Candy-Covered Animal Crackers

Reese's Dipped Animal Crackers Have Peanut Butter and Chocolate

— January 28, 2023 — Lifestyle
The Reese's Dipped Animal Crackers have been announced by The Hershey Company as a new treat that plays with the recognizable snack and gives it a decidedly delicious overhaul.

The snack features the familiar bite-sized animal crackers consumers will recall from their childhood, which come in 13 different animal shapes. The crackers are dipped in Reese's peanut butter and chocolate to give them the signature taste of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, but with a touch of cookie texture in the mix. The snack features 150-calories per serving.

Manager of Snacks and Grocery at The Hershey Company Nowell Kahle commented on the new Reese's Dipped Animal Crackers saying, "Reese's Dipped Animal Crackers are sweet and crunchy creating the ultimate snack. They're truly something to howl about."
