To make the [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-blackout-cake-chocolate-sandwich-cookies)-worthy chocolate squares, simply pulse [Oreo cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookies-cream-cocoa-mousse-cup) in a blender until they're ground up into small chunks (but not fine powder), [melt marshmallows](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/marshmallow-crispy-cookies) and butter in the microwave and then blend the two together. Pour and press the mixture into a brownie tin and let the no-bake bars set for up to ten minutes, if you can wait that long! The end result is a chocolate square that looks so good, no one will guess it isn't baked. The no-bake recipe is so simple it barely deserves to be called a recipe. Following in the footsteps of Internet recipes like mug cake, it tastes great but is the least fancy type of cuisine possible. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.8/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: 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 - **No-bake Recipes:** Creating desserts without baking opens up new possibilities for quick and easy treats. - **Blender Cooking:** Utilizing blenders for cooking allows for faster and more convenient recipe preparations. - **Microwave Cooking:** Exploring recipes that can be prepared in a microwave provides time-saving options for busy individuals. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry can embrace the no-bake trend by developing innovative dessert options that require minimal cooking processes. - **Kitchen Appliances:** Manufacturers of blenders and microwaves have the opportunity to market their products towards consumers interested in quick and easy cooking methods. - **Recipe Platforms:** Recipe websites and apps can feature more no-bake options to meet the growing demand for hassle-free recipes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Bakery-Style Skillet Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookies-cream-skillet-cookie.md) - [Dubai Chocolate Sandwich Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pistachio-kunafa-cookie-sandwiches.md) - [No-Bake Foodservice Brownies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pillsbury-thaw-serve-brownie-sheets.md) - [Fuss-Free Brownie Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-brownie-bites.md) - [Cookie-Studded Marshmallow Squares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookies-cream-krispy-bar.md) - [Fully Ready-To-Bake Brownies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nestle-brownies.md) - [Ready-to-Bake Cookie Skillets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ready-to-bake-cookie-skillet.md) - [Creamy Sandwich Cookie Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookies-cream-cake.md) - [Cookie Crumble-Topped Blondies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-ultimate-cookie-bar.md)
