Oreo candy bars give you a reason to get out of bed today
If you love Oreos (and let's be honest...you love Oreos), here's your reason to get out of bed today.
Oreo is releasing two Oreo candy bars in the US, starting today, and it's kind of a big deal.
The Milka Oreo Big Crunch Bar has an Oreo cookie layer sandwiched between two layers of vanilla creme filling. The Milka Oreo Chocolate Candy Bar has Oreo cookie bits mixed into the vanilla crème filling.

Milka, a European chocolate (produced in various countries) coats both candy bars. This isn't some name that's licensed out and made in the US, this chocolate is the real stuff, made in Europe and imported to America. The 3.52 oz. size of the Milka Oreo Chocolate Candy Bar will sell at a suggested retail price of $1.79. On Amazon, the same candy bar easily passes the $7.00 mark when shipping is taken into account.
A company spokesperson tells Mashable the holiday season seemed like the perfect time to introduce these new treats. The bars are intensely rich and sweet and though too much of it might give you the sugar shakes, just enough is delicious.
Limited rollout for the Milka Oreo Chocolate Candy Bar begins today, with full distribution of both bars nationwide starting Jan. 2017.
And that's how you're going to make it through 2017. You're welcome.
