There are few things that go together better than peanut butter and chocolate, and now you can enjoy the dynamic duo in the form of a Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bar studded with Reese’s Pieces.
In perhaps one of the tastiest co-branding efforts in recent history, Hershey’s has teamed up with Reese’s to create the ultimate chocolate bar. This means that you can now enjoy the smooth, creamy taste of a Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Bar with the crunchy, nutty goodness of Reese’s Pieces candy. As senior manager of Hershey’s brand Kriston Ohm puts it, "The mashup between Hershey's Milk Chocolate and Reese's Pieces candy is an ultimate celebration of the top two iconic chocolate franchises that will melt your heart to pieces for a once-in-a-lifetime epic treat."
