OREO, America's No. 1 Cookie, Comes to the U.S. Chocolate Aisle

The line of Milka OREO Chocolate Candy Bars is the latest innovation to be released from the OREO Wonder Vault, the epicenter of cookie exploration where OREO taste-tests, taste-tests again (and again, and again…) its Wonderfilled creations before releasing them to the world. The new chocolate candy bar line comes in an assortment of different formats, all of which feature bits of OREO cookies and vanilla creme filling alongside Milka's smooth European chocolate candy for a taste unlike anything else that's currently in the U.S. market.

"We are always exploring ways to diversify the OREO product portfolio in order to surprise and delight fans, and we are excited to do just that with Milka OREO Chocolate Candy Bars," said Samantha Greenwood, Senior Category Director, Chocolate – North America. "Milka OREO Chocolate Candy Bars are a natural progression for OREO, especially with Mondelez International's global leadership position in chocolate and Milka being the No. 1 chocolate candy in Europe. The combination of these two global powerhouse brands – both of which are known for their delicious taste – has led to a product line that is unique and truly differentiated in the U.S. chocolate candy category."
