Created by Lindsay Hunt of [Buzzfeed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mytherabox), the [Candy Bar](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/donut-combinations) Cookie Pie is basically a cookie dough pie filled with candy. No fruit is involved in this recipe, seasonal or otherwise. You will need amazingly delicious ingredients like graham cracker crust, Twix bars, M & Ms and mini chocolate peanut butter cups. You basically pour the candy (and feel free to improvise here with your own favorites) into a cookie dough and cook it. The candy pie is baked in the oven, making is a gooey, wonderful mess. For bonus points and taking the dish to a whole new level, serve with ice cream, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, sprinkles and anything else you can think of. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 28% | Activity: 24% | 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 ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Cookie Dough Desserts:** Incorporating cookie dough into various desserts presents opportunities for innovative flavor combinations and unique textures. - **Candy-filled Desserts:** Creating desserts filled with candy allows for playful and indulgent experiences, capturing the attention of consumers seeking novel treats. - **Gourmet Dessert Presentation:** Elevating dessert presentation by incorporating ice cream, whipped cream, sauces, and toppings offers opportunities for creating visually appealing and unforgettable sweet experiences. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Bakery:** Bakeries can capitalize on the trend of cookie dough desserts by offering a variety of innovative flavors and combinations to attract customers and create new market segments. - **Candy Manufacturing:** Candy manufacturers can explore partnerships or develop their own line of candy-filled desserts to tap into the growing demand for indulgent and unique sweet treats. - **Foodservice Industry:** Restaurants and dessert-focused establishments can leverage the trend of gourmet dessert presentation to enhance customer dining experiences and differentiate their offerings in a competitive market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hybrid Holiday Dessert Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brookie-dough-pie-cookies.md) - [Supersized Candy-Studded Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-cookie.md) - [Hybrid Brownie Crust Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brookie-dough-pie.md) - [Candy Bar Skillet Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snickers-pizookie.md) - [Candy Bar-Topped Dessert Brownies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-caesars-cookie-dough-brownie.md) - [Pie Crust Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pie-crust-cookies.md) - [Peanut-Filled Dessert Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waffle-cone-pie.md) - [Hybrid Brownie-Flavored Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brookie-pie.md) - [Fudge-Stuffed Dessert Pizzas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stuffed-crust-pizzert.md)
