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 nougat was faintly sweet chocolate with strong almond extract notes. Every once in a while, I hit an actual peanut, which introduced a bit more nuttiness, but the almond extract was the predominant player.
The nougat was covered with a stripe of sweet and serviceable caramel. The white fudge coating was milky and overly sweet.
Overall, I found this bar to be too sweet, and its flavors weren’t distinctive enough. I needed to eat it slowly and carefully to pick out the different flavors, as they got all mushed together and masked by the sweet. An O.
