North Carolina has a great chain of drive-thru restaurants, Cook-Out, that feature an elaborate variety of milkshakes. I like Heath bar bits in my Cook-Out milkshakes, so I jumped at the chance to buy these Heath Pieces when I saw them on the shelf. Heath Pieces are another extension of the Hershey’s Pieces line. For…

Kit Kat Minis
One of the big things at Sweets and Snacks last month was miniaturized versions of larger treats. These mini versions were different from fun-sized candy bars that you see around holidays. Instead, they were unwrapped and packaged loosely in a larger bag. The Hershey’s booth was passing out free samples of King Sized bags of…
Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme and Cookies ‘n’ Milk Chocolate
I remember Hershey’s Cookies ‘n’ Creme from my childhood. I think the Cookies ‘n’ Milk Chocolate are a newer addition, within the last few years. By the way, this whole ‘n’ thing is crazy annoying. An ampersand takes up the same amount of space but is grammatically correct. Both bars were crammed full of crunchy…
Hershey’s Bliss Creme de Menthe Meltaway
Someone left a bag of these Creme de Menthe Meltaway Hershey’s Blisses in lab. I’ve never reviewed Hershey’s Bliss before since I’ve never found them interesting enough to buy, so of course I jumped at the opportunity to steal one for reviewing. The Creme de Menthe Meltaway Bliss was a domed square of chocolate that…
Hershey’s Kiss – Air Delight
This Hershey’s Kiss Air Delight is the newest addition to the Hershey Kiss line-up. It’s basically aerated chocolate in Hershey Kiss form. I was a total sucker for the packaging here – I loved the retro polka dotted look of the wrapper. The Kiss itself looked like a normal Kiss until I bit into it….
Dagoba Xocolatl
Here’s another bar from the Dagoba line, the Xocolatl. It’s described as “rich dark chocolate, chilies, and nibs.” It had a 74% base, perhaps the same chocolate that made up the New Moon? The chocolate had a dry and crunchy snap. It was tough for me to get a flavor profile from this bar because…
Dagoba Chocolates – Milk and New Moon
I received a couple of Dagoba chocolate squares in my American Chocolate Week Chocolate Gift Pack: Milk and New Moon. I’d reviewed the Milk before, but that was years ago, and it was nice to take another gander at it with a much darker Dagoba bar for contrast. The Milk was 37% cacao. The coloring…
Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Drops
I got to try this small, sample-sized bag of Hershey’s Drops as a free sample via the National Confectioners Association. It’s hard for me to envision these Drops as anything but a wannabe M&M’s competitor. Even Drops’s slogan of “No candy shell – No mess” calls to mind the M&M’s catchphrase, “Melts in your mouth,…
Holiday Hershey Kisses
These holiday Hershey Kisses, Mint Truffle and Candy Cane, have been around for a while, but I’ve never reviewed them before. They were out at an event that I attended, so I slipped a few into my pockets to write about later. The Mint Truffle Kisses came wrapped in green foil with little snowflakes. The…
Zero
Hershey’s Zero bar’s claim to fame is its white coating. Specifically, it’s “caramel, peanut and almond nougat covered with white fudge.” Mine came free, courtesy of Munchies Sweets and Treats.? It was a bit too abundantly full of caramel, I guess, as my bar’s trademark white coating was streaked with it. The bottom layer of…
