Key Takeaways
- Hershey's just launched two new candies: Reese’s Pieces Bark and Hershey’s Bark with Pretzels and Almonds.
- The barks combine creamy chocolate and crunchy candy mix-ins.
- Both candies are rolling out now in stores nationwide.
Reese’s has mastered the art of innovation, offering fans, in just the past few weeks alone, everything from Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup Miniature Cups to sprinkles-studded big cups. It’s even ventured into snack hybrids, like Reese’s popcorn and a ready-made peanut butter pie perfect for the parties. Now, it’s breaking new ground in the world of candy by giving us something we’ve never seen from the brand before.
New Reese’s Pieces and Hershey’s Chocolate Bark
Chocolate bark is one of our favorite holiday staples as it’s one of the tastiest (and easiest) candies to create at home—especially when flavored with seasonal toppings like crushed peppermint. But now, the Hershey’s company is saving us the trouble of making it ourselves and is giving us more reason to enjoy the treat year-round.
The chocolate-peanut butter powerhouse is introducing Reese’s Pieces Bark—a rich chocolate bark featuring Reese’s Pieces Minis and roasted peanuts. This new treat combines the brand’s signature peanut butter and chocolate flavors with nutty, crunchy textures making it a must-try for Reese’s fans.
And, Hershey’s is along for the ride with its own take on the treat: Hershey’s Bark with Pretzels and Almonds. This version blends creamy Hershey’s milk chocolate with salty pretzel pieces and crunchy almonds, creating a sweet-and-salty treat that’ll satisfy every craving.
The ready-to-eat treats come in a few different packaging options: a six-ounce pouch for sharing (if you’re feeling generous) as well as a 3.1-ounce bag designed for more grab-and-go snacking. When the product first leaked on social media, some fans poked fun at the 3-ounce option, calling it “barely a nibble.” “Where’s the 5-pound bag?” asked another.
Well, now we know the answer! While it’s not quite a 5-pound bag, a 20-ounce bag has also been spotted on shelves at Costco. TikTok user @costcohotfinds posted the product, calling it “quite possibly the best chocolate bark ever.” Another commenter chimed in, “Give me 10 of them right now.”
No matter how many bags you plan to grab, both chocolate treats should be rolling out to retailers nationwide now.
