# Confection-Crammed Dessert Bars Finish Romantic Meals with the Pip & Ebby Loaded Cookie Creation By Erin Kirkpatrick | Published 2013-01-26 | Special Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pip-ebby-loaded-cookie References: [pipandebby](http://www.pipandebby.com/pip-ebby/2012/1/30/loaded-cookie-bars.html) Sometimes it's difficult to decide what candies to include in baked goods, but this Pip & Ebby loaded cookie refuses to make such a choice. It urges its bakers not to discriminate against a particular pedigree of candy, but suggests infusing them all into one biscuit bar. A great decision overall. Chock-a-block full of [peanut butter chips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chocolate-reeses-pieces-cookie), [M&M's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/holiday-magic-cookie), chocolate chips and macadamia nuts, this cookie bar is a glorious creation of sugary goodness. It is almost too beautiful to stare directly at, let alone eat. With [Valentine's Day fast approaching](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insomnia-cookies-valentines-day-menu), this Pip & Ebby loaded cookie is a perfect option for dessert. Designed with red, white and pink M&M's, this tasty cookie-crammed treat sports the colors of the affection-saturated holiday. For those that love festive-themed baked goods, the loaded cookies can also be made for St. Patty's Day using green M&M's; although, not a romantic holiday it still has its loyal fans eager to celebrate it. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 14% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Special](https://www.trendhunter.com/special) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Confection-crammed Dessert Bars:** Opportunity for bakeries and dessert manufacturers to create innovative dessert bars that combine a variety of candies into one delicious treat. - **Valentine's Day Dessert Creations:** Opportunity for food companies and restaurants to develop Valentine's Day themed desserts that incorporate classic candies like M&M's in creative ways. - **Festive-themed Baked Goods:** Opportunity for pastry shops and specialty food stores to offer a variety of baked goods that cater to different holidays, such as St. Patrick's Day, using colorful and thematic candies. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Bakery:** Bakeries can experiment with different combinations of candies to create unique and innovative dessert bars that would attract customers. - **Food Manufacturing:** Food companies can develop new dessert products that incorporate popular candies, tapping into the popularity of nostalgic treats and creating new flavor experiences. - **Restaurant:** Restaurants can offer specialty Valentine's Day desserts that showcase the Pip & Ebby loaded cookie concept, attracting customers looking for a unique and indulgent ending to their romantic meals. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Romantically Indulgent Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-discovery-double-chocolate-pink-cookie.md) - [Nutty Nostalgic Baked Goods](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-dessert-bar.md) - [Romance-Themed Cookie Ranges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chip-city-cookies-valentines-day.md) - [Multisensorial Pistachio Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/molly-bzs-dubai-cookie.md) - [Decadent Dessert Bars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-dessert-bar.md) - [Candy Bar-Infused Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/baked-by-richs-cookies.md) - [Elevated Holiday-Ready Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/last-crumb-2.md) - [Chocolate Egg-Infused Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candy-egg-brownie-cookie.md) - [Multisensorial Gourmet Cookies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nerds-sugar-crush-cookie.md)
