Sweet and salty are a famous couple when it comes to snacking, and a new collaboration between Oreo and Ritz is tapping into just that.
The two brands, owned by Mondelēz International, are launching a limited-time snack called "Oreo x Ritz."
It is one part cracker and one part cookie, joined by a layer of peanut butter-flavored cream and another layer of cookie cream.

Mondelēz has expanded its bakery product portfolio with a series of acquisitions in recent years.
Earlier this year, for example, he completed the purchase of Chipita, a company that sells croissants and other baked goods in Europe, as part of his plans to develop new products that combine chocolate with baked goods.
In the first quarter, the company posted a 7.3% increase in net income, thanks in part to the addition of more brands.
