Oat-Made Vegan-Friendly Candy Bars

Hershey’s Oat Made is Arriving in Canada in Two Varieties

— October 2, 2023 — Lifestyle
Hershey’s Oat Made candy bars are a new addition to the brand's product portfolio in Canada that will provide consumers with a delicious way to indulge their sweet tooth.

The product comes as a first for the brand for its Canada-based operations, and comes in two flavors including Creamy and Almond & Sea Salt. The bars are characterized by their smooth, creamy profile that will call to mind the brand's original treats but with a vegan-friendly recipe that's also free from artificial flavors and Non-GMO Project Verified.

The Hershey’s Oat Made candy bars are crafted with oat flour instead of dairy to help mimic the creamy texture and flavor of traditional chocolate, but in a free-from recipe.
