\"Hershey<\/p>\n

What is the Hershey’s Milk Chocolate & Reese’s Pieces Bar?<\/h3>\n

The love child of a Hershey\u2019s Milk Chocolate Bar and Reese\u2019s Pieces, or as the Hershey\u2019s marketing folks put it \u201cthe ultimate celebration of the top two iconic chocolate franchises that will melt your heart to pieces for a once-in-a-lifetime epic treat.\u201d <\/p>\n

How is it?<\/h3>\n

\"Hershey<\/p>\n

Based on the aforementioned tagline, I was fully prepared for a life-changing, out-of-body experience that I would eventually tell my grandchildren about. Sadly, the little yet-to-be-born rascals will instead have to listen to other stories, like the time I saw The Rock at the airport. But despite not quite living up to the WWE-style marketing hype, this is a tasty treat. <\/p>\n

\"Hershey<\/p>\n

The Reese\u2019s Pieces stand out nicely from the milk chocolate and provide a solid crunch that is obviously absent from a plain chocolate bar. The candy also adds a light peanut butter flavor that complements the creamy chocolate perfectly without making you think you are just eating a flattened peanut butter cup. <\/p>\n

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

\"Hershey<\/p>\n

If the photos don\u2019t give it away, the Reese\u2019s Pieces are actually minis. There is also a king size version of this, but I didn\u2019t have any luck finding it. If that one has a thicker bar with full-size Pieces, it might offer a bit more crunchiness. Also, whoever designed the wrapper apparently doesn\u2019t believe in equality in the candy world, because the Hershey\u2019s part covers much more than half. <\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/h3>\n

At first glance, I figured this wouldn\u2019t be much different than just chucking some Reese\u2019s Pieces in my mouth along with a bite of a Hershey\u2019s bar, but having the Pieces embedded in the chocolate takes this to the next level. It might not be an epic candy creation \u2014 like Reese\u2019s Pieces were \u2014 but it\u2019s a nice change of pace from the standard chocolate bar. <\/p>\n
