- SkinnyPop, their famous dairy-free popcorn, is coming out with a new cheddar jalapeño variation.
- Hershey’s own cookies ‘n’ crème popcorn.
They also have a little something for people who like to indulge in their delicious snacks while also remaining fit. Their line of ONE protein bars are pretty good on their own but they’ll get even better thanks to the new cookies ‘n’ crème and Reese’s peanut butter cup flavors being added.
These all sound really exciting! The Hershey company really knows how to please their customers. It looks like the rest of 2024 is shaping up to be something really good. Stay tuned for more updates!
How Hershey Became a Chocolate Giant
When you say the name Hershey, you will immediately think about chocolate bars. Chocolate syrup. Basically, anything sweet related to chocolate. But how exactly did this come to be? How did Hershey became synonymous with chocolate? Well it all began with a man who dreamt of making great chocolate that everyone could enjoy. A man named Milton S. Hershey. He started the Hershey Chocolate Company in 1894 and he stood out because his chocolate was affordable. Back then, sweets like chocolate may be considered a luxury. Thanks to this, the company grew very quickly and by 1900, they introduced their world famous milk chocolate bar. And the rest, as they say, is history.
Today, Hershey is known for more than just chocolate bars. They have a wide array of brands and different kinds of snacks under their umbrella. Products like, Reese’s, Kit Kat, and Ice Breakers are all under the Hershey Company. Milton S. Hershey may have been gone, but his legacy lives on; making our lives a little sweeter every day.
