With many consumers looking for new ways to enjoy their favorite snacks, these frozen desserts help to put a tasty twist on three popular candy bars. The new range of frozen desserts is part of a joint partnership between Mars and Coppenrath & Wiese. The new lineup includes three tasty treats inspired by the popular chocolate brands Twix, Mars and [Maltesers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cream-kit). Each candy bar is then crossed with a different dessert to create hybrid treats such as Maltesers [Pavlova](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pavlova-cocktail) and Twix Cheesecake. All of the desserts are sold frozen, making it easy for consumers to enjoy the decadent treats anytime. Mars' new frozen desserts demonstrates how brands can reinvent existing products to make them appropriate for different occasions. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.2/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 87% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: 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 - **Hybrid Desserts:** The popularity of hybrid desserts creates opportunities for businesses to combine different flavors and textures in unexpected ways. - **Snack-inspired Treats:** Creating desserts that are inspired by popular snacks allows businesses to tap into consumers' love for familiar flavors in new and creative ways. - **Frozen Indulgence:** The demand for frozen desserts presents opportunities for businesses to offer convenient and indulgent treats that can be enjoyed anytime. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can explore innovative ways to create hybrid desserts that appeal to consumers seeking unique taste experiences. - **Confectionery:** Confectionery companies can leverage their popular candy brands to venture into the frozen dessert market and attract new customers. - **Retail:** Retailers can stock and market frozen dessert products that cater to consumers' desire for convenient indulgence and novel flavor combinations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Candy Sundae Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ice-cream-kit.md) - [Frozen Spherical Chocolate Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maltesers-ice-cream-bars.md) - [Frozen Candy Bar Confections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-bar-ice-cream.md) - [Candy Bar-Inspired Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/twix-ice-cream-cones.md) - [Whipped Candy Ice Creams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/milky-way-ice-cream.md) - [Ice Cream-Inspired Candy Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nestl-sharing-bags.md) - [Crunchy Dessert-Flavored Candies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skittles-desserts.md) - [Chocolate-Branded Bakery Treats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/instore-bakery-treats.md) - [Decadent Ice Cream Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-ice-cream-flavor-1.md)
