There is no end to the expansion of Oreo's product line, apparently.

Bummed out that you can't indulge in the new Nutella burger, available only at McDonald's in Italy? Oreo's got your back, America.

On Tuesday, the cookie maker announced a line of Oreo-cookie-based candy bars. One variety is already available at some retailers, others are coming in January. So forget about those pending weight-loss resolutions, because these treats look awesome.
