\"1<\/p>\n

What is it?<\/h3>\n

Hershey\u2019s has taken their chunky Cookie Layer Crunch bars (crunchy cookie bits + cr\u00e8me layer + traditional Hershey chocolate coating), given them new strawberry and dulce de leche cr\u00e8me layers and replaced the cookie bits with waffle cone pieces. <\/p>\n

\"2<\/p>\n

\"3<\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

Everything about these bars feels average. The dulce de leche and strawberry cr\u00e8me flavors weren\u2019t particularly authentic, bright or rich. Just a run-of-the-mill caramel-y vanilla and Nesquick-style strawberry flavor. If you hate fake strawberry, I recommend you skip this bar. <\/p>\n

\"4<\/p>\n

The waffle cone bits have a good crunch, but don\u2019t texturally resemble waffle cones \u2013 they\u2019re too thick. I can\u2019t even see any telltale ridges on them. Without seeing the wrapper, I would identify these as cookie bits. <\/p>\n

As noted in our <\/a>Triple Chocolate Cookie Layer Crunch review, the outer coating is the very familiar Hershey chocolate. <\/p>\n

Is there anything else I need to know?<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s a lot of air inside these bars. The solid cr\u00e8me layer does not really interact with the physically uneven crunch layer \u2013 it sits atop it, leaving empty space. Not a huge deal, but is a bit disappointing in a small bar. <\/p>\n

\"5<\/p>\n

Each bag contains 9 mini-bars, which felt like a good amount. <\/p>\n

\"6<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

They taste OK and are new flavors in this series, but there\u2019s nothing great or novel about them \u2013 and isn\u2019t that why we\u2019re all here? If you\u2019re a diehard Cookie Layer Crunch fan, they\u2019re worth a try. If not, there\u2019s more interesting chocolates out there. <\/p>\n
