event planners to incorporate boozy pub confections into themed parties and gatherings. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Decadent Dessert Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dessert-bar.md) - [Cookie-Supported Beer Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/levain-bakery1.md) - [Beer-Infused Dessert Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beerinfused-dessert.md) - [Alcohol-Dessert Fusion Menus](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vances-bakery-bar.md) - [Cookie Crumble-Topped Blondies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-ultimate-cookie-bar.md) - [Candy Bar-Topped Dessert Brownies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-caesars-cookie-dough-brownie.md) - [Sticky Bun-Flavored Stouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pastry-stout.md) - [Five-Grain Chocolate Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/labnosh-protein-cookie-bars.md) - [Cookie Brownie Hybrids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-chunk-brookie.md)
