Mondelez debuts Oreo frozen desserts 

Mondelez International is extending its Oreo brand to include frozen treats such as Oreo bars, cones, sandwiches, and tubs.  

The bars and cones contain Oreo pieces and are dipped in a coating made from crushed Oreo wafer pieces.  

The sandwiches feature two large Oreo wafers while the tubs will be offered in a 2-in-1 variety featuring both Oreo and Chips Ahoy! cookie pieces. 

All of the products feature a crème-flavored base with Oreo cookie pieces. 

Guylain launches less sweet chocolate treats

 Belgian fairtrade chocolate brand, Guylain unveils an improved less-sweet recipe to coincide with its rebranding strategy. 

The secret to the new less-sweet version of Guylain, which sells about 800 million chocolates annually, lies in the roasting process of the hazelnuts used in the praline. 
 
“All our hazelnuts are roasted in-house,” explains Ludwig De Kesel, master chocolatier of Guylian. 
 
“We opt for the best quality and smallest hazelnuts. By roasting them in their shell, they give our praliné filling a strong and hazelnut flavor, which also tastes less sweet,” says De Kesel.  

Ferrara adds 4 new cookies to line up

Ferrara is rolling out four new cookies, including one limited-edition product celebrating the Keebler brand’s partnership with the Make-A-Wish foundation. 

New Fudge Stripes Make-A-Wish Celebration Cake cookies are star-shaped cut-out cookies with blue vanilla fudge drizzled over a Celebration cake-flavored cookie. 

The company’s New Double Chocolate M&M’s are chocolate-based cookies baked with milk chocolate M&M’s.  

Meanwhile, Dipped Duos Chocolate Fudge features the classic chocolate chip cookies dipped into Keebler Fudge.
