# Sandwich Cookie Candy Bars Oreo Cookies are Now Available in Two New Candy Bar Formats By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2016-11-14 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-bar-formats References: [refinery29](http://www.refinery29.com/2016/11/129599/new-oreo-milka-chocolate-candy-bars) & [cosmopolitan](http://www.cosmopolitan.com/food-cocktails/a8280887/oreo-milka-candy-bars/) Instead of a brand new cookie flavor, Oreo's recent announcement is that the popular sandwich cookie will now be available in two new candy bar formats. Although there are a number of chocolate bars on the market stuffed with cookie crumbs, this will be the first time that chocolate-lovers will be able to get their hands on Oreo-brand candy bars. The new Oreo bars come in two different varieties, each of which are made with pieces of the popular chocolate sandwich cookie and European Milka chocolate. The first of these tantalizing treats is the Milka Oreo Big Crunch Candy Bar, which features a milk chocolate exterior and a vanilla creme filling mixed with Oreo pieces. The second is the Milka Oreo Chocolate Candy Bar, which features a chocolate cookie center and alternating layers of vanilla creme to create a sort of Oreo cookie sandwich bar. By offering its iconic flavors in two new candy bar formats, Oreo is reinventing itself to complement modern-day snacking habits. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 30% | Activity: 32% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## 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 - **Oreo Candy Bar Trend:** The introduction of Oreo sandwich cookie candy bars creates new opportunities for the confectionery industry to expand into innovative flavor combinations. - **Chocolate-cookie Hybrid Trend:** The fusion of chocolate candy bars and sandwich cookies presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for both the chocolate and cookie industries to tap into new markets. - **Reimagined Snacking Trend:** The release of Oreo candy bars showcases the growing demand for unique and convenient snack options, inspiring the food industry to reimagine traditional snacking experiences. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Confectionery Industry:** The launch of Oreo sandwich cookie candy bars introduces new growth prospects for the confectionery industry, allowing for the creation of novel confectionery products. - **Chocolate Industry:** The evolution of Oreo into candy bar formats presents an opportunity for the chocolate industry to explore collaborations and create enticing chocolate-cookie hybrids. - **Snack Food Industry:** The reimagining of Oreo as candy bars highlights the potential for innovative snack food offerings, prompting the snack food industry to develop unique and indulgent snacking experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Nutty Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reeses-x-oreo.md) - [Sandwich Cookie Protein Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-protein-bar.md) - [Iconic Cake-Inspired Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-blackout-cake-chocolate-sandwich-cookies.md) - [Salty Artisan-Inspired Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-covered-pretzel-oreo.md) - [Limited-Edition Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitededition-sandwich-cookie.md) - [Limited-Edition Dessert Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-oreos.md) - [Frozen Snack-Size Cookie Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-frozen-treat.md) - [Hybrid Nutty Chocolate Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mondelz-international-and-hershey.md) - [Branded Cookie Frozen Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-frozen-treats.md)
